So I will be DM’ing Kingmaker for my IRL group sometime in the future after we finish the current campaign and while reading all the cool things and areas of kingmaker I thought, it’s a shame they won’t get to explore and do all the side quests as they go on this.
This is where my idea starts, playing as adventures in this kingdom you’d be exploring some of the area of this now massive empire that’s barely been explored due to all the high level problems that require the attention of everyone else
CAUTION though spoilers for kingmaker will pop up as I will cherry pick some of the interesting parts areas of the campaign that I think will get looked over as the empire would expand. This along with several homebrew places and possibly thornkeep will consist of the adventure, which will go for as long as everyone is interested in it.
If there is enough interest I’ll open up a recruitment thread to start the process!

I assume this would be a PF1 game?
Sounds like an interesting concept. Consider me interested.
Any idea of where you would be leaning in terms of character creation? (i.e. starting level, stat generation, number of players you would like)
I planned on PF1 but if there is enough interest then I can do 2e, I do like a lot of the changes though. And for starting level it would be 1, with 20 pt buy no stat below 8 before racial bonuses. I figured 4 players though if there is a lot of interest a fifth is completely fine!

I would certainly prefer PF1 (if you were looking for opinions). An added bonus would be a helluva lot less work for the DM.

@Mythicman19 - Just so I'm thinking of this game right, the assumption is that the major events of the Kingmaker AP have already happened (i.e. Stag Lord is dead, Kingdom founded, Nyrissa dealt with), correct?
The purpose of this game is to go back and catch the side quests and options that your original players missed, correct?

@Talomyr, yes, this assumes a majority of events happened and things didn’t get to wild. I’ve been brainstorming and how I think it’ll work is you’ll start off delving through thornkeep, then start to hit some areas that were glazed or skipped due to the exploration taking a back seat. Along with some homebrew places and some areas post kingmaker

I’d be up for any active PF1 game. It seems a lot of the PbPs are starting to crawl, maybe it’s summer, or maybe it’s the style of play. I’ve never abandoned a game and if you require a post a day I can do that most everyday!
I suspect it's a combination of things, mostly that summertime and the winter holiday season are notorious for dropping PbP games to a crawl. Add to that, the rather close in time nature of PF2 so you are not seeing as many recruitments as we normally would either.

Seems like there’s atleast a good amount of interest, I’ll open up a recruitment thread ASAP, if you’re questions aren’t answered above I’ll have try and answer any I can think of. Post any questions here for the time being till the recruitment thread is up so I can beat answer them. Hope to see you all there!

Will we be using any of the following optional rules:
The Elephant in the Room alternate feat rules (Only non-paizo rules I will ask about)
Unchained Combat Stamina rules
Unchained Skill Unlocks
Unchained background skills
Unchained action economy (very similar to PF2's action economy, with similar benefits)
Unchained wound thresholds
Unchained automatic bonus progression
Unchained variant multiclassing
Gestalt (I guess this is also a non-paizo rule)
