About the adventure
šŗļø Explore and tame the dangerous wilds āļø Best bandits, fey, trolls, rival rulers and more š° Build your kingdom š Become a legend Have you ever wanted to rule your own nation? Do you think things would just be better if you/your friends were in charge? Do you want to trailblaze through a frontier wilderness, kick bandit/monster ass, and found a kingdom that'll be the stuff of legends? If you said yes to any/all of the above, then friend, this is the game for you. Kingmaker is an epic, 1-20 campaign that has it all: political intrigue, exploration, supernatural threats, and a mysterious entity pulling the strings behind the scenes. Then, there's the kingdom building. Relatively early in the campaign, you and your group are given leave to explore the Stolen Lands, a frontier wilderness teeming with monsters and bandits for you to explore, tame, and eventually settle. You'll pick a spot to establish your first settlement, and from there (and your own decisions), your kingdom will grow and flourish. Or flounder and fall into ruin. You get to pick everything from the nation's name, way it's ruled (kingdom? queendom? a democracy?) to how you deal with your neighbors, how and when you go to war, and the ways your kingdom specializes (magical research? espionage? military might? exploration?). It isn't a game of Civilization in your ttrpg, but rest assured you will be calling the shots here, to the degree you and your group wants to. Your nation will be what you make it. So, what will you do? Become rulers that history remembers for ages to come? Or would-be upstarts relegated to the footnotes of history like so many before you? Let's play and find out.

About me
I've been playing RPGs for 20+ years, the vast majority of that behind the GM screen. Fantasy is my bread and butter, with a focus on Pathfinder 2e. I like both long-running campaigns and shorter, more focused roleplaying experiences, and I have taught a lot of folks how to play. I'm a fan of bringing new people into the hobby just as much as I enjoy playing with veterans who've been slinging dice for a while.
View Profile āCharacter creation
Creating your character
Character creation will happen during session 0. You can create your character directly within Foundry or use a service like Pathbuilder to plot it out and import in. Uncommon options are okay with a heads up to me. Rare options will require prior discussion and GM approval.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
A mic is required and a webcam is strongly encouraged. Players will need a Discord account and an account on Forge (which they will be prompted to make when joining the game).
What Zach brings to the table
I provide the adventure via Foundry VTT, as well as a Discord server for us all to hang out in and chat between sessions. During sessions, we'll be in a video call through Discord. Foundry has an excellent soundtrack already in place to score your adventures through the Stolen Lands, and I'll bring the NPCs to life with my own vocal flourishes.

How Zach creates a safe table
We will go over safety tools during session 0, including a link to the Lines and Veils document. Session 0 will also cover character creation, table rules, and general bookkeeping items before we get into creating characters.
