I'm planning on converting Kingmaker to be used with 13th Age and am finding it surprisingly easy other than one aspect. The Icons from 13th Age. Characters in the game have relationships with unique, incredibly powerful NPC's referred to as icons. This isn't necessarily a direct relationship but could be something like having previous experience with members of an organization that obeys that icon. In implementing this into Kingmaker, I'm finding some difficulty in figuring out who/what to have as icons.
Several figures seem obvious/easy to cross over. 13th Age has the Dragon Emperor, Kingmaker could have King Surtova from Brevoy. 13th Age has the Lich King, Golarion has the Whispering Tyrant.
I have planned, roughly the following list of icons. However, I'm looking for thoughts/help on transferring this idea over to Kingmaker & Golarion.
* King Surtova (replacing the Emperor)
* Whispering Tyrant (replacing the Lich King)
* Matro Livondar (Ruler of Daggermark in the River Kingdoms, replacing the Prince of Shadows)
* High-Priestess of Abadar in Brevoy (replacing the Priestess)
*Swordlords of Restov (replacing no one but representing a strong faction/figure in Kingmaker)
*High-Priest of Erastil (replacing the Arch-Druid)
*The Eldest (replacing the Elf Queen)
Thank you for this - I, too was tinkering with 13th Age/Pathfinder conversion.
