Harebrained Schemes wants to add video game elements to your paper-and-pen RPGs

Harebrained Schemes is looking to further mix the worlds of tabletop and video gaming.

The developer of the Shadowrun Returns role-playing (video) game and the upcoming Golem Arcana physical-miniatures-meets-digital strategy game is prototyping some interesting new software. Traditionally, electronic devices aren’t needed for classic paper-and-pen RPGs like Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder (or the Shadowrun that Returns is based on, for that matter). But Harebrained may have ideas to change that, providing tools to help gamemasters and players run their campaigns and make their RPGs more video-game-y, too.
