Announced!

Awesome! Ever since Crystal's started blogging for Paizo I've been eager to see her name on something. I can't wait.

+1 Yoda. I hope Crystal does the art as well :)

Is there a description yet?

{scrolls up} Nope. Not yet.

We typically add the descriptions when the PDF goes live.

Any news about this scenario? It is not visible from the list of Season 1 scenarios for the Pathfinder Society, no date given when the scenario will be available...

It was supposed to be available today, but since the folks are on the west coast, I doubt that anyone has made it into the office yet to throw the switch on this. Check back a little later today.

I have to admit though, I was just as eager to see it this morning too.

We don't specify a time when it will release on the day of release.

It should be out later this afternoon Pacific Time.

It might be worth checking what's actually displayed as the release date. Before it vanished from the page, it was saying it was going to be released yesterday in Auckland/Pacific time.

From experience over the last few months I've figured out that that means another day's wait past the given estimate before the release, but people could get frustrated by something like that.

Most scenarios release on the last Wednesday of every month Pacific Time. That's as specific as we can get, unfortunately. This scenario will likely be up in the 3-to-4 hours.

(And I say most because sometimes unforeseen things prevent the release of a scenario on time.)

Right... we set the release date in the system but, by default, that date begins at midnight Pacific Time. I've adjusted it so that the system now expects a 6PM Pacific Time release for all Pathfinder Society Scenarios. (That's not to say that that's necessarily the time they will be released, but it should at least do a better job avoiding wacky date line issues like the one you pointed out.)

The unforeseen things have been defeated, and this scenario is now available.

Ross to the Rescue!

Don't give me too much credit. (The 'unforeseen' may or may not have been my fault.)

Can you get Erik to finish Requiem for the Red Raven?

All in good time. And by good time, I mean I won't release him from the cage with the computer in it until that good time has come.

My very first PFS scenario, up and available for all. One of my friends described it a "steampunk elf bondage with cthulhu overtones," so I hope everyone likes it.

That sounds ... disturbing.

I did not prefer this module. It felt as though a 4th edition writer tried their hand at writing a Pathfinder mod. Instead of writing within the mechanics of the Pathfinder system the writer attempted to create many rules that either circumvented or completely ignored the base mechanics of the game, much to the dismay of the players I ran through it. Players who create their characters in the spirit of the game will be dismayed that their hard earned skills will be considered pointless.

I was, however, happy with the story that was set forward, only the delivery of that story missed the mark.

I enjoyed the scenario and will be running for my PFS group shortly.
The villain was definitely memorable. As was the objective and the path leading up to it.

Ran this at a local con this last week. It was a blast to run and the boss fight at the end was a bear!

Ran this one, and I though the Tier 1 was a little under powered. The group of PC's breezed through the lead up, and had the final fight finished in 3 rounds. Honestly was tempted to fudge up the rolls to make it a bit more interesting, but since this was the first one I ran, I wanted to see what it was like 'out-of-the-box'. Satisfied, but could have been better.

This one has one of the best end fights of any scenario I have ever run. Every time I have run this at Sub-Tier 1-2 (have not run it at 4-5) the end fight has been difficult and challenging. It is a very complicated encounter but if done well and right it can be very challenging.

Crystal Frasier has become my favorite scenario author.

Single enemy encounters can be a bit hit-or-miss. The tier 1-2 group I was in got through the module without any difficulty, which suited me fine. I thought the encounters were creative and interesting, which is the important thing to me.
