This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: RPGPundit;372960I guess no one got my joke; referring to the original Kingmaker Board Game, not this product. I have no idea if this product will share that game's curse, of being a brilliant concept that's too badly-written to be playable.

We played the hell out AH's Kingmaker for years, apparently never noticing it was unplayable. :p

I am wary of anyone 're-inventing' anything, but this does look interesting, at least from a design perspective.

Didn't it always end with three hours of everyone's massive army in one sole place running around the countryside until someone got killed by a random plague?

Or until someone got sent to some faraway location by a random event.  It was a cool game but it often ran into stalemates.  After the initial scramble for heirs and to get all your people in one place, it could really drag.
 
On the Pathfinder thing, I'm intrigued by the kingdom sheet.  The part that I always liked about Birthright was the strategic level rules for controlling land or an organization, even though they weren't great.  I'm hoping the new book will improve on Birthright without being tedious or taking huge amounts of time for the DM.
