I think it just has a Bestiary and then you use the PF2e version for the Kingdom management aspect.Aside: did the 5E version of Kingmaker ever come out?

Oh. That's weird. PF2 and 5E have totally different skill systems and typical DCs. Why would I buy it if I had to convert on the fly all the time?I think it just has a Bestiary and then you use the PF2e version for the Kingdom management aspect.
Good question! Publishing a separate bestiary seemed like an odd move to me, but I guess I don’t know what’s in the 2e AP. If it references the existing 2e bestiaries for stat blocks then maybe a full 5e conversion for the AP is still on the way? I didn’t see one up for preorder, maybe I missed it? There’s definitely an Abomination Vaults 5e book up for preorder.Oh. That's weird. PF2 and 5E have totally different skill systems and typical DCs.

Converting the unique to PF and the AP monsters, NPCs, and companions would probably be the most complex work in converting the AP overall. So they basically removed that hurdle as part of their crowdfund project. They never set out to convert the whole thing - just make it a bit easier for the cross-game interest.Good question!

That makes sense. Making up DCs for skill checks on the fly is a pretty common thing (regardless of which system you're running), so as long as you have guidance on how a trap works or the stats for a monster, the rest is probably pretty manageable.Converting the unique to PF and the AP monsters, NPCs, and companions would probably be the most complex work in converting the AP overall.

I am running my second Pathfinder 1e to 5e AP conversion and skill DCs are the easiest thing to not sweat and do on the fly for easy medium hard difficulties.That makes sense.
