Digital Content Enters A New Era

[Exmortis]

First and foremost GRATZ LWD!

This is a huge step forward for LWD and Realm Works, also a big leap in usability for a lot of folks looking in from the outside. Paizo is the most important partner to get, and you have it day 1. Lets hope that with Green Ronin and Frog God Games on board as well, we will see continued growth in the partner list. Can anyone say Rappan Athuk on RW!!!??!!!

I'd hope we see all the RPG publishers here soon, thought I play PF, its not the only game in town.

@Farling He has been lurking for months, no sleep, just awaiting that post.

This is great news. I've been watching the comments on the forum about RW and was waiting for this news about the Paizo deal. Now I have something to ask my wife to get me for Christmas. She keeps asking me what I wanted. I was hesitate about getting RW. But now I'm ready to jump on board.

Looking forward to 2016 and the Pathfinder content.

I was waiting this news for so long! I'm really happy to see all the wonderful work of Paizo in their Adventure Paths ready to use in Realm Works. It'll be a life saver in prep time.

Congratulations to all involved.

It would not surprise me if Green Ronin, Kobold Press, Paizo, Frog God Games all had someone testing realm works the entire time

 

[Parody]

Some Frog God and Green Ronin content should be coming for Kickstarter backers, so either they or someone they've hired should be working on it.

• “Pirate’s Guide to Freeport” from Green Ronin Publishing (all systems)
• “The Freeport Companion” from Green Ronin Publishing (Pathfinder and Fate)
• “Razor Coast” from Frog God Games (Pathfinder)
• “Blood Drive Trilogy” from Pinnacle Entertainment (Deadlands – Savage Worlds)
• “Grande Temple of Jing” from Hammerdog Games (Pathfinder)
• “Masks: 1,000 Memorable NPCs for Any Roleplaying Game” from Engine Publishing (all systems)
• “Eureka: 501 Adventure Plots to Inspire Game Masters” from Engine Publishing (all systems)
• “Never Unprepared: The Complete Game Masters Guide to Session Prep” from Engine Publishing (all systems)

As a Kickstarter backer who will get access to all the above, I salivating at the prospect.

Is LWD or are third parties doing the development of the Kickstarter offerings?

Our team is doing the development. A number are already complete.

 

[Seregil]

I assume non-backers will be able to purchase the products?

Oh, definitely.

 

[Seregil]

Oh, definitely.

For some reason, I read that with this voice:

Ok, that was so wrong, Seregil. Now that voice pops in my head whenever I'm reading Liz's posts....

That's great news and it will greatly increase the usefulness and appeal of RW. Now, I know that it's probably just a dream, but it would be wonderful if a similar deal could be struck with WotC as well...

So, here's some questions..
How will pricing of the digital modules be?
Will we be able to extract maps (as images -- like we can from Pathfinder PDFs of modules), so that we can import them into D20Pro, Fantasy Grounds, Roll20? (I love how Paizo made the PDFs, that if you extract the maps, the DM stuff is an overlay, and doesn't show up on the extracts)..

I am looking forward to this.. I'm one of those people who do better with modules then trying to create my own...

Will PFS (PathFinder Society) modules also be available for digital acquisition?

 

[ibecker]

I'm holding out a faint hope that SJGames will sign on, so I don't have to add in all of the GURPS stuff myself...

Expect answers to the above questions and a great many more over the course of the Spotlight Series.

Excellent. Now that we're so close, can we get some dates? The next release? The start of the Spotlight Series?

I'll give you a little bit of an answer to this one, as I responded to this same question on the Paizo forums. Pathfinder Society modules are a part of the license, and something we plan to do some of. How many we support will likely depend on their popularity.
