Sovereign Stone Pathfinder Edition. Timeout Diversions erweitern den Horizont des vermutlich uninspiriertesten Rollenspiels seit der Entdeckung des 20-seitigen Würfels.
Ihr Aufguss von Sovereign Stone für das Pathfinder-Rollenspiel greift gegenwärtig anständig in den Crowdfunding-Topf.
Es handelt sich mal wieder um klassische Fantasy mit Elfen, Zwergen, Orks und ein paar vernachlässigbaren Eigenheiten. Von 1999 bis 2002 gab es im Zusammenhang mit Sovereign Stone ein Rollenspiel und drei Romane Margaret Weis und Tracy Hickman.
Bis zum 26. Mai 2013 sammelt nun die Posse um Larry Elmore und Tony Lee mithilfe von Kickstarter mindestens 10000 $. Zwischenzeitlich konnten sie schon mehr als 20000 $ an sich binden.
In Kombination mit Pathfinder kann man jetzt auch längst vergessene (und ziemlich überflüssige) Relikte aus der Vergangenheit wieder beleben.
Wann platzt diese Pathfinder-Blase eigentlich? Die Epigone bleibt weiterhin ein unverständlicher, aber beeindruckender Triumph der Mittelmäßigkeit. Rollenspieler stehen offenbar doch nicht auf Einfallsreichtum und Imaginationskraft. Ein Hoch auf die ollen Kamellen, die ohnehin jeder schon tausendfach kennt.
In diesem Leben werde ich es wohl nicht mehr verstehen. Was solls?! Viel Spaß damit.

Sovereign Stone and the continent of Loerem originated as the brainchild of the award-winning, iconic fantasy artist, Larry Elmore. Margaret Weis & Tracy Hickman (of Dragonlance fame) recounted its gripping conflict in a best-selling novel trilogy from HarperCollins, while a collection of sourcebooks further refined and detailed the setting.
Beyond the arc that took us from the explosive destruction of Old Vinnengael to the final showdown with Dagnarus, the Prince of Void, Mr. Elmore still had plenty more stories to tell: about the dragon-hunting bahks, the wandering monks who record history as tattoos on their bodies, the magical Portals, the aftermath of the Vrykyl War… everything!
With your help, we can both introduce an amazing world to those who have yet to experience its rich past, and discover the future of Sovereign Stone together.
Timeout Diversions intends to achieve the former by marrying the property to the Pathfinder® game system under Paizo Publishing’s Pathfinder® Compatibility License. As the most popular RPG worldwide, Pathfinder® boasts legions of players for us to acquaint them with all that is unique about Loerem and Sovereign Stone, from distinctive races such as seafaring orks, nomadic dwarves, feudal Japan-like elves, pint-sized pecwae and their human barbarian Trevinici protectors, to a whole new interpretation of magic and spellcasting specific to the setting, yet with familiar Pathfinder® mechanics. Additionally, we plan to present innovative options, including Destiny Points that reward personal accomplishments and cooperative roleplaying. Your pledge will enable us to not only revive Sovereign Stone, but create new enthusiasts for the setting.
You also have everything to do with the latter. Given your help, we can continue to explore Loerem with new, engaging storylines from Mr. Elmore, whose storytelling has regaled friends and fans at conventions throughout the world. What will become of the Sovereign Stone and those destined to inherit its power (who could very well by YOUR character in a campaign)? What new forces will rise, and what alliances will perish? What mysteries and wonders await daring adventurers in the uncharted land opposite Loerem? Your pledge will open the door to infinite intrigues.“
