@Coreyllon I know you had said you hoped to select by the 2nd, is there a new selection date or deadline?
I asked the players to comment. I have had one do so. I am giving a bit more time for others to comment. I am sorry for the delay.
Got it. Thank you for the update!
Just chiming in. One thing we do need is someone who is interested in doing the work of running the Kingdom. This is not an attribute of a character, but rather an aspect of the player's level of engagement with the game.
King maker is a tough AP to run from all reports. It asks for much more than the usual low level of engagement required by most AP's. Kingmaker is work.
Though I have very little experience with Kingmaker I have used the stronghold builders guide in a 3.5 game pretty extensively and really enjoy that sort of spreadsheet mini game! It tends to be one of my favorite aspects of games that it is present in!
I wish to aplogize for the delay. It took a while to see what input people had.
After reviewing the input, we have decided to go with:
Albert Malek Garess
Leopold Surtova
Please feel free to introduce yourselves on the Discussion board and join in the kingdom building.
Thank you for everyone who applied. I appreciate your interest.
We are looking to recruit 1-2 new players for a Kingmaker campaign.
The group is currently level 4 and there is a Cavalier, a Magus, an Oracle, and a Sorcerer. They have just started book 2 and saved poor Tig.
Character creation rules are located Here. Let me know if you have any questions.
The players have indicated they are interested in a sneaky character or a utility character like a bard.
I hope to have the players picked by 2/22. If people need more time to get a submission in we will push it back to 2/29.

Hi, I'd like to express my interest.
Full disclosure, I was once a player in this same game (played Kazmuk, the dwarf cleric). When the original GM decided to leave, the game was so slow (like Andreas said, it took 6 years to go through book 1) and I was a bit overwhelmed in RL that I decided to also leave.
If that is ok, I'd like to rejoin since I'm migrating back to 1e from 2e.
Wow Mal! I remember way way back 9 months or so ago when you rescued this campaign, nice work!
Would love to join
Hello, I'm submitting Pulap Kaduk. You mentioned you wanted a support or a sneaky character. Well, a bard can embody both! With 1 dip in URogue for trapfinding and Weapon Finesse, this guy is candidate for the Spymaster position.
He contributes out of character with your standard sneaky stuff (sneak, perception, disable device...) and also with your classic bardic knowledge and versatile performer. In combat he is a buffer/debuffer, working towards Dazzling Display and some Slashing Grace.

Pulap Kaduk is the son of a couple who met on the road fleeing the slavery from Cheliax. The couple made a life as simple servants in Restov. They told their children to live simple lives with no big ambition, only happy to be free. Pulap acquired some fame as a comedian, but hearing so many stories about the heroism of the Aldori swordmasters made Pulap dream. He eventually stole a sword and tried to practice to no avail.
His friends made fun of him for trying to be a sword lord, but he continued practicing. He figured he wouldn't be able to master it by himself, but he didn't have the resources or the name to hire a teacher. He, then, decided to watch lessons in hiding, and try to apply what he learned by himself. In time, he learned to at least not hurt himself with the sword.
His parents weren't fond of Pulap trying to learn swordfighting. They tried to convince him to stop. He eventually managed to convince his parents that he would only find happiness by traveling, like they once did. And so he set out to go south, where a new barony was forming, and try his luck there...

I'd like to put the following characters for consideration:
Duzz "Li'l Lamb" is an unusual rogue in that he is very focused in dealing with animals. He is a tiefling (small, since he is descended from a halfling) with the sylvan trickster archetype. With his ram horns, cloven feet and wild curly hair, he managed to convince the fey he is some sort of "dwarf-satyr". He should be reasonably tanky, decent in combat and aside from the usual rogue abilities, I've gone wild with a combination of handle animal, wild empathy and speak with animals. He should provide great utility with scouting birds, and general animal craziness limited only to my creativity!

As an option, since you are perhaps looking for 2 players and I assume it isn't required that both of them are sneaky/bards, then we have Ursa Threestones. Ursa is a female dwarf that is a retired soldier turned into shepherd that raises bisons. She has some connection with the fey in form of a strange connection to mountains. As a vanilla fighter, she was built to be a powerful tank and utilizing as much dwarf-specific equipment as I could fit... dwarven boulder helm, pair of dwarven war-shields, and so on. Aside from being primarily a fortress, she'll dish a respectable amount of damage soon enough and thus take the heat of other characters... (had the impression the party has gone through a couple near-death experiences).

I am enjoying the submissions.
Good luck to all.
@Sir Longears...I always enjoyed Kazmuk. I personally do not see a problem with that but then again, I am only one person.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Thank you for showing interest in the campaign.
Background Skills are in play, Elephant in the Room is not active.
6000 gp as starting gold.
I will be reviewing characters and asking the players for input.
Complete characters
Sir Longers- Duzz Li'l Lamb [Tiefling rogue (sylvan trickster) 4] or Ursa Threestones [dwarf fighter 4]
Mark Thomas 66 - Saoirse Oparael [Aasimar Bard (Demagogue) 4]
Venir - Pullap Kaduk [halfling Bard 3/Unchained Rogue 1]
Interest Shown
Mightypion
Evyndil
Looking at the party needs I'll forgo the Demagogue archetype (works better for a leader), and go with standard Bard for the Inspire buff
When does the recruitment end?
Dotting in, seems intresting, I should be able to make something up by Tuesday or so!
We hope to have the players picked by 2/22. If people need more time to get a submission in we will push it back to 2/29.
If it is possible, I would like to throw in for a rogue, pretty standard trap one, maybe facey, but for sure a rogue. I've started this ap a few times and have only once made it past the stag lord. If there is still time to put in for it.
6000 gp as starting gold.
I had not realized we had this much gold to spend and apologize. I include the shopping cart in the spoiler below for my character Pulap. There are minor changes to stats which I don't think are important at this stage.
Bag of holding type I
Cloak of resistance +1
Mwk Aldori dueling sword
Mwk Chainshirt
Wand of Shield
would the group benefit more from weapon enchantment boni (stack with intrinsic enchantment boni of the weapon) applied to their weapons (such as f.e. shocking, flaming etc. chosen at the start of a fight) or from convential bardic things?
Debating between spell warrior skald (whose weapon song does not preclude spell casting) and some type of bard.
Also, is anyone in the group using combat maneuvers, or planning to use combat maneuvers? If yes, this makes spell warrior very good as I can give an untyped +my class level to a CMB check.
There are two weapon focused characters in the group currently. So general inspiration may be more useful then weapon enhancements.
Currently, no one is focused on combat maneuvers in the group.
Hello, there are several people who have shown interest and not completed a character so we are going to delay the selection process until the 29th.
Looking forward to seeing the last couple of characters.
Selection will be tomorrow. If you want to get your character in, please do it today!
Can't wait!!! Good luck everyone.

Suspense is killing me. Here's some wisdom if it helps: there's no such thing as too many bards!

Thank you for all the submissions. Unfortunately, we can only select two.
We are going to go with Saoirse and Duzz. Please join in the Discussion board and feel free to dot.
Have a good game!
