About the adventure
The land rush is on! Sent south by Brevoy, the heroes have the unenviable task of venturing into the infamous Stolen Lands and annexing the territory, facing down monsters, bandits, and worse. It's hard enough to conquer territory—but does a ragtag band of adventurers have what it takes to found and defend a burgeoning kingdom from the terrors of the wild? --- Campaign Duration I'm predicting that this adventure path in its entirety will take between 50-60 sessions to complete (Based on my previous Kingmaker games). Players must be able to commit to the game on a weekly basis for the duration of the campaign. I have run Kingmaker to completion in the past and this will be my second run-through. Where on Golarion? Kingmaker takes place in the Stolen Lands, an untamed expanse of wilderness located near the river kingdoms. For Combat & Sandbox Lovers Kingmaker is a crunchy, open world adventure where the dangers of the wilderness are always present. Players should expect a combat-heavy game filled dungeons and random encounters. While roleplay will be present and is encouraged between players, it will not be the dominant feature of this game. Experience Required Players must be able to build a level 1 character and have a basic understanding of the PF2E ruleset.

About me
Just an enjoyer of pretty much anything fantasy related. Avid fan of anime, survival horror games and TTRPGs of all flavors. I got my start with TTRPGs back in high school and have been hooked ever since. My GMing style puts strong focus on both combat and roleplay. I put a strong focus on making my games a safe space where folks of all backgrounds can roleplay and enjoy themselves. (Banner done by sarahwidiart: https://vgen.co/sarahwidiart)
