    Kingmaker Session 01

    In which a rumormonger comes to town, and Kaylen fights a force that can’t be slain by a sword. Grigori is (rightfully) famed as one of Kingmaker’s more memorable encounters!

    System Matters:

    Interested in what’s happening with the system you’re listening to? (If not, stop reading now).

    This is a Pathfinder Adventure Path, run with 3.5 rules (because those are the rulebooks we have, primarily, as opposed to anything being particularly wrong with Pathfinder). For little homebrew changes, we’re using:

    Relationship Points – borrowed and adapted from the Jade Regent adventure path. Kaylen gains special abilities based on the relationships with his fellow PCs for every 10 points of relationship he gets. Relationship points are gained at 1 per level, by Diplomacy checks against the PCs, and by fulfilling special conditions in each adventure that the PCs want.
    Hero Points – We prefer death to be harder to come by in a DnD game, and particularly a solo game. Hero Points can be used for re-rolls and automatically dropping to Dying instead of Dead when reduced to negative HP. Specifically, we use Harrow (fantasy Tarot) cards as the points, with extra bonuses if Kaylen draws the card most suited to him (The Trumpet), cards of the Constitution suit, or cards relevant to the situation he is facing (like The Sickness when making a save vs disease).
    House Rules – there’s a wide variety of different little house rules, additional feats, and other changes added in here. Most prominently here, you’ll hear used Fighters gaining Mastery of Styles, enabling them to change their Fighter bonus feats daily with an hour’s retraining, and Staunch Defender, a +1 save bonus given at every odd Fighter level and also retrainable.
    Extraordinary Heroes – Kaylen and his PC buddies (because of their low party numbers) are considered to be Extraordinary Heroes. They receive an additional 1 HP and 1 skill point every level, helping to make them a bit more generally competent. Kaylen himself is a high (32) point buy character. Extraordinary Heroes are allowed saves every round against certain effects at the GM’s call, mostly things like Paralysis or Dominate Person which wreck encounter balance in a 2 man party.
    Kingdom Building – The Kingdom of Stagthorn uses the Kingdom Rules from Kingmaker and Ultimate Campaign. Feel free to look them up online if you want all the details, but the short form is the Kingdom has it’s own character sheet, with 3 primary stats of Economy, Loyalty and Stability.

  • Kingmaker Session 00b

    Kingmaker Session 00b

    In which further details on the kingdom of Stagthorn are given, covering the various promises and arrangements the kingdom made, and the mechanics of the PCs. This doesn’t cover any detail you desperately need to know, so if you’d just like the actual play, feel free to skip ahead.

    Thanks to the Paizo forums for the ‘Venture Capital’ variant described here.

    Kingmaker Session 00a

    The River Kingdoms are a constantly shifting group of city-states, kingdoms, and fiefdoms, rising and falling through the machinations of would-be conquerors, wars, assassinations, games of politics, and dangerous monsters. South of Brevoy sit the Stolen Lands – stolen from what and when are a matter of debate – currently overrun by bandits and monsters. Brevoy seeks to aid in the establishment of new kingdoms, buffer states, run by anyone strong and clever enough to carve a kingdom out of the wilderness. Kaylen Thorne, the mercenary who would be king, believes he is that man. Herein lies his tale – of wilderness exploration, monsters, politics, romantic entanglements, ancient gods, and war. Heavy is the head that wears the crown…

    Starring:

    Helen as Kaylen Thorne, half-orc Fighter / Knight of Thorns
    Jared as GM / Tristain Thorne (human bard) / Korwin Steelriver (dwarf cleric of Pharasma) / Bryn (half-elf monk) / Michaela Morag (Mysterious Rogue/Cleric)

    Special Notes: This is a solo game – one GM, one player. To help our lead character, Kaylen, out, he gets a rotating cast of four main (DM)PCs as his party. To save us a lot of headaches and paperwork, only one of them goes adventuring with him at a time, run by the GM. Kaylen selects a party member, who travels with him and grants him access to their abilities (effectively making it a 2-member party). Because of the lack of players, a wide variety of encounters in Kingmaker have been altered to make their CRs and challenge levels different.

    We begin recording a few sessions into Book 2, and Session Zero is a short recap of what came previously.

    Special Thanks To:

    Paizo, for an excellent Adventure Path, and the Paizo forums for several variations to improve it further.
