In short, you'll need a Baron, Councillor, General, High Priest, Magister, Marshal, Warden, and Treasurer, plus a Spymaster (Daen) and Grand Diplomat (Cyanne). There are a couple other positions, but these are the core ones without which success is going to be quite difficult. I'm using These Rules as the basis for the Kingdom Building part of the game.

Here's what I've got for us so far

Kaz: Baron
Lali: Marshal (I require a gold star badge)
Nah: Magister
Luthor: Treasurer

I think Valeriya would make an excellent Warden or Councillor, but ultimately that's their decision. I do have some NPC suggestions we can use, or we can look at our sponsors to help us recruit someone.

High Priest: With Kaz's strong connection to Erastil, plus Luthor's leaning towards the religion we probably want a worshiper of Erastil to fill this role. We can ask Kaz's old mentor, or we can go back to the temple in the city and have them send a priest with us.

General: We could offer Kesten the job, or seek an outsider.

Warden/Councillor: No idea here.

We could offer Akrios a job as part of his atonement, that's slightly dangerous imo, but if you guys are up for I'll go along with it.

We could also go to Luthor/Cyanne's old school and see if they have someone to recommend.

I'm going to be putting this game on hiatus, probably for a month, possibly for longer. My brother was killed by lightning while mountain-biking, and I doubt I'll be in any shape to post for a while. Feel free to discuss roles, but know that I won't be looking until I come back.


Ini +3; HP 35/35; AC 16 T 13 FF 13; Fort+6 Ref +7 Will+3; Perc +10

Aest, I am so, so sorry. Put us on hiatus for as long as you need. You are in my thoughts and prayers, and I'm always here if you need someone to talk to.

Oh no! Chris, I am so sorry to hear that. That is horrible news. All I can offer is virtual hugs. I am so sorry for your loss.

Aest, I know I am no longer in this game but as I do still lurk here I did want to say my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I did lose my sister a few years ago, and I know the pain never really goes away.

If you need someone to talk to feel free to drop me a PM OK?

I'm so sorry, Aest. Take all the time you need, okay? I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers.

Hi. I'm ready to do a little bit of discussion and try to get back into the swing of things. It'll be slow, but that's how it goes.

I'll be making the negotiations part of the game more clear. For now, you might just want to get a general idea of who your leadership positions could be, with the exception of Baron and ones you know PCs will want. Some of the different factions might want positions of power within your barony. Laliytsa's list looks pretty okay, as far as fleshing out ideas.

Luthor doesnt really "want" any position, but is willing to take any that need filling.


Inactive

Regarding High Priest, we've still got Jhod (sp?) hanging around right? He's a priest of Erastil if I remember correctly though asking Kaz's mentor to take the position would work as well :)

General: I'm good with Kesten if he wants the job.

Warden: I'd actually be in favor of having Akiros do this if we can convince him.

Councilor: Maybe Oleg or Svetlana? They'd be a good liaison between ourselves and the rest of the citizenry, especially if they also want to keep running the trading post. Of course Val should get first crack at this or Warden (or one of the other positions) if she wants it!


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Jhod is still around, yeah. He's at the temple where the party fought the bear.

I'm not sure what role Valeriya would want to take on in a kingdom, she's likely not even sure how long she wants to stay with the party at the current time.

Out of character, perhaps Councillor or Warden?

I'm in support of Lali's list. Worth noting is that Kaz's mentor was actually his grandmother, and he may not be keen on her making the trip. (I also need to do some backstory tweaks before we get back into the full action.) I'm also sure we can arrange a gold badge :P

I'm actually down with offering Akiros a position. It'd make for good RP if nothing else.


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Once you've got a list everyone can more-or-less agree on, I'll give a rough indicator of those NPCs' stats, that way you can make some final decisions. In the meantime, could each of you generate a 10-point buy for your page? Additionally, you'll each be gaining the Squire feat for free, except for that the class/leveling of your pages are determined by me, they're young characters at the moment, and I'll be determining when it becomes Leadership, not the rules. New Gameplay post incoming in the next 30 minutes or so.

I think that aside from maybe Valeriya choosing something, everyone seems good with the list Lali made. From an OOC perspective, Val could pick a role and it can RPed as her taking it temporarily until she decides whether to stay with the party permanently or until we can find someone else to do it. Seems like the easiest way to do it and still maintain some verisimilitude.

And regarding our pages, I've got two questions: do we need to apply any templates to them, like the young template? And since I'm assuming they're all human, do they also get the racial +2 to any one stat?

Orrel the Page (Subject to Change):

Str = 13
Dex = 10
Con = 13
Int = 12
Wis = 10
Cha = 12

No templates or +2 racial bonuses added as of right now. Str, Con, Int, and Cha got bumps based on the short description given of him.


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

I'll take care of templates, you can assign the +2 as you see fit.


Female Human (Taldan) Cleric(Herald Caller of Abadar) 4 | HP: 35/35 | AC: 16 / T: 10 / FF: 16 | Fort: +6, Ref: +1, Will: +7(+8 against mind-affecting) | Melee: +5, Ranged: +3 | CMB: +5, CMD: 15 | Init: +0, Perception: +11, Sense Motive: +10 | Channel 5/5 | Agile Feet 6/6

I think Councillor might be the best role for Valeriya. If nothing else my CHA and WIS are pretty good, and she'd be more than happy to foster peace in any way she can.

Bethanne the Page/Acolyte:

Str = 10
Dex = 13
Con = 12
Int = 16 (with +2 racial)
Wis = 12
Cha = 8

Considering that Bethanne seems shy I figure low CHA high INT makes sense.

Hey guys, just a heads up, I'll be slow on posting for a few days. I had an unexpected gallbladder removal last week and I'm still pretty hopped up on painkillers.

Hope you're going well, Lali. Enjoy the pain meds!


Inactive

Eek, hang in there Lali! Feel better soon :)


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Let me know where you'd like the +2, Nah. Also, the feat says that the cohort has to take certain classes. I'm lifting that requirement, so if you'd prefer something less martial, let the stats show it or say something.

EDIT: Also, get better soon, Lali!


Inactive

Will do, GM. I've been a bit busy with weird work hours as well as with nearly all of my games suddenly exploding with activity but I'll try and get Orrel's stuff finalized (including giving what 'class' he might be some additional thought) soon!


Female Human (Taldan) Cleric(Herald Caller of Abadar) 4 | HP: 35/35 | AC: 16 / T: 10 / FF: 16 | Fort: +6, Ref: +1, Will: +7(+8 against mind-affecting) | Melee: +5, Ranged: +3 | CMB: +5, CMD: 15 | Init: +0, Perception: +11, Sense Motive: +10 | Channel 5/5 | Agile Feet 6/6

Get well soon Lali, sneak-attack gallbladder removal hardly sounds ideal.

Is there any other kind of gallbladder trouble? Ive been through it, had an inflamed gallbladder with a gallstone like a third the size of the bladder itself!


Ini +3; HP 35/35; AC 16 T 13 FF 13; Fort+6 Ref +7 Will+3; Perc +10

Luthor you have my eternal sympathy.

Stats for Tiphane:

Str = 10
Dex = 14
Sta = 10
Int = 12
Wis = 14
Cha = 14

Figured the streets will have taught her to be quick and that she's got the charisma to back up the sass xD

Right back at ya Lali.

Gotta say though, most "interesting" aspect of the surgery was the wait, where I was introduced to the world of suppositories. I mean, its not really that bad, but that first one, I Just looked at the nurse and she was all like: Yep.


Inactive

Orrel the Page:

You know what? Let's add that +2 to Intelligence. It might seem a little strange, but I actually kinda think it would be neat for Orrel to be/become an investigator on down the line. Thoughts?


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Do you guys want to visit Cyanne and Daen, even if I end up playing them, before the negotiations with the Great Houses?


Inactive

I would like that, but only if you feel up to doing so :)


Ini +3; HP 35/35; AC 16 T 13 FF 13; Fort+6 Ref +7 Will+3; Perc +10

Same, I'd like to go visit. :)

I still have to update Wild's info now that he's an official animal companion, I'll try to get that done asap

Me an Luthor both agree that a visit is in order.

Well I'm happy to go with whatever since I'm new.

Vasek the page:

Strength: 13
Dexterity: 12
Constitution: 10
Intelligence: 12
Wisdom: 10
Charisma: 15

He seems like a confident kid, and probably smarter than the country bumpkin. He'd certainly know more about courtly ways than ol' Kaz, too.

It looks like a visit is the general consensus!


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Awesome. I'm working on a post, but it's difficult, because I can only imagine Cyanne would communicate via song.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

Aest, if you want I can try to get a post together this weekend. I got swamped with PBP Gameday VI...

The very least I can do is put together a filk for you.

Hmm


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

That'd be great. If you can't come up with something, you could PM me whatever you have and I'll work from there.


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Sorry about the lack of posting. I've been having a rough week, and this weekend I'm flying to Detroit for my grandpa's memorial service thingie. He died in July, but we're doing it now for some reason. I'll be back after.


Inactive

Hey guys, I know this is sorta-crappy timing on this but I think I'm going to step away from this game for awhile. The main reason is that work has been busy and my schedule is all over the place due to being short-staffed and it's making it harder to keep up the energy to post for all my games. A secondary reason is that I've found myself taking more interest in Pathfinder Society games - playing in them but even more importantly, running them myself. Since GMing takes more effort I've been looking to cut my own player load a bit (and turning down long-term game invites) so I can focus more on my games that I'll be running.

It's been fun playing for the time that I've been here and hopefully writing Nah out/into the background for awhile won't be too difficult; she can act as an ambassador between the new kingdom and the Sootscales and I also imagine duties as Magister could keep her very busy. Thanks again for the invite to play and I hope things start looking up for everyone :)


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

I'm sorry to hear that. Good luck in your GMing! Checking in from Denver International Airport. Do we want to recruit another person, or power on with what we have?

Awh, good things come to an end all too soon dont they? But yeah, good luck wherever you go from here.

As for getting another, im ok with it, but I will say we are back to the intended party size with a well rounded character selection, so its not really "needed"

Id suggest only getting a fifth if one of us knows someone looking for a game.

No worries about the lack of posting Aest, I've been busy at a convention the past few days so I was glad to have less to worry about.

Sorry to hear you'll be going Nah, I've only been here a while but you've been really fun to play with. Good luck in your future gaming.

I'll leave the choice of getting another to you guys, I've got no strong views on the matter.

Sorry that you're leaving Nah but Real Life always has to come first. If things calm down I hope you'll consider coming back :)

I'm open to getting a fifth, but only if somebody has someone in mind for the spot. Otherwise I'm perfectly happy going forward with the four of us.


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Alright, thanks for being patient with me. Hopefully, no one else dies in my family for a few months so I can maybe get a rhythm going. Post coming up here shortly.

Things happen, mate. Some much worse than others. Hopefully your family can stay tragedy-free for a long time now.

Sorry to see you go, Nah! Wish you all the best, and I'll see you in our other games :P

I don't have anyone in mind for a fifth - no-one solid, anyway.


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Okay, there's a post. If Cyanne's around, she has the notes I sent her several months ago. If not, I'll go ahead with the scene Saturday evening or Sunday and try to get a rhythm going from there.

*pokes Cyanne with (very long) stick*


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

I'll take over tonight. I've sort of been dreading trying to be Cyanne, but I'll make it work.


The Once and Future Kingmaker Battle Maps, Kingmaker: Svetlana's Tale Battle Maps

Hi, all. I'm really frustrated with myself. I've been pretty down for the last bit and this game's taking more and more effort to keep focused on. I'm not sure what to do about that, and I do apologize for the slow pace.
