This is an immensely complex set of responsibilities, one that sceptics doubted could be contained within the inherent constraints of a digital game and, judging by the results of n-Scape’s work, they were probably right. Which makes it easy to understand the early buzz surrounding Sword Coast Legends’s promise to provide the crucial feature of the tabletop experience, one missing from all other attempts to simulate it: a player-controlled dungeon master, a role encompassing rule arbitration, storytelling, and world-building-in short, controlling everything in the fictional world other than the player characters’ own actions. The influence of tabletop roleplaying in the evolution of digital gaming is immeasurable, much stronger than the annual figures on Bethesda sales and World of Warcraft subscriptions would indicate. And if that example seems obsolete, as the game is a relic of a time when hardware limitations meant the most imaginative settings had to be created with words rather than moving images, there’s also the example of Rogue, a D&D-inspired title that, like the gaming equivalent of My Bloody Valentine’s first two LPs, was only appreciated by a limited, specialist audience in its time, but whose influence still reverberates throughout the industry, as evident in the deluge of roguelikes that have dominated the indie scene for the last five years. Colossal Cave, the first-ever text adventure game, was written by Will Crowther in an attempt to combine his two favorite pastimes: spelunking and Dungeons & Dragons. The desire runs so deep that it’s not even contained within its specifically appointed genre.
