We are posting our final Kingmaker session for a while, after a near party-wipe in the storyline. Fortunately, some of the group managed to survive and make it back to Raventhorn, but the majority of the party was lost to the lich Vordekai.
As this point, the group has become a bit burnt out on Pathfinder, this is now our 5th major campaign, and eager for a change of pace. Although we could make a new set of heroes, and return to the fight, the group opted instead to change games, at least for a while. At some point in the future, we may return to Kingmaker, and continue on with the next chapter, so the records and histories are now archived for the future.
Instead, our Sunday game will be converting over to Shadowrun, using the 5th edition ruleset. This still keeps some of the fantasy pieces (elves, dwarves, trolls), but changes the setting to a cyberpunk style, and the time period to near-future. It is also a major departure from the Pathfinder ruleset, which will no doubt require some relearning.
We have a Session 0 character creation scheduled for June 28, and then kick off the new campaign on July 12. The campaign will be home-made – my general intent is a series of one-off missions connected by an overarching storyline – but we will have to see how things progress.
