Fellow Pathfinders,

Join us for three days of adventure at Unicon!

Pathfinder Society is an organised play campaign enjoyed by thousands of gamers worldwide who regularly meet to enjoy the game in their homes, in game stores, and at game conventions such as Unicon.

You play an agent of the Pathfinder Society, a legendary league of explorers, archeologists, and adventurers dedicated to discovering and chronicling the greatest mysteries and wonders of an ancient world beset by magic and monsters.

Each Pathfinder Society game sends your character on a brief mission, a single episode in a continuing story. For every three scenarios played, your character gains a new level, and you can progress your character over the course of many Pathfinder Society adventures held at Unicon or other conventions and events run throughout the year.

Unicon will feature PFS missions for new players and experienced, including new release Season 6 adventures and the multi-table Special: Legacy of the Stonelords.

Each Pathfinder Society game plays for 5 hours duration, and therefore requires TWO standard Unicon sessions to play. The multi-table Special is expected to run longer, and therefore requires THREE standard Unicon sessions to play. Please refer to the timetable below for Pathfinder session times:

Friday 3rd October
Session 1: 6pm to 11pm (covering Sessions R and A)

Saturday 4th October
Session 2: 9am to 3:30pm (covering Sessions B and C)
Session 3: 4pm to 11pm (covering Sessions D and E)

Sunday 5th October
Session 4: 9am to 7pm (covering Sessions F, G and H)

How to Play?

If you're new to Pathfinder Society, all you need do is sign up and come along! We have ready-made characters you can play to get started quickly.

Pathfinder Society Organised Play assumes that every player has the following resources with them at the table: *

- Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook or Pathfinder RPG Beginner Box,
available at local game stores and also as an affordable PDF ($9.99) online at paizo.com.
- The Guide to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (free download)
describes the point-buy system, starting hit points, factions, traits, and everything you need to know to participate in this exciting, dynamic campaign.

* New players are not expected to necessarily have purchased the Core Rulebook before their first game. Come along and give the game a try, with the understanding that you will acquire the books necessary to play your character before playing your next PFS gameday or event.

Paizo Publishing produces a wide range of sourcebooks that further explore the game rules and world of Pathfinder. These volumes contain a huge variety of options to help you customise your character. You can view a frequently updated list of all campaign-legal Additional Resources online. In order to utilize content from an Additional Resource, a player must have a physical copy of the Additional Resource in question, a name-watermarked Paizo PDF of it, or a printout of the relevant pages from it, as well as a copy of the current version of the Additional Resources list. You must inform the Game Master that you plan to use Additional Resource material before play begins, so he has a chance to familiarise himself with the new material.

If you don't have time to create a new character or simply wish to try out a new character class, you may choose to use one of several level-appropriate pregenerated characters available at the Pathfinder Society organised play page or provided by the Games Master at your table. If you play a 1st-level pregenerated character, you can apply the credit for her first adventure to a newly created character of your very own. If you play a non-1st-level pregenerated character, you can apply the credit to your character as soon as she reaches the level of the pregenerated character played. You may also opt instead to apply the credit from the non-1st-level pregenerated character played to a newly created character with the GP gained reduced to 500 GP.

There's also wealth of information regarding Pathfinder Roleplaying Game and Pathfinder Society Organised Play on Paizo's website:

We highly recommended you create a secondary character once your primary character has reached 3rd- or 4th-level, to ensure you'll always have a character within tier, regardless of which scenarios are scheduled. While every effort will be made for you to play on the table you've signed up for, we do recommend bringing your other PFS characters (if any) to the game, just in case circumstances change.

Please use the waitlist feature if tables are full, and we'll get back to you with some options.

You may continue your character's daring adventures at Pathfinder Society gamedays held every week at game stores around the country, including Melbourne City, Box Hill, Dandenong, Footscray, Geelong and Ringwood locations.

Are you playing Pathfinder Society at a local store, school, library or other public space, or like to start a PFS group in your area? Contact us to let us know!
