Anyone have an update on the Kingmaker Bestiary for 5E ?

I would assume that they first need to get permission from WotC to produce the kingmaker AP in 5E - before even considering releasing the associated Bestiary on FGU.

The available date is purely a placeholder and is created when a converter "claims" the product in the FG conversion process - it's no guarantee of a final release. It's easy to guess the product code and go to a pre-launch store page, but any store page that isn't actually for alive (released) product won't contain full data and is always subject to change.

At this stage the 5E bestiary release is on hold, primarily due to the complexities of making the 5E Kingmaker Bestiary usable with the PF2 Kingmaker Adventure Path in FG.

It's a third party product released under the OGL, WotC don't need to give permission.

It's been over a year now since last word here about the 5e Kingmaker Bestiary. Any new information regarding its status?

Hi FirstFrost,

There was a conversation the other day about this that involved the SmiteWorks team and Paizo. This is on indefinite hold per that conversation. It was mutually agreed between SmiteWorks leadership and the Paizo team.
