The feels when Nathan sings one of the Goblin songs, from memory I might add... 10/10 will work on Pathfinder Adventures again.
At the risk of being a total downer... does it concern anyone that this releasing may be the death of the physical card game? It's shaping up to look like this is the superior version of the game in every way and if it delivers, I can see Mask of the Mummy being the physical game's last AP. Part of me is disturbed by the idea but the other half would be happy to convert. As I write this I'm sitting in a room lined with games from the modern consoles running back to the Atari, so I definitely can't say I wouldn't get behind a video game version.I really don't see that happening. The digital release may be more convenient for solo play, but that's about it, even with new features. Board games lovers like the physical feel of their games, even if that means sorting their cards themselves. Websites like boardgamearena offer free online multiplayer board games for years, with little if no consequence in term of market. Hey hey! I work here at Obsidian on Pathfinder, I just don't have them cool tags that Nathan has. Anyway, I don't think this will affect the physical game in anything other than a positive way. Our tablet version has quite a few cool things going for it, being a digital version. You don't have to shuffle, fast setup and break new, tons of new content, etc. However this doesn't replace the physical version at all. Solo players may prefer the digital version for ease of use. But when your gaming group gets together the physical game is going to hit the table. In my opinion you just cannot replace a good physical gaming session. Sure you can use pass and play and pass around a tablet. But I think the physical game is going to win out. There is a charm and a bit of magic to holding your cards and rolling your dice. Before I started here at Obsidian I was a HUGE PACG fan and a huge board game fan in general I think I own somewhere around 300+ board games and I used to go to my local shop weekly. From what I have seen, board games coming to a digital form has been a good thing and a boon to the hobby. We had people come into our local store and ask about Sentinels of the Multiverse or Catan after they played it digitally. That way they could have a physical copy to play with their friends and family. TLDR: I wouldn't worry. I think this is going to do good things and raise awareness and interest for the physical hobby that we all so love. :)
As someone who works on the Digital Version of Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. This is going to be well worth the wait. ;) Bias aside of course! |
