Can't have shit in the Stolen Lands

I am Emi (they/them), Nyrissa apologist and professional non-binary Tristian truther, and I love the hell game Pathfinder: Kingmaker! Consummately. Forever. This is my sideblog  for Kingmaker thoughts, goofs, and periodic art. There is Wrath here sometimes, but I honestly am not a fan of the game so don't expect much there. I don't post very often because I'm easily distracted and a bit shy, so sorry about that. ^^;; I'm more active on my main, outeremissary- that's also where I tend to put OC focused posts.

I would like to reassure the concerned that I am, for better or worse, a full time Tristian liker. I just happen to really like that the dude is A Mess.

Help me prepare for future Tomodachi bullshit I genuinely don't remember what canon evidence I've seen on any of these points in the past

really enjoying the way kingmaker is using the full spectrum of the alignment grid in an active way. a lot of times in d&d and d&d influenced works neutrality for example is simply the absence of a strong position of something; neutrality is the absence of good or evil, chaos or law. kingmaker makes neutrality its own separate political philosophy, and that’s a lot more compelling

right now there’s a plague going around in the barony where sick people explode into monsters, and i ran into a couple of townsfolk arguing about whether they should stay or leave. the lawful options were to urge loyalty and the evil options were to punish them for disloyalty, but the neutral option was to acknowledge the choice was a tough one, refuse to make it for them, but still pledge to fix the problem

the way the game is approaching things, law and chaos run between personal authority and personal freedom, but neutrality is granting freedom and agency to *other characters.* there are so few games that let you support other characters by letting them make their own decisions so clearly. generally telling a character to make their own decision means that you as a player don’t want to engage with their issue; it’s STILL an expression of player agency. this is maybe the first time i’ve seen a game where you can meaningfully recognize that something isn’t your decisions AND have the game recognize it

Propaganda

Harrim: Dismal. He's absolutely dismal. Everything he says is a complete downer. I want him. Bald.

Orsino: Sad desperate elf with huge wet eyes; yes he helped create the research that killed my mom but have you seen his little swagger?

Happy New Year's Eve from my time zone, gamers! Wishing you a This Will Be The One For Sure from the Stolen Lands

based on this stupid thing, which I love

In the end I didn't have the capacity for much (and tbh haven't been able to draw very much in a While) but! Something little for the anniversary :) Happy birthday to the game that's helped me keep drawing again and again.

[stolenlandsshitposts]

For those who haven't already seen- for the anniversary this year, Owlcat has shared an animated wallpaper with folks via their official social media. It can be found in several sizes in their Google Drive folder here. The wallpaper is an edit of old promotional artwork for Kingmaker still seen on Steam, notable for using variant or early stage designs for several characters - look at that blonde Linzi with the sling staff! I've always found this defense of the capital art really charming despite the fact it's a bit silly on designs these days, and so it's very lovely to see it returned to.

Happy 7th birthday Kingmaker!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[stolenlandsshitposts]

Tell me a story - the kind with a hero and a happy ending.

For the last time today, with feeling: HAPPY BIRTHDAY KINGMAKER!!!!

[kirkwall-idiot]

And now that he's here the party is complete.

I'm sure Octavia, Jaethal and Ekundayo will be so happy to have this little guy around 24/7 when they are adventuring while Regongar will probably be laughing at the weird shit he says

[scribblesscribblings]

Decided to clean this up and you may perceive now yippee!

Girl why do you know that definition when you’ve probably never seen a gun in your life?

Bonus doodle:

Seems he knows that definition too. What was bro doing in Goka?

Although it didn't wind up finished until over a week after the date, happy belated Sunwrought Festival! This is something of a more joyful follow up to my 2022 art- something I'd wanted to do last year but didn't have the capacity for due to life circumstances. I hope everyone enjoyed their solstice!

(some of the process stuff under the cut.)

[stolenlandsshitposts]

Somehow, the holidays don’t seem as bright as they used to…

Happy slightly belated solstice! I thought I was going to finish this in time to post yesterday, but ultimately didn’t quite make it. Hope everyone was able to enjoy the Sunwrought Festival!
