The Ossian Studios Kickstarter for this innovative single-player, turn-based, computer roleplaying game, using remastered Pathfinder Second Edition rules and a tabletop minis style will begin soon.
VANCOUVER, BC Tuesday, September 10: Today, Ossian Studios and Paizo sent out the call to get ready to back the Pathfinder: The Dragon’s Demand CRPG on Kickstarter. Over a year in the making, the single-player, turn-based game features deep character customization, a faithful adaptation of the remastered Pathfinder Second Edition rules, and an enhanced tabletop minis-style play. The Paizo-licensed game is set in the captivating Lost Omens world, in an expansion of the popular deluxe super-adventure of the same name. The Kickstarter will open soon and offer authentic minted precious metal City of Absalom coins and 3D printable STL mini files among its many rewards.
Alan Miranda, CEO of Ossian Studios, starts the tale: “Deep within the ancient Verduran Forest of Golarion, in a treacherous swampland known as the Dragonfen, there is a tale about the Dragon Tyrant Aeteperax, slain a thousand years ago by a band of heroic warriors. But victory doesn’t last forever, and enemies shall eventually rise again, calling forth new heroes to embark upon a perilous quest to save a town and defeat he who would once more call himself the Dragon Tyrant.”
Inspired by Miranda’s years of playing tabletop roleplaying games and working at BioWare as a producer on the Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights games, Pathfinder: The Dragon’s Demand recreates that same pen-and-paper magic.
“The Dragon’s Demand is all about miniatures in a tabletop-style world. It goes back to tabletop’s roots in a single-player, turn-based video game with miniatures. It looks like a beautiful tabletop diorama but does things that aren’t possible to show on a physical tabletop like a 3D grid system, adaptive poses, dynamic weather, visual effects, and more,” elaborates Miranda.
The CRPG will be based on the 2013 Pathfinder Adventure: The Dragon’s Demand, a Pathfinder First Edition dungeon and wilderness adventure for 1st-level characters, written by Mike Shel, that delves into the Dark Tapestry: the darkness between the stars where powerful entities and madness lurk.
“We’ll be expanding that adventure with new areas to explore, lots of intriguing side quests, and a brand new, personal story for player characters that delves into the darkness of the Dark Tapestry,” said Miranda.
