I wouldn't go that far. Paizo needs to pay for these to get made, after all, and they're quite cheap if you think of the page count and quality production values etc. Though I'm a fellow Charter Superscriber like yourself, I don't begrudge Paizo making a small profit on these. Even if you finished one in an evening's session, that's a small price to pay. Like renting a movie.
However, if we Charter Superscribers were to, say, receive a discount on them...I wouldn't complain ;-)
Nice avatar choice. You're either a Downer fan like myself, or a Drow fan (that works too). If the former, we need to put the pressure on Paizo to do something really important. Like print the 2nd volume of those Downer strips...

Both, and I think there were like only 8 avatars available when I picked it out ;-)

We still have to pay the authors, cartographers, and artists (as well as the developers, editors, and graphic designers) responsible for the production of the scenarios. Given we're releasing 28 a year and that these take work to produce, there is no way we could just give them away for free.
Rather, we set a low price point to make them accessible.

I just thought it would be a nice feature for superscribers who are already investing on the Pathfinder game. but I can see how an extra $100 a year can make a difference in spending on both sides of the table.
Maybe at some point there can be a complied print edition of the previous years senarios. "Pathfinder Happinings Year X"
I'm much more willing to pay for print editions than I am soley e-copies.
Can anybody tell me wether this module is easy to convert to PFRPG? Especially the template.
It shouldn't be hard at all. In fact, I ran this as written for four Pathfinder characters at an unofficial game at GenCon and it was still so challenging that they didn't even finish it, fleeing from the museum with their near-dead comrades in tow. I wouldn't change anything, except maybe using PFRPG stats for any monsters that now exist in updated form (vargouille, snake, ghoul, etc.) Even the template doesn't need any work as far as I can tell.
So Pathfinder society scenaries aren't set up for use with the Pathfinder RPG? I've only played the once, last gencon...and we played Pathfinder. I'm so very very lost right now...

Before the final Pathfinder RPG rules were out, all PFS scenarios used standard 3.5 rules. So all 28 Season 0 scenarios need minor conversion to the current rules set, but they are mostly compatible since PFRPG is backwards compatible.

To be specifically clear:
Scenarios #1 through #28 were designed using 3.5. They are compatible with Pathfinder RPG and need nothing more than a CMB/CMD calculation for each stat block in order to be run under Pathfinder RPG (the current rules set for Pathfinder Society).
Scenarios #29 and up were designed using Pathfinder RPG.
Gotcha....I think I knew that, just got it in my head this was a new adventure (not looking at the numbers, just saw the name and got interested). Thanks for clearing it up guys.
The template need a little conversion. I recommend you look at the template spreadsheet that someone has posted on the boards for easy appliance of the template, and convert that sheet. It's mainly the skills that needs working at, but also add CMB and CMD.
Pathfinder Society Scenario #5: Mists of Mwangi has been updated for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Purchasers have access to both 3.5 and Pathfinder RPG editions, but as of today, only the Pathfinder RPG edition is legal for Pathfinder Society organized play.
Anyone who has purchased the 3.5 edition may download the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game edition for free from your My Downloads page.

Thanks very much for not asking me to buy this again for the PfRPG update, especially since I've never gotten around to running it since buying the 3.5 edition. :)
Paizo rocks!

Hello - I only have access to the 3.5 edition of this module on my assets page.
Sozin - I'm showing that you have access to both versions. However, they are likely not directly next to one another, since they were granted on differing days. Your browser's Find function may be helpful.

I played in the updated version of this at Penguicon 2011. I liked the setting a lot, but there were some problems. If I could rate it, I would give it 3 stars.
We had a party of 4 characters (Clr1, Fig1, Wiz2, Fig1). We *barely* survived the first encounter.
Details about an encounter:
The fight in the hall of the honored dead is just too hard for 4 characters. The zombie that has an AC of 20 (!!) and a ghoul (3 attacks) and 1 skeleton. Jeez. And with the pregen cleric with no turn undead, we just had to do it the hard way.
The final encounter was good fun.
And yet...:
The caster in the corner required a perception check of 25 to see him. I managed it because I rolled a nat 20 and have a fairly crazy perception skill for a 2nd level character.
In the final analysis, I'd like to see this tweaked a little bit more to accommodate first level characters.
