Where it All Began: In 2010, Pathfinder’s Kingmaker Adventure Path raised the bar on what a tabletop fantasy RPG campaign could be. With open-ended sandbox-style adventures, Kingmaker beckoned players to claim their throne and carve a new nation out of the treacherous River Kingdoms, map hex by map hex. Tens of thousands of gamers answered the call, ranking Kingmaker among the best-known and best-loved tabletop campaigns in history.

In past years, we’ve published hardcover collections of our popular Rise of the Runelords and Curse of the Crimson Throne campaigns, returning beloved out-of-print favorites updated with new bridging material, new illustrations and maps, errata, and numerous additional improvements. This campaign brings Kingmaker into the same fold.

Into the Digital Realm: Last fall, Owlcat Games released a best-selling computer game adaptation of the Kingmaker campaign, adding new adventures, new mysteries, and more than a dozen new companions to accompany the players as they expand their holdings from a single fortress to a burgeoning empire. A new generation of rulers have schemed and sliced their way to the heights of power in the River Kingdoms, and interest in the Kingmaker campaign has never been higher!

Kingmaker’s 10th Anniversary: Next year is the perfect time to celebrate with a brand new collected and expanded hardcover compilation of the Kingmaker campaign for Pathfinder Second Edition, along with a little something special for our friends who prefer 5th Edition or the first edition of Pathfinder.

There’s the campaign, now here’s a look at the new cover art:

Currently, Paizo is finalizing their map turnovers for the campaign’s various Flip-Mat Multi-Packs, and soon will be “fine-tuning the updated and expanded kingdom building and mass combat rules, and ordering new art for characters, creatures, and scenes both new and old.”

You can expect to see more soon, with the release scheduled for later this year.

Happy Adventuring!
