Jason Bulmahn is the leading expert on Pathfinder - he's the driving creative force behind the greatest challenger to D&D ever, showing the world the full potential of the OGL. Via the foundation of his own game studio, Minotaur Games, and the crowdfunding platform of Patreon, Jason is developing something very special for Pathfinder fans.
JASON BULMAHN'S EDGE OF EVENTIDE
Welcome to the Edge of Eventide campaign, a unique game experience created for the Pathfinder RPG! Edge of Eventide is a Dramatic Campaign, a new type of campaign that includes player characters with rich backstories, complex emotions, and personal motivations. Each character is fully integrated into the campaign world and the story of the adventure, giving players and GMs a chance to fully immerse themselves in the world and its adventure.
Edge of Eventide is a dramatic campaign for 5 to 7 participants, built using the Pathfinder RPG rules. In this campaign, 4 to 6 of the participants will take on the role of players, using one of the characters provided by the campaign. The remaining participant will take on the role of storyteller and GM, using the provided adventures and characters to weave a rich and engaging story of adventure, loss, regret, and salvation.
This campaign is divided up into three acts, with each act consisting of three adventures. Each of the nine adventures that make up the campaign is designed to be played in one long play session or two shorter sessions. The campaign assumes breaks between each adventure in any case, to allow time for special events, new character revelations, and other downtime activities. In total, the campaign should take anywhere between 60 and 80 hours to complete. I am planning on delivering one adventure every four to six weeks. The best part is that you don't pay unless I deliver!
Unlike in a traditional campaign, players in the Edge of Eventide campaign must select from one of six premade characters that come with a deep back-story, personal goals, motivations, and attitudes. Taken as a whole, this makes the group one that has an intricate relationship, with friendships and rivalries, secrets and history. While much of each character is set, the players are given a wide variety of choices to make with their character during selection and throughout play. Some of these will have a deep and lasting impact on the campaign, while others will simply serve to round out the character and make it a unique expression.
In addition to the PDF files, all supporters of this Patreon will have an opportunity to contribute to the process, giving feedback on the adventure and the characters.
Everyone's used to Kickstarter as the driving tool of RPG and game creators to bring their visions to life, but Patreon is another fantastic way to support your favorite designers and other creative folks. It works over the long haul, and creates a much stronger connection between the audience and the crafter. Jason is trying something new and powerful for Pathfinder and RPG fans, so do yourself a favor and take a look.
