<p>I am going to be running a PF1 Kingdom building campaign in the Forgotten Realms. Since I am not making a map myself, I have to rely on what I can find online for the realms. I have found some really good maps using 6 mile hexes or 20 mile, which are about a third smaller or 3 times larger than 12 mile hexes used in the Ultimate Campaign rules.</p>
<p>So, when adjusting the size of the hex, how should I change the UC rules? OR should I even bother?</p>

I have Maximum Xcrawl, which is a substantially better version of the game for Pathfinder 1e.

<p>For the game We're going to start at Level 1. The idea would be we make a team of 4 to 6 players, where I'd GM the monsters, and play a GMPC or two, and he'd play the rest. He'd have one PC be his "star" PC and the others as supports. In this game you really do need the 4 main roles, a trap specialist, a tank, a healer, and a utility class like the wizard.</p>
<p>The question I have is — I haven't played PF in 3 years, and I'm not wanting super complex builds, but I want to have some simple straight forward builds that don't require piles of accounting and memorization. At the same time, I don't want to accidentally design gimped characters, what are some suggestions? I'm open to any kind of ideas (or links to builds) here, thank you.</p>

<p>Zebulon: Galactic Control</p>
<p>Battle, Trap and Outsmart your Enemy to Control the Galaxy! </p>
<p>Introducing Zebulon Galactic Control: the exciting new board game experience from Apocto Games launching on Kickstarter March 6th, 2017. </p>
<p>Brandon Monahan & Jacob Hardin present the opportunity to crowdfund an exciting development in the space-themed strategic gaming space: Zebulon: Galactic Control. Strategic bidding, reward cards and a modular board that makes every new game a unique experience will appeal to board game veterans and newcomers alike.</p>
<p>Zebulon: Galactic Control has been play tested rigorously and has elegant controls that take minutes to learn but a lifetime to master. Zebulon: Galactic control launches on Kickstarter with 40 unique planets spread across twenty modular tiles. The modular tiles can be combined in over hundreds of different configurations so every game is a new experience. The Kickstarter campaign features a first-run copy of Zebulon: Galactic Control for $40. Pledgers also have the opportunity to back at pledge levels for embroidered faction patches or a digital poster at the smaller levels.</p>
<p>About the game:</p>
<p>Zebulon is ruled over by the Vraniks. Four warring factions fight over the outskirts, completing missions and scrounging together resources. As the captain of your own ship, you will do whatever it takes to gain acceptance into Vranik society, including cunning piloting, clever bidding, and more than a few dirty tricks. </p>
<p>In Zebulon: Galactic Control you are the captain of your own spaceship traveling through space completing missions that you bid on and receive at the Dyson Sphere at the center of the galaxy. After successfully outbidding your opponents you will travel to the destination listed on your mission brief. Along the way you will lay traps to hinder your enemy’s progress and potentially thwart their mission. If you cross paths with an enemy a battle occurs and you may get to force that enemy to flee a space or two. Once you reach your mission, roll to complete it. If you are successful receive a reward card and bonuses – CREDIT (money), FUEL (instant movement), TRAPS (for future use), MISSIONS (remove missions from bidding). Use your reward to help you, or use it to attack an enemy, but be careful because sometimes the galactic police might be notified and arrive at your sector of the galaxy.</p>
<p>Will you out-maneuver, out-trap, outbid, and outsmart your opponents en route to victory or taste the bitter pill of defeat?</p>
<p>Become a backer on Kickstarter to find out. </p>
<p>Zebulon: Galactic Control – Launch date March 6th 2017. Last day of the campaign is April 5th 2017.</p>
<p>Arriving to your galaxy and into your hands November 2017. </p>
<p>Number of players: 2-4 (5th player stretch goal)</p>
<p>Time Required: 60-90 minutes</p>
<p>Recommended ages: 12+</p>

<p>Why do children of the wealthy excel in life - what gives them ambition? It's often comes down to how they were raised, and the personalities involved.

<p>Things like - they defeat some powerful bandit lord. Villagers say "well, that's great, but we were expecting something more like the stories about your father where he did X".</p>
<p>I think another motivation can be quite simple - they're off on a "trial" adventure of sorts and find out one of the parents has died.

<p>I have an idea rolling around in my head for some time now, about a group of children of adventurers go adventuring. The idea is that they are "trust fund kids" in the sense that the game would start out with them having powerful magic items from the get go. Of course, that is part of the problem since motivation in many a game is predicated on killing monsters, selling the loot, and then upgrading gear.</p>
<p>The idea from a GM point of view - I want to remove that motivation, but I'm not sure what to replace it with. I'm guessing emphasizing role playing and building characters with goals and things that they want to accomplish.</p>
<p>Any other ideas?</p>Hi guys.
