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

Paizo and Ossian Studios has revealed a new trailer for the upcoming Pathfinder: The Dragon's Demand video game, with a Kickstarter set to launch soon. The new game is a CRPG-style game that uses a tabletop miniatures-style and the Pathfinder 2E ruleset. The story is an adaptation of the 2013 adventure The Dragon's Demand, a 1st-7th level adventure set in Taldor that features heroes facing a new Dragon Tyrant. While the game uses digital miniatures, it also features various visual effects, dynamic weather, and adaptive poses not really feasible with a tabletop setting. The game will also feature an expanded storyline, new side quests and a new "personal storyline" for player characters.

The Kickstarter will feature "authentic minted precious metal City of Absalom coins and 3D printable STL mini files" among other rewards, per the press release announcing the pending campaign.

Ossian Studios is an independent studio based out of Vancouver, CA. They've previously developed several well-received Neverwinter Nights modules.

You can check out the first trailer for the game below:

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

I'd back it in a gold minute if it was on GOG. Right now it seems like it's only going to be on STEAM though...from all appearances.

I would provide that feedback to them. It was a different developer, but the crowdfunding campaign for the Abomination Vaults game added GOG as an option due to how many people said that was a condition for them backing the campaign.

I'm not quite certain how to leave it as you have to commit to the campaign (at least a little bit) to comment there. I AM tempted to maybe back it at the lowest amount just for the coins though (but once again, it has a little blurb that unless you are copper level you can't even do that until after the kickstarter is over and they have the additional sales after).

You could back it at the minimum tier and leave a comment saying you want to see a GOG option added and if they add it, change your backing tier to that and if they don’t, just cancel your backing before the campaign ends. In the case of BKOM adding a GOG option for Abomination Vaults, I think most of that conversation took place on their discord because they had a very engaged community manager listening to feedback. It’s also worth mentioning BKOM made the change before the project funded and since this project hasn’t hit its funding goal yet, they might be more willing to listen to feedback to help hit the funding goal.

Someone asked and they responded about GOG:

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).

Figured they’d come around eventually if people asked and they were risking the project not funding.

Looks like they cleared their goal, with a bit over a day to go.

Hoping they hit the archetype stretch goal. It’s doable since they could see a bump in funding in the last 24 hours since the project will definitely fund now.

With seconds to spare before the campaign ended, it broke the $610k CAD stretch goal to support archetypes by $18.

Well, as I became an official supporter when they updated to include a GoG release, I hope they get the game finished, and after that hope that they actually DO release it for us GoG players.
