Overview

  • On August 4, Glass Cannon launched a Kickstarter teaser page revealing early details for Diablo: The Roleplaying Game ahead of its Fall 2025 crowdfunding.
  • Player characters begin as fully equipped heroes from session zero, bypassing traditional low-level progression to deliver instant epic-level action.
  • Combat relies on a custom d6 dice-pool and an Eternal Conflict-inspired push-your-luck mechanic to mirror Diablo’s fast-paced hack-and-slash battles.
  • The project includes a 300-page core rulebook paired with detailed miniatures and one-shot adventures by writers such as Graham McNeill, MJ Newman, John Harper and Francesco Nepitello.
  • Players can choose from iconic Diablo classes—Barbarian, Druid, Necromancer, Rogue and Sorcerer—and the setting hints at Diablo 4’s Lilith-era timeline.
