Hi Micheal,

try this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFwkEmOmPRo . He played there 2 kingdom turns


Greetings adventurers,

my group and I have been playing Kingmaker for a few months and are now on our first Kingdom turn and stuck a little in the leadership activities.

We are not sure if the PCs have to complete all their activities one after the other or whether they can be completed in a flexible order.

The rules say: "Your party chooses the order you go in when taking leadership activities"

Unfortunately, we are not native English speakers, which may also make it difficult to interpret the exact wording intuitively...

Hence the question, which of the following three sequences in the examples should be possible according to the rules?

Example 1:

PC 1 leadership activities 1 and 2
PC 2 leadership activities 1 and 2
PC 3 leadership activities 1 and 2
PC 4 leadership activities 1 and 2

Example 2:

PC 1 leadership activity 1
PC 2 leadership activity 1
PC 3 leadership activity 1
PC 4 leadership activity 1

PC 1 leadership activity 2
PC 2 leadership activity 2
PC 3 leadership activity 2
PC 4 leadership activity 2

Example 3:

PC 1 leadership activity 1
PC 2 leadership activity 1
PC 3 leadership activity 1
PC 4 leadership activity 1

PC 3 leadership activity 2
PC 2 leadership activity 2
PC 4 leadership activity 2
PC 1 leadership activity 2

The idea here is that example 2 & 3 are more flexible and allow for a response to the success or failure of the other pcs' previous activities.

Also, it sounds more realistic that the pcs do their first activity at the same time, then meet and talk about it afterwards and plan how to proceed...

.

And another question for us is: Can each PC perform each action once?

The rules say: "Unless an activity
states otherwise, a leader cannot attempt the same
Leadership activity more than once per Kingdom turn"

That means different leaders can each do the same activity?

That would mean that if PC1 failed to e.g. "send an envoy", PC 2-4 could try again until it was successful. That doesn't feel right, maybe there is an increased DC for each retry?

For other activities, however, it would make sense again for each PC to be able to do this once without any penalty. Such as "focussed attention" or "purchase commodities" when everyone chooses a different skill or commodity, right?

Because it also doesn't feel right that a total of only 1x "focused attention" or "purchase commodities" could be used. In addition, there are not enough activities in general to do it this way....

We would love to know how you play this at your tables, so please let us hear your thoughts and opinions on this!
