Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand Reveals New Trailer, Kickstarter Launching Soon

One of my favorite starter adventures. I have run this at least 20 times in PF and have run it about 5 times in 5E, and currently getting it set up to run in shadowdark. Fun adventure, lots of opportunities to customize, and make it your own, interesting choices and paths, fun story that you can easily drop in lots of seeds in for other adventures. I do tone down the number of magical items in the adventure.

"a CRPG-style game that uses a tabletop miniatures-style and the Pathfinder 2E ruleset." - so this is an actual computer game, right? Because watching that trailer it looks like "digital miniatures" means "we aren't going to animate the pcs/npcs/monsters in this thing" which is a pretty dramatic shortcut for a game like this. Digital miniatures is more of a VTT term so if this isn't a VTT that seems like a misstep.

"it also features various visual effects, dynamic weather, and adaptive poses not really feasible with a tabletop setting" - I mean, yeah, things you would expect a CRPG to include going back 20+ years.

This just seems like a weird way to present a CRPG - they are not a new concept. Any Pathfinder game like this is going to be compared to Wrath of the Righteous and Kingmaker from the last few years, not to mention the Baldur's Gate games, etc. so I do not get the strategy here.

Based on just this trailer, I'd assume it's just the fight scenarios from the adventure (with maybe a brief interlude text window to set the scene up)...

Which would be fine, if it's readily expandable by them, once their groundwork is done. Anything using PF2e gets my interest!

EDIT: Oh, they previously made Neverwinter Nights modules, that makes perfect sense.

I think you cannot compete with Owlcat/Larian anyway (and it would take a lot of years to even attempt)... Something a lot smaller and easier to do (like using minis instead of animating characters) makes a lot of sense, and means you could do ten such things in the same time.

I hope that it is going to be on GOG as welll as that's normally where I buy games (travel and steam being drm which has to be connected to the internet so steam can even start up is a non-starter for me, as half the time I don't even have access to the internet on my travel...so...I don't use steam).

Obviously it can vary by game but I have a Steam Deck which I take with me when I travel and will often times play games in offline mode on the Deck in the plane.

That narrator's voice really grates on my nerves. Not sure why.

Live now!

Worth noting they have an early bird discount and everything is in Canadian, so cheaper than it appears at first glance for US folks.
