Pillars of Eternity Just Got a Major Upgrade and RPG Fans Are Freaking Out

Josh Sawyer, a veteran game designer known for his work on the Pillars of Eternity series, has just dropped some exciting news that is sending shockwaves through the RPG community. It appears that Sawyer has been secretly working on a rework of the Pillars of Eternity pen-and-paper tabletop role-playing game (TRPG), and he has finally shared some sneak peeks of what fans can expect.

The screenshots, which were posted on Sawyer's social media account, show a dramatically revamped game system, with new character classes, abilities, and gameplay mechanics. The screenshots also appear to show a new, more streamlined ruleset, which should make the game more accessible to new players.

While Sawyer has not officially announced the project, the screenshots have sparked widespread excitement among fans of the Pillars of Eternity series. Many are speculating that the rework could be a sign of a larger effort to revitalize the franchise, which has been dormant since the release of Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire in 2018.

The Pillars of Eternity series is known for its deep storytelling, engaging characters, and challenging gameplay, and a rework of the TRPG could potentially bring the franchise to a whole new audience. The TRPG, which was first released in 2015, allows players to create their own characters and embark on custom adventures set in the world of Eora, which is the same setting as the video game series.

As news of the rework spreads, fans are eagerly awaiting more information about the project. Sawyer has not confirmed a release date or any other details, but the screenshots have given fans a glimpse of what could be on the horizon. With its rich lore and engaging gameplay, a rework of the Pillars of Eternity TRPG could be just what the franchise needs to attract new fans and reinvigorate the series.

For now, fans will have to wait and see what Sawyer and his team have in store. But one thing is certain: the RPG community is buzzing with excitement, and the potential for a Pillars of Eternity TRPG rework has given fans a lot to look forward to.
