For some things, the degree of success of failure is known, but perhaps not what the effect is. Is Unrest or Ruin going to increase by some amount? Is a hostile army going to get a bonus? etc.

The patrols are a good idea. You can also start trapping the parts of the hideout the enemies know the PCs were in (or lock some wild animals in those parts). When your teleporting PCs hits a few of those, maybe he'll rethink his solo-strategy. Smart foes might leave the ransom note(s) in those same areas if they expect the PCs might be back, and if you want to demonstrate that the foes are smart enough to anticipate the PCs repeated tactic. Any chance the captive could escape in a short one-on-one session? Assuming his previous location was the more secure one, their new location may be less so, or could have a friendly NPC/co-captive that could help. Could one of the bad guys turn traitor and offer to sell the PCs information on the layout of the base, number of guards, and location of their friend?
I agree that Earn Income is the best way to translate this into the game. Tanning a hide takes between a few days and a few weeks. It takes an extensive list of tools and materials to accomplish. Simply skinning an animal and carrying its hide around is like carrying raw meat around; it will rot over time.
Now, specific animal parts, such as a venom glands or a torch bug's abdomen are harder to adjudicate. I'd suggest:
I presume she was sacrificed to the star stelea under Iris Hill, since the book says all the kidnapped townsfolk were sacrificed there.
I'll likely steal or adapt these for my current game (still pre-stag lord). I may assign each of the friendly NPCs or kingdom leadership roles two kingdom skills. Putting an NPC in a leadership role would grant the proficiency increase to one of the two skills, just like PCs get. This might encourage including them in the kingdom.
Some Gunslingers and goblins can go prone as a reaction.
Just to rez this, since it is still useful: -The Ghost Stone War is mentioned on page 93 (of the pdf) - Amiri's structure (Gladitorial Arena) is CG10 - I Swear I'm Sober is on page 513
Steal all the things from this board. DMDudemeister's changes (Venture Capital, Hargulka's Monster Kingdom, etc.), the old tyme stolen lands map, party themes, additional hexploration descriptions, etc.
Along similar lines, have you considered that a summoner with Meld Into Eidolon is wholely inside the eidolon (since it cannot act) while joined with it and thus not directly in sunlight? Otherwise, custom magic item for a permanent "Cloak of Shadow" effect.
Having trouble parsing this: For Extract Element,
Success The creature takes half damage, and you add some of its elemental matter to your kinetic aura. Your impulses bypass any immunity the creature has to their elemental trait or traits, and the target takes a –1 circumstance penalty to its saves and AC against your impulses. If the target normally has a resistance that would apply to damage from one of your impulses, ignore that resistance; if it normally would be immune to that damage type, it instead has resistance equal to its level to damage from the impulse. You can't target a creature with Extract Element if elemental matter you extracted from it is already in your kinetic aura. These effects last for 5 minutes or until your kinetic aura ends, whichever comes first. Scenario: A single-gate fire kineticist, newly third level, runs into a fire elemental and uses Extract Element on it. Assuming the elemental was successful on it's save, for 5 minutes:
So, does the kineticist "bypass any immunity", does the elemental's immunity now give it resistance, or is there some other case where a creature has immunity to a trait but a different immunity/resistance to the damage?
Perhaps your character has a history of paranoia; firmly believing every object is a mimic.
To update this, anyone care to double check these newer traits: Flaw:
Cobbled 0-points:
Alchemical Clockwork Monk Nonlethal Vehicular [Race trait] 1-point:
Brace Capacity Climbing Combination Concealable Hampering Injection Modular Ranged Trip Razing Recovery Tethered Training 2-points:
Concussive Critical Fusion [requires Combination] Double Barrel Fatal Aim Resonant 3-points: Kickback Repeating Scatter
Working backwards: -Is this worth a focus point?
-It allows my Familiar to act without me spending an action to control it?
-so it works for one turn then I can't use it again?
-How does this ability work?
Cheers.
Sounds like you don't get the extension except when you do the requisite 'Cast or Sustain a hex'
For rituals in 1e, I would modify them to use two skills for each check, one knowledge-based and one physical-based; verbal vs. somatic component. You could tailor these to the character's so they would have less risk/more incentive to attempt the ritual. For inspiring them to try it... bait them from the dreamside? Have them dream of their doubles discussing the count, but the PCs only make out a few tantalizing words. Or, when the PCs fall asleep, have them each make a knowledge check (can be done untrained), highest result(s) glimpses some of the rewards of the dream quest with the rationale that since they now know of the ritual, they have more insight into their own dreams. Edit: Have an NPC/follower they like accidentally 'fall' into the dream realm (or even a PC that really bombs a knowledge test or Will save while reading the ritual) and appear in the PCs' dreams begging to be rescued.
Just (re)starting Kingmaker. Any updates on this alternate kingdom ruleset? Did it continue to work well?
I used a craft knife and a straight edge. I think I got 6 hexes to the sheet, and I cut three sheets at a time. Those were actually pics from when I ran the first edition AP. I just added some new pictures for this P2 run. The map is now mounted on cardboard with a lovely royal purple border, and each hex is ID'd by a number-letter combination my SO was kind enough to practice their caligraphy on.
Just under 21k pounds (according to this calculator). 5 lbs per bulk = 4,200 bulk
*A medium creature is estimated at 6 bulk to "carry [...] off the battlefield" (CRB, 272, I don't have the remaster). 300 lbs of meat and equipment is not unreasonable for a heroic-sized knight. So... there's a lot of fuzziness around bulk estimations.
New group of players, age 9 to 40+. For some this is thier first TTRPG experience. Some are converting from 5e. I've run this AP in PF1e, so we'll all be learning the system together. But I get to re-use my banner map!
Here's some photos of my map, printed on a large banner and covered with blank paper hexes: LINK
While listed as an aura, it is described as, and has the stats for, a gaze attack. I would probably run it as such: Gaze Rules: Gaze (Su) A gaze special attack takes effect when foes look at the attacking creature’s eyes. The attack can have any sort of effect; petrification, death, and charm are common. The typical range is 30 feet, but check the creature’s entry for details. The type of saving throw for a gaze attack varies, but it is usually a Will or Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 gazing creature’s racial HD + gazing creature’s Cha modifier; the exact DC is given in the creature’s text). A successful saving throw negates the effect. A monster’s gaze attack is described in abbreviated form in its description. Each opponent within range of a gaze attack must attempt a saving throw each round at the beginning of his or her turn in the initiative order. Only looking directly at a creature with a gaze attack leaves an opponent vulnerable. Opponents can avoid the need to make the saving throw by not looking at the creature, in one of two ways. Averting Eyes: The opponent avoids looking at the creature’s face, instead looking at its body, watching its shadow, tracking it in a reflective surface, etc. Each round, the opponent has a 50% chance to avoid having to make a saving throw against the gaze attack. The creature with the gaze attack, however, gains concealment against that opponent. Wearing a Blindfold: The foe cannot see the creature at all (also possible to achieve by turning one’s back on the creature or shutting one’s eyes). The creature with the gaze attack gains total concealment against the opponent. A creature with a gaze attack can actively gaze as an attack action by choosing a target within range. That opponent must attempt a saving throw but can try to avoid this as described above. Thus, it is possible for an opponent to save against a creature’s gaze twice during the same round, once before the opponent’s action and once during the creature’s turn. Gaze attacks can affect ethereal opponents. A creature is immune to gaze attacks of others of its kind unless otherwise noted. Allies of a creature with a gaze attack might be affected. All the creature’s allies are considered to be averting their eyes from the creature with the gaze attack, and have a 50% chance to not need to make a saving throw against the gaze attack each round. The creature can also veil its eyes, thus negating its gaze ability.
Thank you for the link.
Any word on when PF1 will be compatible with v11?
Could you give each doppelganger to a different character's player to play?
Glad it works for you.
Got a box of minis (big thank you to Archon!). The details on the minis are nice. Haven't begun to clip and assemble; motivation for Starfinder is lacking. Still, when I have some free time, maybe putting a few together will rekindle some of those old feelings.
Just their physical bodies.
I'd be quite tempted to have them make Will saves or Charisma checks as ages pass while they guard the Yellow King waiting for their companions to return. Every hour in the real world, a day would pass in the dream. Each day in the dream, a new check. Each passed check increases the DC. Each failed check doubles the relative time difference for the character and the yellow king. A few failed checks and they're practically standing still as the caravanserai seems to speed up around them. The few travelers that come through are blurs, and the sands shift quickly to alternately engulf and reveal parts of the buildings. By the time the rest of the party rejoins the dream, the character left there has grown old (and taken a lot of insanity damage).
Shipped in June. Never showed up. E-mail sent.
Sent an e-mail to paizo to see if I should be expecting a second code as an all-in backer, but haven't heard back from them. Any other all-ins only receive a single code?
Too bad ND was never prosecuted for fraud -- for collecting shipping funds and never shipping -- separate from the kickstarter ponzi scheme.
Would you rather get silence?
This takes you to the project page. Select the middle tab (looks like a megaphone) for the updates. The most recent update is displayed first.
It did not.
Since the encounter is only CR 1/4, and each kobold is normally CR 1/4 by itself, I'm guessing they have the sickened condition.
For anyone else that might want the full map...

I started making this Indian Jones style map that I could put on the monitor screen, but the pandemic unraveled my group before I finished it. It doesn't look like much, but it's animated when played in powerpoint.
Thanks for continuing to post.
Neat idea
I'd be surprised if ND wasn't ghosting Paizo too.
If you want to feel good about this kickstarter, just look at the starfinder masterclass miniatures kickstarter.
