"Kingmaker" 10th Anniversary Edition - Help Paizo Reprint the Original Adventure!
Let’s say that you’ve just slain a raging Jabberwock and thought to yourself, “I sure wish I could play the tabletop adventure that inspired the devs to make this!” Or maybe huddling round the fire with Octavia and Amiri and Regongar made you think of sitting down at the gaming table with your friends. You’ve felt the urge to throw dice side by side with your battle-tested comrades and conquer the Stolen Lands together.
Whatever the case, now you may have such an opportunity! The tenth anniversary of the original “Kingmaker” adventure path for tabletop Pathfinder is just around the corner. To celebrate, its authors from Paizo have launched a crowdfunding campaign to run a new print of the legendary source books! And what’s more, they’ve decided to add some of the material from our video game to the new edition. For example, if you support them now, you may unlock Tristian and Nok-Nok companion guides!
The campaign will only run until May 22, so waste no time. Make a pledge, and experience the original adventure that inspired it all!

"Beneath the Stolen Lands" DLC Delayed
Dear Pathfinders,
Not every day brings good news, and, unfortunately, today is one of those other days. We regret to inform you that, after much consideration, we’ve decided to postpone the release of our 3rd DLC, “Beneath The Stolen Lands”, by around a month.
Multiple factors have influenced this decision. We don’t have much experience with procedurally generated dungeons, and the game’s engine wasn’t originally built to support such content. Our goal – to make the DLC endlessly repeatable –demands that we hit a high standard of replayability, and that puts additional pressure on our game designers. Last but not least, we feel that we need to make more time for testing and quality assurance.
All in all, this is a rather ambitious project for us, and we want to make sure we deliver an experience that is worthy of our players’ attention. We sincerely apologize for this delay, and we hope that you understand our reasons.
To soften the blow and share our progress with you, here’s a little sneak peek inside the mysterious underground dungeon we’ve been building all this time. We hope you like what you see!
Sincerely,
Owlcats.
New Survey - We Need Your Opinion!
Dear Pathfinders, we would like to thank you once again for being so active during the last survey! Knowing what you think and how you feel about our game is very important to us. We read your answers with great interest and make important decisions concerning our current and future projects based on your feedback.
Today we have a new survey for you. Once again, there are quite a few questions in it, but we hope you will be as enthusiastic about it as the previous time.

Hotfix 1.3.3 – April 18th, 2019
Hotfix Highlights:
Fixed the Linux version crashing to Main Menu in some cases.
Please, be aware of plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)!
Areas
At the "Dreamscape" area, not all enemies would take part in the last fight sometimes. Resolution: fixed.
Quests
In version 1.3.1, if the player's coronation and "Linxia's Investigation" happened at the same time, the "Coronation" quest would become impossible to complete. Resolution: fixed.
Miscellaneous
Improvements to the DE and FR localizations.
Fixed textures on Nagrundi, the troll.
A friendly reminder: while we deeply admire the contribution that mod authors make to our game, we would like you to remember that running custom modifications can lead to unexpected bugs and crashes. Unfortunately, if you encounter any issues while playing with mods, our team will not be able to help you. If this happens, please, report these issues to the mod's original creator. Also, remember that after each game update, there is a high probability of previously installed mods not functioning properly. If you wish to play with mods anyway, disabling auto-updates might prevent your save files from becoming corrupted.

An astradaemon guardian in Vordakai's Tomb could become invincible. Resolution: fixed.

After patch 1.3, the player's throne would display incorrectly when loading a game saved in the Throne Room. Resolution: fixed.

Combat music in taverns sometimes was muffled. Resolution: fixed.
Miscellaneous
Multiple localization improvements, including DE and ZH versions of the game.
Fixed the appearance of light source materials in the "Lostlarn Keep" area.

Player Survey - Let Us Know What You Think!
Dear pathfinders,
As you all know, we're constantly at work, trying to make our game better, easier to understand and more comfortable to play. Apart from this, right now we're busy developing a console version of Pathfinder: Kingmaker. We love getting feedback from our players. In order to better understand your needs and to make a few important decisions about future development, we've decided to conduct this survey. It turned out to be pretty substantial in size, and still, we would like to ask you to spend a little time and help us out. Your insight and experience as the kings and queens of the Stolen Lands would be invaluable to us!
Please, be aware of plot spoilers in the description below (in the Quest, Areas and Kingdom sections)!
Areas
Improved area transitions in Pitax.
Quests
A dialogue bug used to make it impossible to complete Kimo Tavon's quest "Affairs of the Heart". Resolution: fixed.
Classes & Mechanics
The Tactical Acumen ability of the Tactical Leader (Inquisitor Archetype) did not work. Resolution: fixed.
Even after getting to level 12, Tactical Leader's Swift Tactician ability would still take a standard action to use. Resolution: fixed.
Items
Bonuses from Professor's Hat weren't attributed to it. Resolution: fixed.
User Interfaces
In the trade window, the "Non-magical" and "Masterwork" checkboxes didn't work - the "Offer" button wouldn't offer to sell said types of items. Resolution: fixed.
Starting character creation, then returning to the pregen selection, and proceeding to the creation again would result in a character missing their starting equipment. Resolution: fixed.
When levelling up, different spells could start overlapping. Resolution: fixed.
Misc
When entering the Global Map from the throne room, the party would consist of all characters that were picked the previous time, even if the player actually changed the party roster. Resolution: fixed.
Recruiting companions while the main character is the last in party order could lead to a crash. Resolution: fixed.
