Once a D&D studio, Obsidian secures license to make digital Pathfinder games

One of the masters of role-playing video games is partnering up with the geniuses responsible for an award-winning pen-and-paper role-playing game and card game.

Obsidian Entertainment, the studio that made Fallout: New Vegas and South Park: The Stick of Truth, has landed a licensing partnership to make games based on the Pathfinder pen-and-paper fantasy RPG series. In an agreement with publisher Paizo Inc., Obsidian will first release an adaptation of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game for tablets. It will feature up to four-player cooperative play where each gamer can take on the role of fighter, rogue, wizard, or cleric.
