Playing Kingmaker soon, trying to add some Dark Tapestry / Chtulhoid influences to the campaign. *General Spoiler warning*

[Spacepup]

I'm going to try to run a Kingmaker campaign for my wife and me. It's just the two of us, and she's a big fan of H.P. Lovecraft and other assorted stuff. I don't normally do 3PP stuff, but when she saw the Old Gods mystery for the Oracle she got so excited about it I had to let her do it.

I'm looking to add more Dark Tapestry/Cthulhu Mythos kind of stuff into the campaign. I was planning on inserting the Carrion Hill module sometime during RRR starting as trying to secure a source of Middenstone for the fledgling kingdom, or something along those lines.

I figure Nyrissa was looking a bit too far afield and towards the stars when she was looking for help to return from exile and regain her position, and a least some of her madness is from contact with beings from the dark tapestry. I was thinking of making Ilthuliak a Void Dragon, swapping the enraged giant owlbear with a Dark Young of Shub-Niggurath, and other simple swaps like that.

I want to do a little more than just swapping out monsters, so does anyone have any ideas for making Kingmaker just a little bit more.... 'Wrong'?

Search for Candlemere Island - LOTS of GMs have turned that into a Cthulu-fest!

There are a few mysteries around which you could also play with if you want, &
many of them are courtesy of Nyrissa (unicorn book one), or via other fey.

Why not take the fey in your campaign out completely & be replaced by creatures
of the mythos? Yes, a bit of work, but probably very rewarding.

Or, if not prepared to go to that degree, get Dark Fey by Kobold Press & similar
other books & incorporate a darker feel to the campaign in general.

I ran an extended version of the Candlemere encounters using Dark Tapestry stuff. Just PM your email and your welcome to a copy of it.

I also added some Dark Tapestry elements to the Talon Peak encounter in book 3, making the ruined tower an observatory that had driven it's builders insane with messages from the stars. And I'm intending to run "Wake of the Watcher" from Carrion Crown in our Kingmaker nation in the near future.

I posted some thoughts I'd had about integrating Carrion Hill into RRR over here, if those are of any use to you.
