'Seven Dragon Saga' Launches Kickstarter Campaign - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on March 12, 2015 @ 1:08 a.m. PDT

Seven Dragon Saga is a classically styled fantasy RPG based upon an original pen and paper role-playing system, revolving around the Empire of the Seven Dragons.

Eschewing traditional RPG tropes, Seven Dragon Saga provides the player with effective heroes right from the start, with TSI aiming to provide the next step in meaningful player experiences in the same way that SSI's ‘Gold Box’ titles did during the 1980s and 1990s. 

This is not a tale of farmers or aspiring novices learning how to swing a sword; Seven Dragon Saga is a tale about the use of power. Players will need to assemble a brave troupe of adventurers “touched by the winds of the chaos”. Known as the Touched, these brave adventurers will face the unknown, and embark on a quest to discover hidden truths and determine the fate of the Empire.

It is the Emperor’s role to proclaim.  

It is the Dragons’ role to command.  

It is the role of the Touched to act, without hesitation and without regret.

Self-funded for most of its development, Seven Dragon Saga has launched on Kickstarter today, looking for $450,000, to fund the final round of production. Backer rewards include special items such as DRM-free copies of Seven Dragon Saga, Code Wheels to assist players in solving puzzles in-game, Journals containing more info about the game world and copies of the pen 'n paper version of the game. 

The TSI team is comprised of veteran developers and alumni from Strategic Simulations Interactive (SSI) who worked on fantasy RPG classics including "Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Pool of Radiance", "AD&D Curse of the Azure Bonds" and "Wizards Crown."

"I look forward to the magical worlds TSI will create for us to play in once more!" - Richard Garriott, Co-founder, CEO, Creative Director - Portalarium

"I’m extremely excited to hear that the team is coming back together to bring all that old school goodness into the modern age beginning with Seven Dragon Saga." - Swen Vincke, CEO – Larian Studios

"SSI was the strongest PC game brand in my youth -- I could count on dozens of hours of enjoyment from every SSI game I played. As thrilled as I was in the late 1980s when I learned they were making Pool of Radiance, a real D&D CRPG, it's even more exciting now to hear about Seven Dragon Saga." - Kevin Saunders, Project Director, Torment: Tides of Numenera
