Pathfinder Content: e.g. Rise of the Runelords

Hi Together,

I know realm-works from a player perspective and certainly do enjoy it. In near future, I'd like to game-master a new pathfinder campaign.

And I'd like to use realm-works as well.

However, due to my job and my newborn, I've not the time to prepare the content. It's a huge effort to create the database of an adventure path like "Rise of the Runelords". It would take me days, which I simply do not have.

My questions:

Can I buy the Rise of the Runelord content for realm-works?
If not, are there any other pathfinder adventure paths for realm-works which I can use/buy?

Any help is appreciated, I'd really like to use realm-works as a helper but not able to prepare the content.

Thanks and regards from Austria,
Roland
 
Well... it kind of depends on when you need it.
The team at LWD is preparing the content market at the moment and when it goes live, you will be able to buy Rise of the Runelords from there. As far as I know, it will come ready-to-play with everything you need to run your game.

At the moment we expect the release of the content market shortly after GenCon, which is at the end of this week.
But you should be aware that the release of the content market has been postponed several times in the last year (or even longer?). So if you need it right away, then sorry, nope. But if you can wait a few weeks longer, it should hopefully work out.

I wouldn't assume any of this.... While there was a "demo version of RotRL" LWD used Rob has said its that.. a demo... AND thee were several posts around this since the beginning of this year. It also depends on what they have agreed to with Paizo

As you have pointed out... and as posted in many other threads. anytime a convention was "coming up" it has been suggested that there would be a release... but not all of those "forecasts were supplied by LWD either.. some were just "Hope"....

See post below and follow it back for more details... Thanks to Parody for his post the link is tied to. Lastly, this was in May 2017 when posted as well

While I don't utilize pathfinder or RotRL, I am attending several Realm Works seminars at the gencon and will field the question for the community. As well as asking Eric Mona of Paizo when I see him there.

I wouldn't bet any penny on any "close" time frame that LWD posts about the Content Market.
I don't know if we will still have waves from the CM anyway. I'd expected the waves was just because they did not have the specific content completely entered and ready by the time but this shouldn't be the case anymore, at least not for the initial content planned, which noone except LWD knows what it would have been, well maybe LWD didn't know either.
 
Well I'm not going to waste any more energy on deliverable timing... no point in preaching to the choir.... but as the thread eludes above, Rob made mention that RotRL would potentially be in the 2nd wave of releases following the start of the content market, but that was then, things change...
 
RotRL should be in the second wave. The bulk of the recent delay was caused by getting the appropriate security in place for publisher's content to be safe, providing nothing goes horribly wrong you should see the Content Market shortly after Labor day and wave two won't be far behind. :)

Thanks for the good news! :) Realm works is definitely a fantastic tool and you are doing a great job.

Do you think that wave two is realistic this year (2017)?

Any idea which wave Giantslayer might fall into? As soon as it's available I plan to purchase a GM version and 5 player versions immediately after.
 
The Blight (Frog God Games) had Realm Works support, as a stretch goal.
The PDF has been released to backers, but the physical book hasn't shipped yet.

Any news on the Blight?
 
Hello there! Is there any news on the content market? As it was said it would (probably!) launch sometimes in the second half of August I'm eagerly hitting the "check for updates" button :D :D
 
You should probably ask Frog God Games, since it's their project.

Actually no, if it came with your kickstart to LWD, then it is up to LWD to provide it, not FGG. If you give money to GM for a car, you do not go to Goodyear and ask for the tires that were supposed to he on the vehicle.

LWD is responsible for living up their obligations.

I had to go back and look again, as The Blight was a Frog God Games project that was Kickstarted years after the Realm Works Kickstarter. You're right, though, it was also part of the RW Kickstarter in the day. My bad.

So we're back to "no new news until there's a Content Market". :/

This is one of the reasons I will never ever be a part of crowdfunding again. I was not a backer of RW, but I have been in crowdfunding.

To date, not a single one has produced the product I "invested" or "funded". Not a single one. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I also now do not buy anything that promises features I would otherwise pay for upfront. Deliver, then I will gladly buy. Ford did not promise me turbo power as an upgrade in the future, my truck came with it, and that's how I buy everything now, software or hardware. Electronic or otherwise.

Just been let down too many times, promises are simply failures waiting for a future date. Nothing more.
 
Was just looking at my Kickstarter backer history.

Canceled my pledges on 14 (several bullets dodged there)
Pledged for 39
1) Partial delivery then project terminated. (1)
2) Still in progress (4) - Realm Works being one of them.
3) Successful with all content delivered (34)
4) 1 Indegogo project - Still in progress but way overdue. Author still posts periodic updates.
 
I've had almost 100% success. One video game (sim ant remake) didn't fund. Everything else has been pretty damn good value.

I've donated to a couple hundred. Haven't done the math on them, but I'm still occasionally getting rewards from things from years ago. I know a few have tanked and many have delivered.

From my experiences I can say that it's safest to assume you won't ever get anything but if you do it'll be a year late.
