Camelot: How Alexander Astaire wants to further expand his world

Will Perceval, Lancelot and Caradoc appear in the new medium? After the TV series, the movie, and the comics, director Alexandre Astier has announced that he wants to expand the world of Camelot not on the small or big screen, but in… role-playing games!

And the most famous role-playing game has 50 million players!

guest of the show Hot onesIntroduced by his friend Kian Khojandi, Astieh shared his desire to write a role-playing Bible based on the world of King Arthur as represented in his successful TV series. But what exactly does he mean by “Role-to-Role Bible”?

The roleplaying bible is what contains the rules, ie how you travel, how you fight, how you negotiate, I admit that if I could make a roleplaying game “Kaamelott”…

A sentence that the presenter does not leave hanging, the guest rushes to start again, who continues:

“I want it. Where usually the boys catch adventurers to help them (…), you carry an army that stops you: the one who can’t do it, the one who can’t travel at night because he has chips, he has to stop And hit, and you have to solve all this, regardless.: He goes there regardless of the rest (…). Don’t do it because they believe in them or something. “

What is role play? By Alexandre Astier

“This is the most beautiful game in the world, without any hesitation”he explains in Hot Ones. “You have a game master who has a script that he bought or made and tells others what is going on. That is, you are the player, I describe everything that you can not see and do not. Listen and I will tell you: “You are in front of the door”. You say to me: ” I try to open it” and I will tell you the result of this: it is – what is open. , is the picking closed or not… and everything that comes by chance in life is replaced by dice in a role-playing game.”

In cinema, the role-playing game that has the most screen presence is Dungeons & Dragons, of course with the Stranger Things series boasting it, but also four feature films, only one of which is really worth it, and that’s this one. One! Children of the 80s also knew the animated series whose theme song was sung by Dorothy And most recently, Prime Video launched the show The Legend of Vox Machina, adapted from the long-running game.

Conversely, many film franchises have been retrospectively adapted into role-playing games, such as Indiana Jones, James Bond, Star Wars, Aliens, or In Black.

Before “jdr” Kaamelott, Alexandre Astier undoubtedly prefers to release the two films that make up the second part of his film trilogy, before the third part, which asks him a big question that he may have found the answer to since then!

And once Kaamelott is finished, the creator has a feature project to adapt The Beast of Gevaudan into a miniseries. To be continued !
