About the adventure
Play the legendary Kingmaker campaign using Pathfinder 2nd edition! We will be using the Kingdom rules with modifications that aim to make them more enjoyable, in addition to rules which integrate Battlecry's Skirmish system with Kingmaker's Warfare system, enabling you to wargame epic battles using Pathfinder 2e's combat system. I have also added a variety of lore-friendly content to the module which aims to situate the Stolen Lands and the River Kingdoms into the broader setting of Golarion, with an interest in the prehistoric inhabitants of the land and the Taldan imperial expansion. The module has been refocused on themes that are already present in Kingmaker, with an eye towards issues of political responsibility, anti-authoritarianism, and colonization. Custom companions have been added in order to help flesh out these themes. Many modules, such as Wrath of the Righteous, Iron Gods, and Carrion Crown also take place nearby and the outcomes of those modules will ripple out and affect your polity. Beginning in the year 4710, the Player Characters have received an invitation from Lady Jamandi Aldori of Restov, Brevoy to expel bandits from the Greenbelt, a heavily forested area of the Stolen Lands south of Brevoy, and settle the territory with your own government. Lady Jamandi is concerned about the stability of Brevoy after an important noble house opposed to the current king vanished, and is looking to establish a friendly corridor between Brevoy and Mivon, a state created by Aldori Swordlords who fled Brevoy many years ago. To this end, she insists that no one in your party have more authority than any other, or as she put it in her invitation letter, "In this land there will be no kings, only makers". While it is evident that your state will be a colonial extension of Restov for Lady Jamandi's political interests in Brevoy, it offers you an unparalleled amount of freedom and power. However, it begs the question, 'Why have the Stolen Lands remained unsettled by the powers of the region thus far?'

About me
I primarily run Pokemon Tabletop United and Pathfinder 2e, but I enjoy a wide variety of systems. I have run many game systems in the past, but have settled on these as my primary systems. For those interested, I have run multiple long campaigns of Dark Heresy, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Vampire: the Masquerade, and Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. I have a deep passion for Wraith: the Oblivion, and a great interest in running a game set during the Great War. I am interested in running a Shadows of Esteren game, and would be interested in being commissioned for a game too. For my day job, I am an English professor. I have a master's degree in Medieval Studies and have done research on the impact of roleplaying games on the cultural imaginary of the Middle Ages. While I prefer medievalist settings, I also love modern and science fiction settings! At the core of every roleplaying game is a human experience, and that translates across time and space. I accept commissioned games at 35 USD per player, and ask for a minimum 3 session commitment. Solo games can be commissioned at 75 USD per session. I am currently running 7 PTU: The Social Ecology of Kanto games; 1 No Kings, Only Makers: An Anti-Fascist Pathfinder 2e Game; and 1 The Conjunction of Stars and Minds: Pathfinder 2e Malevolence.

Creating your character
Character Creation will take place on Session 0, which is free. I prefer to create characters within Foundry, but I can also import sheets from Pathbuilder. If we import a sheet from Pathbuilder, it may not have certain desired automatons or effects. You are welcome to select any Rare or Uncommon character creation options, provided that you can explain how they fit together in your character. You are encouraged to fill out a questionnaire for your character to help anchor your character within the themes of the setting: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tt-6_Upi1VllmLGV07u68ZFSVQEYGSn_Kk26c4aLvUc/edit?usp=sharing Characters will receive the benefits of the following Character Creation Variant Rules from the GM Core: Ancestry Paragon Free Archetype Gradual Ability Boost

What Jordan brings to the table
Paizo's Kingmaker module for Foundry VTT A pre-written quest log to help you keep track of your quests with minimal input required. A variety of new NPCs, content, and maps made by myself. Maps made by a variety of third-party creators. I primarily run games Rules as Written, but exceptions should be made for Rule of Cool. PF2e works well RAW, but it also provides guidelines for improvising that should be used.
Homebrew rules
We will be using a variety of common modifications to Kingmaker, including modifications that integrate Battlecry's Skirmish system with Kingmaker's Warfare system: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YM3At0_vNJd-pS5Xgt32o2EKIBSNRjj9Tbj_kbP99aU/edit?usp=sharing The following are my general house rules for Pathfinder 2e: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f1M691SrQWVe2mukub7ldqXwKZr4PRSsqMFJ2XAj5e0/edit?usp=sharing
