The Tabletop Games Thread Explores Other Media (2/4/26)

Welcome back to the weekly Tabletop Games thread! This thread is where we can talk about all kinds of RPGs, card games, board games, etc. Whether you gather around a physical table in the real world, or use a virtual space to play with friends who may live far away from you, this is where you can discuss your favorites, ask for and/or receive recommendations, recap your recent adventures, or even find some people to play games with!

Discussion Prompt: Lots of tabletop games are based on or inspired by works from other media (books, movies, etc), but every so often it happens the other way. Whether it’s the Dragonlance novels, TV game shows like Win Lose or Draw, video games that adapt TTRPG rulesets like Baldur’s Gate, or movies like Clue or Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, what are some of your favorite books, movies, shows, video games, etc based on tabletop games?

If you would like to suggest a prompt or contribute a write-up or discussion topic of your own, let me know in the comments!
