project eternity-pen and paper?

[redneckdevil]

Ok, can anyone refresh me on this? I seem to recall something along the lines of an actual pen and paper version as well along with actual game. Am I just crazy or did they say something else?

[C2B]

*Maybe* after IIRC.

I'd imagine it'll take a fair bit of tweaking to turn it into a turn-based PnP game. Stuff that's easy for a computer can turn laborious in person.

[redneckdevil]

but they did at one point say they was thinking of making a pen and paper model if the game did well though?

I don't know if that's wishful thinking but that sounds cool.

[redneckdevil]

Ya I think they said something about pen and paper, but I cant really recall what though. Does anyone know what or if they said about a pe pen and paper?

Personally, I haven't heard such a thing about PE, but they did that with Dragon Age: Origins. I believe it was not unsuccessful.

Is't their whole design philosophy is about making a system which would work best in a video game, without PnP quote limitations unquote?

I believe they hinted that they might do something like that after the game had shipped.

I'm not really sure why the limitations are quote-unquote limitations, rather than actual limitations. You wouldn't make a real-time PnP game, but you can easily make a real-time cRPG. 'Nuff said.

 

A PnP ruleset for P:E could be pretty cool, but I'm sure they wouldn't dedicate time to that until after P:E is finished.

Thought I'd link this interview as its semi-related:

They go off for a while about other things they could do with the PE IP.

 

For those who don't want to read the entire article, here is the related snippet:

 

" I would still love to make Fallout: New Vegas 2, or whatever. Or even take Eternity at some point and have Eternity the [infinity Engine] games and then Eternity the big open-world CRPG. I think that would be really cool.

 

Nothing stops us from being able to do those two different things (Note: the two things in question are large games and smaller kickstarter projects). It’s going to make us look at Eternity as a brand. What else can we do with it? I want to hook up with the Pathfinder guys and see about doing a Pathfinder Eternity world book thing. It sounds a little weird, but… A card game. A board game. I've already been chatting with Cryptozoic Entertainment. We have nothing going on specifically, but they have a lot of experience in board games and card games"

FONV 2 would be amazing. But anyhow.

 

I would certainly run something in the PE world, just set before guns were introduced.
