Blizzard co-founder Mike Morhaime is making a tabletop RPG party game

Blizzard co-founder and ex-CEO Mike Morhaime’s new company just announced Sunderfolk, a unique take on tabletop RPGs. The console and PC title can be played on a phone, like Jackbox titles.

The “tactical couch co-op RPG” is being advertised as a way for veteran tabletop players to introduce the genre to their inexperienced friends. Sunderfolk can be played by up to four players at once and there are six hero classes, like bard, arcanist, ranger and some of the other usual suspects. The unique control scheme looks to eliminate some of the barriers of entry with this type of game, like the steep learning curve and lengthy set-up time.
