Netflix's The Dragon Prince has recently been adapted into a tabletop roleplaying game. 1 / 9

It's produced by Fandom Tabletop and based off of its Cortex system. 2 / 9

The Cortex system is complex though, and even more so in Tales of Xadia. 3 / 9

The game has players roll a large dice pool and pick out two values. 4 / 9

One of the remaining die is chosen as the "effect die," which determines damage. 5 / 9

That damage is inflicted in the form of stress, which has six different types. 6 / 9

This level of complexity isn't great for a licensed game like Tales of Xadia. 7 / 9

Rules-lite games work better in that context, as it makes it more accessible to fans... 8 / 9

...who are new to tabletop gaming as a whole and want to try a game based off a favored IP. 9 / 9
