In 2019, crowdfunding for the Kingmaker Adventure Path for the Pathfinder role-playing game was successfully completed. Just a few months later, a wide variety of characters were able to go into battle for the lost kingdom, and the campaign is scheduled to appear in a special format as early as next month.
Pathfinder Campaigns
Pathfinder is produced by Paizo Publishing and distributed by Ulisses Spiele in Germany. It is based on the Dungeons & Dragons-based Open Game License Edition 3.5 and was released in 2009. But Pathfinder Edition 2 is now breaking away from her root and so various aspects of the game have been given a new look.
A special feature of Pathfinder are the campaigns referred to as Adventure Paths. Each Adventure Path consists of a six-part series of adventures. These are linked by a story arc and a theme. In addition to the main adventure, each issue contains additional information about the background of the campaign and its monsters. Then there’s the Player’s Guide, which provides an overview without revealing too much about the adventure itself. Players will find tips and content to help them create characters for the campaign. Campaign and Pathfinder Player Guide products are often released with specific adventure paths to streamline related rules.
One of the most successful campaigns is the Kingmaker Adventure Path. We had you guys in 2019 about that crowdfunding reported and now the Paizo campaign will be relaunched in October.
Kingmaker Adventure Path
The Kingmaker Adventure Path presents a full-length campaign chronicling the rise of a new nation. A kingdom to be built and later ruled by the player characters. It’s about taking on bloodthirsty bandits, battling deadly and dangerous monsters, and withstanding mysterious threats as you fight to claim the Stolen Lands as your own. But is justice and mercy the right way to govern? Or will someone else come to fight the new king?
Kingmaker Adventure Path takes place mainly in the world of Golarion. In addition to humans, there are also a large number of other well-known fantasy peoples such as elves, dwarves, orcs and the like. Now the campaign returns in a massive new limited edition deluxe hardcover compilation, updated to the latest Pathfinder rules. Yet what awaits you?
- The original Kingmaker Adventure Path, expanded and updated to Pathfinder Second Edition.
- New content to expand the campaign to all levels from 1 to 20.
- Comprehensive rules for building and running kingdoms, settlements, and armies, as well as narrative rules for solving mass battles.
- Eleven new alchemical items and spells to discover.
- Sixteen new monsters, ranging from common but dangerous wild animals to powerful supernatural menaces that will challenge even the mightiest of heroes.
