The Supernatural Role Playing Game is a role-playing game set to be released in 2007. It is based on the television series Supernatural.
History
The rights to the license was acquired in the spring of 2007 by Margaret Weis Productions, Ltd (MWP). It was also around this time that New York Times best-selling author Margaret Weis announced that the license to Dragonlance was not renewed so that the company could focus on the Supernatural RPG as well as their work on the Battlestar Gallactica RPG. Once licensing approvals are worked out, a "quickstart guide" is set for August 2007 and the Supernatural RPG "core book" is set for October 2007.
Early indications by Jamie Chambers place the first official game event to be at Gen Con 2007 in Indianapolis, Indiana. This will include "two adventures that will allow players to experience the Supernatural Role Playing Game for the first time outside of our internal playtesting and development." In the fall, MWP will also be showing the game at Lucca Comics & Games Festival in Italy.
Gameplay
The game will consist of one person known as the Game Master, who runs the whole game, and two or more player characters, known as Hunters. These Hunters can either be newly created characters or Dean and Sam Winchester.
The material used will "follow the information from the show, the comics, and the novels, and run on the Unisystem, which has in the past been used for games based on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Army of Darkness, and Angel."
