Goblinworks Announces the Pathfinder Online Technology Demo Kickstarter Project

Thornkeep RPG book by Rich Baker is part of the Kickstarter

Goblinworks Inc. is proud to announce our first Kickstarter project for the Pathfinder Online MMORPG. The Pathfinder Online Technology Demo Kickstarter will help Goblinworks finance the creation of a Technology Demo that we can use to show investors what Pathfinder Online will look like. Successful funding of this Kickstarter will also demonstrate the community’s desire and excitement for Pathfinder Online.

In addition to an exclusive long video of the Technology Demo, the main reward for the Kickstarter Project is a 64-page book called Thornkeep. The first 32 pages comprise a Pathfinder Roleplaying Game sourcebook for Thornkeep, one of the three starting locations in the Pathfinder Online MMO. This section is written by veteran RPG designer Rich Baker. The second 32 pages are written by the Goblinworks staff and will provide readers with a behind-the-scenes look at the making of Pathfinder Online.

There are a variety of rewards available to backers who pledge from $5 to $5,000, ensuring that there is a reward level suitable for any pocketbook.

“With the recent success of Kickstarters funding several computer game projects, our team felt that it was the ideal medium to provide funding for our Pathfinder Online Technology Demo,” said Goblinworks CEO Ryan S. Dancey. “Through the success of this Kickstarter, we will be able to prove to the world that there is a pent-up demand for a fantasy sandbox MMO set in the Pathfinder world of Golarion. Our community is our strongest asset, and we plan to show the world just how great the Pathfinder community really is.”

The Pathfinder Online Technology Demo Kickstarter will run for 30 days, from May 9 to June 8, 2012.

New Games From R&R Coming Soon

Double Take

$ 19.95 SRP

Double Take is a charades game built for two, so to speak. Each round, time willing, two players will present clues for a half-dozen familiar phrases that all have something in common. A sample category, for example, is “Something’s Wrong” with the words to be guessed being divided as:

Play | Foul
In the Closet | Skeleton
Sheep | Black
Gun | Smoking

Each clue giver acts out one side of the card, and since they’re facing the guessers, the phrases will be acted out in left-to-right fashion (“Black Sheep”, “Smoking Gun”, etc.) If someone guesses one side of the card, that player scores – but the clue givers score only after both sides of a phrase have been guessed, so they need to work together – but separately – to make their clues clear.

Pass-Ackwords

$ 19.95 SRP

The word is … PASS-ACKWORDS! Each round there is a secret word with a list of clues to help figure it out. On your turn, you announce the worst clue possible off the list to try to disguise the secret word from your opponents. Trouble is, you want YOUR teammate to guess correctly! Each turn, your list of possible clues shrinks while the hints get better and better. First team to guess the word wins the round!

Pluckin Pairs

$ 19.95 SRP

Who will pluck the most popular pairs? Each player gets 60 seconds to pair up 11 images at the same time. 5 pairs and one bad apple! Players gain points by matching the most other players with the same pairs. Test your powers of prediction with this fun family game!

Historical: Liberation of Terra I

$ 34.99 SRP

The Beginning of the End In 2766, decades of careful planning and manipulation finally culminated when Stefan Amaris wiped out the entire Cameron dynasty in a bloody coup. Rallying the might of the SLDF behind him, General Aleksander Kerensky immediately attacked Amaris’ Rim Worlds Republic, before turning his full fury against the Usurper’s “Empire,” launching one of the greatest military campaigns in Inner Sphere history. Historical: Liberation of Terra, Volume 1 describes the early years of the civil war that would ultimately bring about the final end of the first Star League. Covering the fighting from the coup itself to the bloody campaign for the Terran Hegemony, this book provides a hard look at the closing years of the Star League Era, and the fateful decisions that would eventually pave the way for centuries of Succession Wars to come.

And the hits just keep on coming! The party descends into the second level of the dungeon. More strange creatures await, and the mystery of the doors grows.

What the audio doesn’t convey, unfortunately, is how everyone’s eyes light up when they get to roll a big handful of ten-sided dice. And though difficult to explain, the Silvervine combat system is very intuitive once things get rolling.
