@rorie: Awesome. Do you know what this is going to do to the Pathfinder MMO? Or does Obsidian only have the rights to make games based on the Pathfinder card game?
The Pathfinder card game is pretty awesome. It's played a bit like a tabletop RPG, rather than Magic or Hearthstone.
You select your character class, have abilities and items, and roll dice to resolve combat. You pick a quest card which lists the objective and locations for the quest, you then place the location cards, and locations which you populate with the appropriate cards - monsters, loot, random encounters, etc. Objectives are shuffled into those decks. On your turn, you move to a location and draw a card from that location hoping to get the objective. Or maybe you want loot. Or need to grind mobs to level up. If you're unable to complete the objective, it gets shuffled into a different location.
Every die roll is a bit like a saving throw. If a monster hits for 20 damage, and your armor soaks up 15, then you need to roll a 5+ or lose combat. (If I remember right, I haven't played in a bit.)
It's a fun card game, but the setup takes a bit of time. Once you're done playing, you have to put cards back in their right pile. You have to remove expansion cards from the master deck. Having all that automated would be awesome. The base game is the first act of the campaign and additional campaigns are additional purchases. So, the in app purchase/DLC thing is already covered.
