Digital Adaptation
Before Gen Con Indy 2014, Paizo announced that videogame developer Obsidian Entertainment would create a tablet game based on the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. Both companies demonstrated a prototype at their Gen Con booths.[5] Obsidian is developing the game for iPad and Android tablets, and incorporating pass-and-play multiplayer and permanent character death options. The game includes unique cards and card layouts,[6] uses card artwork as location backdrops, includes maps to illustrate location cards, and tracks the number of cards played by type.[7]
There is an active forum community for the game on Obsidian's site, including discussions with both players and developers of the game. Information about the digital version of the game is available on the wiki with a dedicated portal to the digtal version information here.
