Running Pathfinder games is about to get a lot easier, as Pathfinder content goes digital in a way never seen before. Lone Wolf Development and Paizo have teamed up to establish a new digital standard by delivering Pathfinder content through Realm Works, the ENnie award-winning campaign suite.

This new partnership will make the entire Pathfinder portfolio available through the upcoming Realm Works Content Market. Pathfinder modules, Adventure Paths, campaign settings, player companions, and rulebooks alike can soon be used in ways GMs have only dreamed of. The Content Market will debut in early 2016 with some of your favorite Pathfinder Adventure Paths and modules, after which we’ll begin introducing rules and setting material.

So Why Should You Care?
What sets Realm Works apart from PDFs, Wikis, and other options? Consider just a few ways Realm Works takes digital content to a whole new level:
  • Make It Yours – formerly static, published content is now fully customizable, so there’s no need for stickies or maintaining separate notes
  • Integrates with Your World – seamlessly weave published content into your own campaign, with everything in one convenient place
  • Instantly Find Anything – readily explore your realm through extensive links and relationships, full-text searching, and tag-based filtering
  • Navigate with Maps – simply click on map pins to view the details of a location, or quickly navigate to the map containing a specific place
  • Ready to Share with Players – no more extracting pictures from a PDF, masking out portions of maps, or repeating details multiple times while players take copious notes; reveal details with a few mouse clicks during the game and even let players access material in-between sessions
  • Know What’s Known – track what information the players have (and haven’t) learned with ease, including explored map regions
  • Organized for GMs – efficiently access everything needed to run an adventure; Realm Works does all the heavy lifting, converting a traditional module to content that can be readily used at the table
  • Instant Session Recaps – review a complete rundown of what the players learned in previous sessions
With Realm Works, your entire world is literally just a few clicks away.

The Next Step
In a few short weeks, we’ll be launching our “Realm Works Spotlight Series.” This weekly update will outline our Content Market release plans, showcase Pathfinder and other products in Realm Works, and preview key Realm Works features.

See for yourself what the future holds, and sign-up for the Spotlight Series today! In the meantime, you can discover why thousands of GMs rely on Realm Works. Watch our Virtual Tour and get a taste of what Realm Works can already do for your games!

Cool!

Stupid question: from whom will I buy the content? From Paizo or from Wolf Lair?

I need to know so I can get Gift certificates for the correct company.

Thanks!

"Make It Yours – formerly static, published content is now fully customizable, so there’s no need for stickies or maintaining separate notes"

If I install a module, duplicate an NPC to use as a template (because RW is here to here to do the heavy lifting), change the name, stats, equipment and description, and save as a new NPC, is that new NPC truly mine to upload to the Market or give to a friend or is that NPC poisoned due to being templated from a commercial product?

Thanks in advance for the answer. This is a crucial question which will drive my purchases and probably those of anyone creating their own world. Does making it our own truly make it our own?

Questions like this are some of the topics we'll cover in the Spotlight Series.

I think that answers the question. They are poisoned and unusable by anyone without the original source. Purchased material cannot be used as templates. Thank you.

INCORRECT! It means there are caveats that require explanation, so it's not a simple yes or no answer. Please don't jump to absolute assumptions when we've already said you'll be getting your answers shortly. Thanks!

Firstly, congrats to LWD on convincing Paizo to come on board...

Lets all hope this partnership is not short lived.

Since Paizo is not likely to wait 3 years for LWD to make good on deliverables.

As MNB points out, hopefully this will further the stability of RW.
