One question is how Oleg and Svetlana feel about us building a town right there.
Dec 27, 2024 6:37 pm
I am personally leaning towards the fort as, it is beside a lake that connects to a large number of rivers for trade as well as fresh water, it is defenceable and the forest provides a lot of building supplies and while 60 miles is a ways we passed several bridges on the way that would allow a road to bypass the forest ( providing we scout the areas and it is feasible)

The fort has more advantages than Oleg's, thought the local zombie population and displeased forest spirits concern me. And possibly more building supplies from the woods, but again, the spirits.
As I see it, low risk, low resources at Oleg's. High risk, high resources at the fort

Both Oleg and Svetlana fled respectable lives in large city to be together and set up shop in a middle of nowhere fort in the wilds that borders on backwater territory. They aren't the keenest on nation building, however understand that it will bring safety and wealth.

Note some of those bridges are fords, as 'river ford' map icons don't really exist. Still allows crossing of the river easily.

Follow up question: Can we get a map that shows where everyone was assigned by Lady Jamedi? Might be helpful to know where potential allies/rivals/foes are

Quick review
-You and other groups where chartered to deal with the Staglord in the greenbelt
-Baron Hannis Drelev led a large group of diplomats and high-ranking soldiers in the Hooktongue Slough to ensure trade along the East Sellen River remains open
-Maegar Varn was sent to the Nomen Heights to deal with the Nomen centaurs
-The Iron Wraiths were sent to the north to deal with the Tiger Lords (Mammoth riding barbarians)
-Pixtar is a rival city state in the region

If there are other groups in the area we definitely want the fort for ourselves

I'm now supporting refurbishing the Fort, so long as the locals are ok with it [zombies and forest spirits]. Good location for trade, keeps us and any problems we attract away from Oleg and Svetlana, and as said above, better for defence against any rivals.

I am reminded that I have written a letter to Maegar Varn, how should I post that here. I intend to keep some correspondence with others.

We should look at setting up a synchronous session to figure out how to rule our mighty kingdom and set up all the stuff.
Jan 2, 2025 7:51 pm
I don't think we need anything more complex than a discussion here. Also, I recently tried some video/audio call stuff and it was glitchy, laggy and complete hell. Probably due to my low bandwidth. Also having the discussion here will help if we need to reference back to something.

In the mean time, I need to read the rules so I can understand how this works.

For the Kingdom rules I have a spread sheet that describes the rules in a playable fashion.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mMz5geoFnnGNE6Pn6eiTaEf7ev7Yo_wMFS7s-YIAMPE/edit?usp=drive_link

Note these are the PAIZO official rules with some community adjustments to make kingdoms more playable and fun.
Official: https://downloads.paizo.com/Kingmaker+Players+Guide.pdf
Adjusted: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ISvSVVxDm_4gxOVkWtllcrZkde8UbNEK

If you click on the link I can give access.

Also, currently the characters are in a fortress full of dead bandits.
Over the weekend Jen suggest a coarse of action such as:
1. Properly clear the fort and lay the dead to rest
2. Place the NPC to guard the fort from rivals and other bandits
3. Travel back to Restov (Through Oleg's) to secure rewards and resources for kingdom founding
4. ?
5. Profit

I also suggested looking for the wedding ring and returning it if possible or finding a replacement

What roles are you guys thinking of taking in the new government? I'm pretty flexible and could do 3 or 4 of them with my character skill set

With dalias skill set either councilor or ruler

Ruler: Octavius?
The Ruler performs the kingdom's most important ceremonies, is the kingdom's chief diplomatic officer, serves as the signatory for all laws affecting the entire kingdom, pardons criminals when appropriate, and is responsible for appointing characters to all other high positions in the kingdom's government.

Counselor: Dalia?
The Counselor is a liaison between government and citizens. They study issues with academic analysis but also interpret the desires of the citizenry and present proclamations to the people in understandable ways. They also serve as an advisor to the other leaders, particularly to the Ruler.

Viceroy: Silene?
The Viceroy plans and implements the kingdom's expansion and development, both in its territories and its settlements. They manage the infrastructure of the nation, overseeing major capital improvements and growing the networks that connect the hinterlands with the cities at the nation's heart, helping keep the kingdom moving and growing.
Jan 12, 2025 8:35 pm
Octavius is best suited for General. He has been trained in warfare, after all. Rulership is uncomfortable but someone has to be and Octavius is a noble, or at least born legitimately to noble parents.

The hardest thing for us to have will be a trustworthy leadership for when we are not at home.
The other question is where do our NPCs fit in.
