For sure the Ratfolk can produce the Alchemical items. Potions I suppose they could do as well...
Nothing says any one group has to have exclusive control - perhaps mites make potion-like items but only based on divine spells. (Just an example.) And maybe we have not had access to any of this and that's why we have hesitated to make our presence known to outsiders and more significant monsters - we lacked the resources to defend ourselves beyond the mundane and the rare minor magic.
So this era of our history could mark our increased access to magic both from outside and developed from within.
Colvin is ready :-)
Lini nice. Not scare Quuroog or make fun. Knows lots about worms!
Train has to start somewhere!
Sent PM to our kobold....
Kobolds are always running late!
OK!
We just need a kobold.
I will be indeed.
I just snagged the Player's Guide, and once I at least get a base character down here, I'll go over it, and edit things accordingly.
I should be good to go tomorrow; my son's getting tubes in his ears at 11 EST, so depending on how that goes is how far I'll be able to get.
It's nice to meet y'all, and I look forward to this!
Um, hi... and welcome!
Welcome. Hope all goes well with your son tomorrow.
@Colvin - Thank you! He's our first, so I'm pretty anxious even knowing the mundane nature of the procedure.
Any qualms about a Gunslinger?

I had a friend who has a son that had it done, seemed to work out fine! :-)
I finally played a game with a gunslinger in it, and it's a really fun class. Should be fun here, too!
The dragonkin is bringing the boomstick! hehehehe
I may have to shriek and hide the first few times you fire, however....
Good deal!
Almost finished with him (I do it on paper, 'cause it's easier for me). Just a few quick things.
If I take the Pioneer Trait, since a horse doesn't make much sense, could I have a Krenshar? They're both CR 1. The Krenshar is intelligent, so I wouldn't need to train it, just spend a point on Linguistics to speak to it. I don't intend to use him as a combatant (any more than someone would a horse), but rather fancy the idea of sitting astride it shooting our enemies, and it fits with the "monstrous" theme.
Edit: It also allows you to do wacky things when he might not agree with where I'm taking him, since IMO intelligence = GM-fiat, and he might not always be willing to let me ride him, or may decide to go a different direction (or use his Scare ability or the like, when I want him to be silent). But most of the time (and hopefully!) he'd just move for me while I shoot stuff. And clearly the tactic will have to change if we get into very high levels (don't know how far the AP goes), but we can work that out when we get there.
Also, the Player's Guide is bunk in terms of explaining the kingdom building rules. I'll be reading up on them specifically, but I don't know how long after we start that those will take effect. Do I need to rush it, or do we have time to get through the first bit before needing to know how to run a Kingdom?
Ultimate last-minute addendum:
Level 2, so 1000gp equipment?
Unless KK is accelerating things, there's quite a bit of exploration before there is colonization. Kingdom rules don't really matter until we have a colony/community.
I am not sweating the kingdom rules for a while.
Would you use Handle Animal or Diplomacy, since technically HA is only for Int<3 and Krenshars have Int 6?
Quuroog has a "riding rat" named "My Horse". :D
I am flexible on rolls....I tend to put game over rules.
Good deal, I do too. I'll go with HA then.
I am OK with interesting mounts...handle animal and ride will be important.
Does everyone have a mount?
I am thinking kingdom building will be fully in the background.... Kind of like it happens in spite of the monstrous ways. I may adjust the stats decreasing some races and increasing others to show more diversity in your kingdom.
Also Yraalik can post in the gameplay thread as soon as you are comfortable, crunch does not have to be finished for you to do it.
My Eidolon can be my mount.
That's a pretty nice map to call it crude. Where on it do we think we are?
Ah, I was in the wrong map, sorry. So we are east of the Thorn and north of the Shrike?
It worked well in our other Kingmaker.
@Gufi Step 1: Collect their underpants...
And their gold they didn't think would be taken from them. Profit!
Gufi's got a plan!
I was also wondering; how is everyone building? I assume the Warpriest, given we've got a full cleric, is building more combat than spellcasting? Likewise, what way are you going Cleric? And Gufi, what's your plan?
I can reconfigure this guy fairly easily to be a gun tank, if everyone thinks we need it. I still haven't bought his equipment yet, other than his gun, and we haven't done much in the way of important checks. My only issue is my bunk Con, but I can repoint out of Dex if I'm going to be using scatter shots vs long range attacks.
