Like how Baldur's Gate 3 is based on Dungeons and Dragons.
I love how Disco Elysium revolves around talking and the occassional dice roll for checks. I love how combat is not thrown around willu nilly.
Martin Luiga, cofounder of the original ZA/UM Cultural Association and a developer on Disco Elysium, wrote an article that briefly describes how the 'original' DE tabletop games functioned. He also wrote an article on the Mack Torsson and Chester McLaine game and its general plot.
