I remember reading somewhere that the Malazan world was created through Steven and Ian playing some kind of Role Playing game in their homemade world. I am wondering if the rules of that game have ever been released?

Also I think this world would be brilliant for a miniature game like Warhammer so just wondering if there is any news on the game front?

[Scifreak]

It'd make a cool wargame, no doubt. Think the rpg would be superior tho

[Shadowthrone]

So does anyone know the rules that Steven and Ian used when they played? Honestly I think it would be awesome if someone created new rules for a DnD type game for this world.

Well it's been said they based the malazan world on the Forgotten Realms D&D world. If you look closely you can see some similarities.

[Aptorian]

As far as I remember someone is currently working on a game based on the Malazanworld.

Try looking in the game area.

[Silencer]

Meh. Different types of game, people!

One's computer-based, I think Shadowthrone was talking about the pen-and-paper variety. Still, check out Hetan's link!

It said in an interview somewhere that they started with a customised DnD and moved onto GURPS.

Question, is the malazan computer game on modcraft still in progress? You guys still working on it or what? And what are you making? A mod for a game?

[Silencer]

Yes, it's still in progress.

Sadly, due to my busy exam schedule, there hasn't been much going on. However, as my exams are pretty much over, things should start to pick up. *hopes*

At the moment, we've finished the basic design of what we want, and are going to start doing a demo in the form of a mod shortly.

My ex and I started working on a game in the Malazan world based on a White Wolf system.

Since we've broken up, obviously, we haven't really developed it past those first few games, but we made it work. We used White Wolf primarily because of their golden rule (There are no rules), which we felt allowed for a lot of flexibility on the game's part. It rocked pretty hard core, too...

Yeah, I had an idea along those lines too, for flexibility and simplicity. oWoD Mage spheres rules would have easily translated for warrens, holds etc.

It would be amazing, but I doubt I will happen. Have you seen the aSoIaF mod for Medieval 2?

Total War with Malazan munitions, Mage cadres, different races, and, and... Mortal Swords! Tenescowri in Capustan!.... I'd better calm down

It would just be too good.

[the peacemaker]

hate when things that would go so nice together dont... warhammer total war malaz total war warcraft total war... DAM THEM ALL FOR BEENG SO EPIC IN MY HEAD!!

I've been playing around with an idea for a Diceland set based on GotM. Also tossing around a few ideas about a full-world boardgame...

Here's a very rough mock-up of side 8 and side 1 for Anomander Rake, for Diceland:
