Game Master Mode details from Divinity: Original Sin 2

Fans can create their own role playing scenarios in the upcoming sequel

Posted on

Larian Studios has today revealed detailed information about Game Master Mode, a feature in Divinity: Original Sin 2 that lets players use Divinity’s combat and roleplaying systems to create their own custom tabletop RPG campaigns.

Developed as a fulfilled stretch goal from the Kickstarter campaign, Game Master mode tries to capture the tabletop RPG experience for four players and their game master. Game Master Mode is focused on storytelling, and game masters have complete control over the campaign they create. They can choose from a wide array of campaign maps or upload their own images to serve as the global stage for their adventure, and choose from a number of pre-built settings and character models to create combat and roleplaying encounters. Game masters can also use Divinity: Original Sin 2’s modding tool to build their own battle arenas, provincial villages, haunted ruins, and other settings.

Role playing and NPC interactions are facilitated through a “vignettes” system, which allows game masters to create text “cards” that allow players to choose between multiple dialogue and decision options and make dice-based skill checks. Just like in real tabletop games, success is determined by the game master alone. When fights do break out, game masters and players have Divinity’s full combat system at their disposal - game masters can let enemies fight automatically, or take direct control over NPCs to match their players in head-to-head combat or support them in battle.

Campaigns can be uploaded and shared through Steam Workshop, making it easy for game masters and players to find new adventures to play.

42,713 backers pledged $2,032,434 to help fund Divinity: Original Sin 2. The game is coming to PC some time in the future.
