Chris Avellone Joins Republic Games for New RPG Project

Sure, here it goes — a bit all over the place, but that’s how the cookie crumbles, right?

So, yeah, Chris Avellone. This guy’s been around forever, right? Anyway, he just hopped on board with Republic Games. I found this out on LinkedIn of all places. Adam Williams, who’s the big cheese over there, couldn’t stop singing his praises. I mean, the guy’s been successful in the biz for ages, so I guess it makes sense he’d brag a bit.

According to Eurogamer — and I may have misread this because my coffee hadn’t kicked in yet — they’re cooking up an RPG. Supposedly, it’s going to have this wild, intricate story. You know, choices, branches, different endings. The whole shebang. It’s like they want you to get lost in it. Honestly, I’m curious but also a bit skeptical. Like, where was I? Oh, right, RPGs.

Williams couldn’t stop gushing on LinkedIn. He was basically like, “Chris is a wizard. Seriously. Top of our list!” I mean, can you blame him? Chris was part of that golden age of RPGs. You remember that era? It was… magical. Or maybe that’s nostalgia talking, who knows. Anyway — wait, what’s my point?

Republic Games is deep into crafting this dark, twisty fantasy world. Sounds intense but also kinda cool if they can pull it off. They’re aiming to rekindle that old-school RPG magic. Or maybe surpass it? Ambitious much? Everyone’s psyched about assembling what they called a “dream team.” A bit cheesy, but hey, dream big or go home, right?

Oh, and here’s a curveball. Back in 2020, Chris faced some serious allegations. He flat-out denies them, though. So there’s that little wrinkle, which I guess they’re navigating. No judgment here, just letting the messy details spill out. Makes you wonder how these things play out behind the scenes.

So, wait, am I finished? Or maybe I’m missing something? Nah, that seems like the gist of it.
