Asked my Kingmaker 2e players to send some hopes/intentions and fears for the kingdom to me before the next session so I can work on cooking personal nightmare plots having some extra contextual material and I keep thinking about the list the kobold bard sent me, which included

move more kobolds into kingdom immediately

find a goal that sounds cooler and more righteous than whatever the champion is doing

total bardic freedom of speech for all ("yes," the player added, "even for Those Bards")

be very important and glorious in general

be important and glorious enough his family stops asking him about the court job he was fired from with extreme prejudice specifically

#only one of my players hasn't played the crpg so this is always a fascinating game with them #where sometimes they are trying to lean into things they assume are also in tabletop and sometimes they're right and sometimes not #(most recent miss: the high anticipation for a certain little rat who's only in owlcat)#and sometimes they accidentally hit things that are Big Problems in tabletop which aren't or are smaller in the crpg. good for me!#that's neither here nor there though.#I love being handed a wish list of problems to cause.#like our champion previously gave his nightmare web of conflicts of interest and the chelish warrant out for his arrest #rambling #kingmaker 2e #<- guy who's going to try to start tagging their tabletop shit going forward #due to Not shutting up about it. heart
