Hey everyone,
My group and I are part of a Twitch livestreaming group called Chaotic Fabulous and we have two seats open for our upcoming Kingmaker campaign.
Without giving too much away about the AP itself, Kingmaker is a level 1-20 game where a group of adventurers wander into a contested stretch of wilderness, kill some bandits, and kinda end up running a country. You can expect to encounter monsters in the woods, ruins that should perhaps should have stayed buried, rival claimants to the lands, weather that has “opinions”, and a map to explore that fills in slowly as you push further into it.
As a group, we lean heavy on roleplay. Combat happens, and we run it properly when it does, but the most important part of our games is the story your character is experiencing, what it is that they want, and what they are willing to do about… whatever mess they happen to find themselves in. The stakes are very real (this isn’t Call of Cthulhu but deaths DO happen), but there are still going to be five people sat around pretending to be elves, dwarves or whatevers so we do lean heavily into the comedy when it shows up. If your idea of a good session is three encounters and a boss fight, this probably isn’t the game for you but if you like the idea of a session with lots of RP, humour, story building, exploration… and sure, combat when you decide to do something REALLY dumb… you will feel at home. Expect long arcs, recurring NPCs you actually care about, running jokes and a world that responds to what you do in it.
As it’s a streamed game, you will need to have a webcam and decent mic. We play on Foundry VTT which (usually) behaves and while you don’t need streaming experience; you do need to be comfortable being seen and heard on camera, and to turn up on time.
To be super clear, Chaotic Fabulous is a queer-friendly table, and that is baked into who we are as a group. Bring whoever you want to play, play them how you want to play them, and assume good faith from the rest of us.
We will be playing Saturdays, 6pm UK time. Sessions run roughly three to four hours and we are looking for players who can commit for the long haul, not the first three sessions.
What we are after.
- Players whose first instinct is roleplay; combat is part of the game, not the point of it
- Good players first, rules experts second. PF2e experience is welcome but not obligatory: a thoughtful player who has never opened the core book is far more welcome at the table than a rules lawyer who cannot read a room. A system can be taught; not being a dick is more difficult
- Someone who can be comfortable in quieter character moments and longer social scenes without checking out waiting for initiative
- Players who engage with the world and the rest of the party, not just their own arc
- Comfortable on camera and on mic, and willing to get to grips with Foundry; we will help you find the buttons, but you should be the kind of person who learns where they are
- 18+ please; there is no Adult RP but we do swear a lot!
What we are not after. Main-character syndrome, edgelords, six pages of backstory badass (you start at level 1 for Pete’s sake!), and players who are just here to optimise a combat build. Equally, this is not a comedy campaign; there will be jokes and fun to be had but the setting is not a punchline. Oh, and don’t be that player who reads the AP before playing it; you’ll just end up spoiling it for everyone else.
How to apply. DM me on Discord, my username is “waitingtoisekai” and tell me a bit about yourself, what kind of player you are at a table, and what draws you to Kingmaker specifically. If you have PF2e experience, mention it; if you do not, do not let that stop you. Please don’t DM me on Reddit as there is a very good chance I will miss you… I live on Discord though!
Roll the dice, what’s the worst that could happen?
