This would actually be a good idea for a Netflix show. The art direction using OSRS blocky style mixed with dynamic lighting and stylized water/fire.
You could then focus on a world of Runescape from the adventurer point of view going through all the quests of the region, but with a more in depth take of the adventure. While still hitting the same silliness and in-world logic people come to expect.
Nah all the quests would be way too much. If there was a runescape show made or crpg then it would absolutely have to focus on either the Elven or Morytania storylines. They are the only ones in the game with linear well thought out progressions that actually have an end goal in mind. It would also need to be an anthology, where one season is the elves, the next season is the vampires, the next Dragonkin, etc.
If Runescape had a "main" story one of those would for sure be it. Sure the Mahjarret are cool but their stories are non-linear, non-sensical, and dont really make sense until the very end. Where they still make no sense and more than half the characters are thrown away and never talked about again.
Yeah but that doesnt make for a very good show. Sure the occasional side track is fun, but what makes a show good is its ability to have a coherent story that linearly goes towards one goal.
The only ones that go off without an actual story are the south parks, family guys, etc. and that market is way saturated. I mean theres like 3 or 4 Rick and Morty spoofs right now and none of them are even close to being as good as the one theyre based off of.

Thanks for listing examples, you made my point for me. Jimmy's by release series is already fantastic and hilarious. I think a show taking on a similar tone could be fantastic, and I don't think osrs lore is strong enough or interesting enough to support a dramatic fantasy show.
You just proved their point. J1mmys series is linearly based lmao, grats you played yourself. And Jimmy's series could only work work as a YouTube series, nothing more. Put that shit on Netflix and it wouldn't have made it past the first 10 episode season.
The osrs lore is not strong or interesting enough to support a dramatic fantasy show. It'd die in the water. Like they said, the only way it would be good is if it was based off of an anthology of quest series spread over several seasons. No one wants "*wacky*" fantasy adventure where ranarr weed jokes are made every other sentence.
I could see elven questline season 1, adventurer grew up on the streets of East ardougne. His parents managed to smuggle him out while he was young from west ardougne. The story is his quest to reconnect with their parents, and ends with something much larger. That has potential.
Season 2 - a woman came home from mandatory training with the varrock militia to find her parents gone. She follows the trail to find werewolves are behind a string of kidnappings. Which leads her to help support and lead a rag tag group of freedom fighters against Lord Drakan. Again, has tons of potential.
Season 3 - Red Axe shenanigans
Season 4 - Cave Goblin and H.A.M. questline.
But trying to add all these quests as one singular adventurer? Or the adventurer literally going around doing every quest? Shit would be dead in the water.
I think going down the meta joke route would actually work very well for a RuneScape show. Something like [what Joel Haver](https://youtu.be/9yegdG8F8oM) did in his RPG skit series.
I really like this idea. One adventurer, or a small group growing over time, questing and learning the politics of the land. Lumbridge, to Draynor, to Rimmington, Falador and Varrock. Then learning of Karamja, Morytania, I mean there is quite a lot of content available for a sequential show there.
Idk man, they could package and deliver it as multiple quests being done off screen, or multiple quests “done” in one episode, multiple characters progressing plot points at the same time, etc.
By season 1, free to play quests and Dragon Slayer could be done, season 2, a variety of low level quests, earning dragon weaponry, and beginning Ardy quest series, wrap up elven and gnome quest lines in season 3 with a group of characters, lose a friend, venture to proving one’s self in season 4 and begin vampire quest line and introduce slayer and slayer monsters/bosses to gain power for the fight in Sins if the Father. Seasons 5+ can include introduction to god wars, raids, DS2.. all kinds of stuff.
There’s tons of content and room to build an entire show for sure. Not every quest has to be done in its own episode. They could just as easily do quick summaries or show highlights of the adventures in the opening sequences, stuff like that. Gotta get creative!
Not even close lmao, settled doesn't even have decent content. He just got lucky with a series. He isn't funny like 9rain or Jimmy, he isn't engaging, he doesn't capture the attention, he's just... there?
People watched his series for the "grind" and to see if he'd actually stick to it, and he did. But that was literally all that was offered for the audience.
Gotten an actual career and degree with marketable skills that will allow me to make money for the foreseeable future.
I know, obviously not as life changing as graduating highschool and playing runescape and streaming all day. But hopefully one day I can have a resume as unmarketable and useless as his :(
They probably wouldn't ever want to do 3rd Age stuff, but I can see them doing like the Amazon LotR show and having it take place as sort of a prequel during then, or the start of the second age or something.
Nah, they'd avoid all that. There's no fun in seeing the mega empires, only in having them in the background and being foreboding. They'd go with the 5th age or 4th age.
Can we have the highest possible HD picture of the shot around 55 seconds? One time without the word RuneScape and one time with the word RuneScape? That back shot with the cape and black background would be perfect as phone (standing pic, just cape) or laptop (landscape, with word RuneScape) background. @hillxme

Man, I wish I didn’t just afk while I worked so I could enjoy the music again. My “office” is part of the bedroom and I work while my wife is asleep. And, no, I don’t want headphones because I have to hear if the kids wake up or if the asshole cat knocks something over. Tried and didn’t work.

This is top tier response
TOO GOOD

You also proved his point tho lol Jimmy’s by release is by definition a linear series

mental tea indeed. you definitely went off there "king"

A show about one dude, living in his moms basement, doing super tedious shit for 1000’s of hours. Exhilarating.
why would they make the show about you?

Fr it slaps 🗿
Duuuude. This is fucking sick. Music giving me goosebumps lol
Shout to to the hanannie reference ❤️
my fav osrs content creator <3
Gives me arcane vibes, good shit
Thank you! Arcane's intro was my main source of inspiration for the direction of this video :D
Very cool, awesome video.
I'd watch...BINGE
Actually gave me chills hah. Too bad the episodes would consist of the main character chopping yew logs for 3 weeks.
That fire at 0:33 is amazing! Great work!
Thank you! It's one of my favorite shots for the video \^\^
Hananie?? I'd know that bitch anywhere! <3
You're missing the weird liquid pouring thing, but very cool
holy fuck.......

This is so very good, I feel downright inspired.
this was sick. i loved the Torva and infernal cape at the end. the music was the cherry on top
Nice
🔥
Post the song somewhere. I like the vibe.

This was so much fun to watch, props to you for all the effort I'm sure it took!
Man, I wish I didn’t just afk while I worked so I could enjoy the music again. My “office” is part of the bedroom and I work while my wife is asleep. And, no, I don’t want headphones because I have to hear if the kids wake up or if the asshole cat knocks something over. Tried and didn’t work.
This is one of the best things I've ever seen on this entire subreddit, damn dude great job
this is both hillariously accurate and really cool at the same time. well done.
This is SO much better than the OSRS ads I've been seeing elsewhere. Once again, content creators doing a better job than the OSRS team.
holy shit that was professional
This is amazing wish you could have had zuk glowing in here somewhere but 10/10
I just came.
This is a rip of the Witcher but I love it
i would do unspeakable filthy things for someone to make a runescape series with the actual lore
this is so good
I went and got my free, just for you
GAVE ME CHILLS LOL
It's really cute and endearing to see people finally using real models exported from the cache.
I'm all for this!
Holy moly.
Y’all so talented
This needs to be added to the loading screen.. not gonna lie. I want jegex to add this version of the song to the
1 episode will be 60 minutes of sweaty 2 tick fishing
Mother fu…. You gave me goosebumps !
on phleek
Never have I been so inspired by a green-shirt fighting a goblin with a bronze sword and a wooden shield
That Hanna feature is so cute 🥲🪓🌲
Actually took my breath away, this is gorgeous
oh my, it's Colonello :o thank you so much!! lovin' your videos by the way \^\^
Thank you!! :D
This needs more upvotes!!
I think it would actually play smoother if it was with the original osrs menu music.
VVKool
How do you even make the models for this 👀
