You might want to change NPCs’ names to better fit Greyhawk’s naming conventions, add in some setting-specific prestige classes (like the Knight Protectors) and so on to better fit your vision of Greyhawk. I decided on the Ratik/Bone March border, but it could just as easily be set in the Wild Coast or even on the Sea Princes/Keoland/Yeomany border.Īlong with these major considerations you’ll likely want or need to make a host of minor changes to the modules as you play through the adventure path. This means, it’s not too hard to find an area to set the adventure path-if you are flexible. That said, one of the genius things about Greyhawk is that it’s not hyper detailed, and it’s map is quite large-scaled.
Geography: Accept the geography of Kingmaker is not a perfect fit for Oerth. Their exact motivations-even locations-are not crucial to the plot, and as the GM you can easily change their motivations to fit your campaign. In my campaign, I decided Ratik was trying to settle the northern Bone March and that various powers-variously the humanoids of the Bone March, South Province, the pirates of Dekspoint and even the city state of Knurl-might contest their southern push. For Kingmaker, all you need is a temperate wilderness area contested by a couple of nations. Regional Powers: Obviously, the two campaign settings have different kingdoms. However, luckily, most gods in the two pantheons are focused on pretty generic portfolios-for example, nature-which means they are pretty interchangeable. Gods and Goddesses: Golarion and Greyhawk have their own sets of pantheons, which at first glance could make conversion tricky. To my mind, there are three major things you need to consider when converting Kingmaker to Greyhawk (or any other campaign world): That said, if you are more flexible, it is a doddle! If you are a Greyhawk Canon Purist-I myself an recovering from that malady-you are going to have more trouble than most setting Kingmaker in the Flanaess. That said, Kingmaker (and Golarion) have their own rich flavour and so a perfect fit is impossible. Greyhawk is not a tremendously detailed campaign world, which worked in my favour when deciding where to place it. Remember, the goal is to have fun not slavishly follow setting canon. With that-and everyone’s fun-in mind, keep what you want, modify what you fancy and discard the rest. Similarly, I doubt many players will storm away from your table when they realise Kingmaker isn’t a perfect fit for Greyhawk. The Paizo or Greyhawk police are not going to break down your door if you make small or large changes to the adventure path. This is as true for Kingmaker as it is for any other adventure or adventure path. Gary Gygax himself said (in B2 Keep on the Borderlands), “Become familiar with this module, then make whatever additions or changes you feel are necessary for your campaign… Remember, when preparing to run Kingmaker it is your campaign, and you can make any changes you deem desirable. Still, depending on your respect-or devotion-to the setting’s canon setting Kingmaker in Greyhawk is not as simple as just plonking it down on a map.
