So I'm about to start DMing a campaign of Kingmaker. I'm still reading through and learning about it as best I can. However, one of my players (who played the video game version) wants to be a Champion of the Lantern King. I don't know much yet, but I know the Lantern King is involved in the story overall. Are there any pitfalls or issues I should know about?
While many things in the play test were fascinating for me, the one big pull was “10th level spells.” What could they be? What cool, powerful new spells could wizards aspire to reach? Oh. Level 9 spells. Huh. That’s...disappointing. I didn’t realize Paizo was reading the “College Textbook” playbook. Developer 1: Hey, you know what would be a great way to make more money? Let’s shuffle everything around into new chapters, maybe change things around a bit, and sell it! Developer 2: But how will we convince everyone to buy it? It’s basically the same thing. Developer 1: Don’t worry! We’ll make it a requirement to switch to the new version for any future modules! And hey, I’ve been talking to EA and Bungie. We could even do the same with our supplemental books! Let’s just shuffle and resell them, too! Bait and switch. I can live without future modules, but I’m good on this rehash. |
