Hi all!
I know it's a bit of a repeating topic, but here I am looking for advice for a Kingmaker campaign with an evil group.
First of all: Hey, if you're familiar with the name Fat Hand, my nickname or you're from a disreputable elven family... get out of here! Seriously, please don't read any further.
The party is a swordsman/slayer, ranger-trapper, bard, cleric but rotating towards warpriest (NOTE: Lanther King follower! :D) and a summoner mage (replacing a mage/rogue who wanted to be Eldricht Knight).
For now my ideas are these:
Book 1: As is, except that Jhod is going to run away and be a recurring antagonist, even more so when the Pj's manage to deconsecrate the Old Temple (which I know they're looking forward to). They still have to deal with the kobolds and mites and finish exploring a bit more; they've taken down Lord Venado and recruited some of his men which will give them some extra BP to start with.
Between Book 1 and Book 2: I'll use the great ideas of having them go back to Restov and meet various "patrons" interested in donating money and resources in exchange for favours. They will be Brevoy nobles and Sword Lords and some "independents".
Book 2: Hargulka & Friends will be replaced by some jovial dwarves and some fanatical companions. Gyronna's sect will possibly change to Erastil.
Book 3: BIG V as is. Its good to be EVIL
Book 4: I can't think of much about Drelev and the Tigre & Armag Lords. I'll include here an end to the fight against Jhod.
Book 5: I'm fascinated by Dudemeister's mechanical version of Pitax so I'll probably take it as is.
^^ During all these moments problems will arise regarding the pacts you make with the nobles/churches/independents for the financing of the new kingdom.
Book 6: Ny... Probably C/G and I love (rules/challenge-wise) "The-Worm-Who-Walks" but I'm going to change it to butterflies instead of worms so it fits with the change to C/G, Ithul will probably be Gold and the Witch will be adapted to Erastil.
About Ny I've already dropped a mini-mini-mini clue as last words when Lord Venado died "Mi Petirrojo" (Ok, at that time I didn't know the English translation and I think it loses a little bit, but in Spanish it's nice "Petirrojo")
Alternating good and bad alignments for the end-bosses I think gives it more dynamism and variety.
I don't think they're going to be particularly twisted and extreme in their evil, they'll probably be very tyrannical but for example the undead part will be anecdotal; the magic I don't think they'll have many restrictions and if I can I'll sneak in some very interesting pacts... infernal ones ;)
The problem I have is to unify books 4, 5 and 6. I'm not sure how to relate the tiger lords, armag, Drelev and Pitax because I don't want them to be a whole block of enemies of evil alignment.
Any ideas?
Thanks for your help and sorry for the tocho-post and that English is not my mother tongue and I have used a translator ;D
