The World of Warcraft Roleplaying Game is a hidden gem that so few people talk about. But maybe that’s because NOBODY seems to have heard of it, except for the select few mega fans who still play the RPG to this day. In this video, Nixxiom and Moocluck go into the history of World of Warcraft DnD, from its early days back in 3rd Edition, to the fan made 5th edition versions of the game that exist online for download. Hopefully this video brings more attention to this amazing game that so few people are aware of!

  1. unfortunately 5e is overly simplified for a TTRPG. the vast majority of your character customisation happens at level 1 with very linear progression from there. its very video gamey. it might fit WoW for that reason but i wish Warcraft RPGing stuck to an RPG that lets you grow and develop your characters skills based on things you wanted them to practice throughout the campaign.

  2. I have been trying to explain why classic Wow is different from modern wow.
    classic wow has a secret sauce to its combat. gracefully (and a bit of luck) found an amazing balance between a turn based game and allowing movement for a simulated action feeling. This combat is inspired and created from TTRPGs like dnd.

    This video also shows the inspiration and design choices of why and how classic wow is more then just “ nostalgia”

    Modern wow focuses on blizzards Rotation design for each class by spamming your glowing buttons. and when you miss a button or do it out of order you damage and effectiveness drops dramatically. wow is not intended to be an action based game like Darksouls or New world.

  3. Blizzard did alot of products to promote the game. The RPG, the trading card game, adventure board game, the official board game all which I have copies of except the adventure game. The card game was the only one that had any longevity that lasted until 2013 and thats only cause it sold because of the loot cards. People would literally buy boxes just for the loot cards and trash the rest of the cards. The RPG books are very hard to get ahold of anymore only but luck in an old book store or on ebay for a rather heavy price. Its also worth mentioning that up until one of the blizzcons in the mid 2000s, were really one of the few detailed sources of lore that we had until they were deemed non-cannon. However, there is a full 5E conversion of the WoW TTRPG out there.

  4. I remember… I even have a copy.

    It was just a lousy representation and modeling of the Warcraft Universe.

    The Vancian/Gygaxian magic system intrinsic to D&D just doesn't work for the world. It would need to be completely rewritten.

  5. I've honestly been tempted to make a sourcebook for GENESYS based on it, but I know next to nothing about editing.
    Even if I managed to pull this off, I'd be afraid of it ending on a Cease and Desist.

  6. Bro what a great and WEIRDLY perfectly timed video. I had just found my dads old Collectors edition of WOTLK and found a add booklet inside of all WoW's other spinoff projects. Like comic books, board games, and books. That got me curious about them because they were a tad before my time, and I grew up watching and playing wow with my dad so I started looking into all those old products. Low and behold not even 2 days after all that happened NIxxiom comes out with a video reminiscing on a lot of the same things I researched.

  7. when you see a video about one game, sponsored by another game, the single word comes to mind about the uploader. say it with me and say it proud… W H O R E
