Not all crowdfunding is done on Kickstarter and computer game company Obsidian Entertainment (Baldur’s Gate, Icewind Dale, Fallout, Planescape: Torment, etc) have been using fig.co to raise money for Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire. Very successfully too as they are approaching $2.5 million with over two weeks left to go! Of interest to us is that their $2.4 million stretch goal unlocked a pen and paper RPG of Pillars of Eternity.
First and foremost, we are excited to announce that everyone who has backed us at the Premium Digital tier and above will be getting a boost! Today, we’re officially announcing the Pillars of Eterniy pen-and-paper RPG experience! This new journey to the world of Eora begins with a 30-page Starter Guide, featuring a rules set developed from the ground up by Josh Sawyer and the Pillars of Eternity design team. Now, you can have your own adventures with your friends, in the comfort of your favorite tabletop setting. Best of all, if you’ve backed the campaign at Premium Digital or above you literally don’t have to do anything to get this. Pillars of Eternity RPG is our own take on how to play a pen and paper game; it will not be using the Pillars of Eternity computer game system or that of any other RPG – it’s going to use our own ruleset made specifically for the Pillars of Eternity world. Of course, if you haven’t backed us at premium Digital or above, we won’t shut you out! You can get the pen-and-paper Starter’s Guide for just $7 as an add-on, as well.
No further information is available at present but we’ll be keeping an eye on the campaign updates to see if more information about the tabletop RPG is released, including further books.
