Kickstarter pathfinder kingmaker8/24/2023 You’ll be exploring it together, so there’s no danger of needing lots of background exposition (although journals and companions can help, if you choose) before embarking on the adventure. We’ve set up the game introduction to give you a good sense of self, your place in the world, and your goal – in addition, the area you’re heading to in Golarion (the Stolen Lands) will be new to both you as a player and you as a player character. How can total newcomers get up to speed with the background and setting before playing the game when it launches, or will that not be needed at all?Ĭhris: Oh, not needed at all. The Stolen Lands are where you carve out your new Kingdom and set about exploring the wilderness, dungeons, and other mysterious locales. “The Stolen Lands” is where Kingmaker takes place – it’s a contested territory in the world of Golarion, and many, many hundreds of empires have risen and fallen there. Kingmaker is one of the most loved of the Pathfinder adventure paths. An Adventure Path is incredibly large in scope and it’s something intended to play with your friends over many, many campaign sessions. The Kingmaker Adventure Path is like playing six seasons of Game of Thrones, it’s that epic. Kingmaker is the specific name of one of Pathfinder’s “Adventure Paths.” For those not familiar with Adventure Paths, they are a series of six interconnected modules that take players from Level 1 to… well… a frighteningly high level. So how is ' Pathfinder ' distinct from the ' Kingmaker ' part of the game's title? Is Kingmaker a campaign setting, like Forgotten Realms, or is it a game module - perhaps this question is better asked as "What's the difference between Pathfinder, Kingmaker and the Stolen Lands "?Ĭhris: Pathfinder is the name of the game system. So when Owlcat asked if I’d be interested, I came on board – first to assist with the game narrative, and I’ve also been helping them with the Kickstarter as much as possible as well. I’ve played Pathfinder (not nearly as much as the Owlcat team), and I’ve always liked the system. ![]() When Paizo stopped publishing Dragon and Dungeon in 2007, they decided to try their hand at their own game world and have had a tremendous amount of success. Paizo used to publish Dragon and Dungeon magazines for Wizards of the Coast (who make Dungeons and Dragons). How does Pathfinder differ from, say, Dungeons and Dragons, and what is the relationship there?Ĭhris: Pathfinder is a pen-and-paper fantasy role-playing ruleset from Paizo, Inc (Paizo is derived from the Greek, which means “I play” or “to play”). I'd never heard of it before the Kickstarter project popped up on my feed. Here, Chris kindly takes the time to talk about his latest project: OwlCatGames' Pathfinder: Kingmaker, which is entering the final week of its already successful Kickstarter campaign. To kick off my series of interviews with interesting people, I'm excited to bring you videogame designer and writer Chris Avellone, most well-known for his narrative work on Western RPGs such as Planescape: Torment, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II, and Pillars of Eternity.
