Josh Sawyer's Pillars of Eternity Tabletop RPG

[hivemind]

daily reminder that pnp rpgs should 100% be narrativist in system design and autistic spreadsheet combat "simulationism" belongs solely in video games

also the char sheet looks like some weird burning wheel mock up

Is anyone actually going to play this PnP?

Is anyone actually going to play this PnP?

Who plays pnp games besides the big ones ?
I mean, actually play them, not oneshot them for the sake of it or during some event.

That man has too much free time on his hands

That man has too much free time on his hands

I guess because his job now appears to be 'randomly give suggestions (that will probably be ignored) to people actually working on games'.

Pillars tabletop experience is to provide food for thought for poeIII team.

Josh has likely worked more hours in his life than most of you cucks combined. He deserves a breather – lay off the Stakhanovite pipe.

 

[Ziggy]

the end goal of any self-respecting game designer should be to get paid to play tabletop at work. good on him

I kinda feel bad for Sawyer spending so much time on this TTRPG when basically nobody is going to play it.

 

[InD_ImaginE]

He seems to be having fun though.

He is paid for having a fun working experience. Even if it didn't sell he can always comeback designing CRPG later, he is a big name after all.

Burnout is a thing after all.

 

[Infinitron]

Yep pretty clear it's a hobby project for him.

[Elephantman]

He should have been making enemy AI scripts that are not retarded.

Yes, even the stained glass window in the entryhall shows the old artwork for Baldurs Gate: The Black Hound.
