Hey all,

With the playtest group called the Pathfinder Society, I am having a rough time finding info on the Pathfinders in game.

Search is not my friend it seems, anymore.

I am GMing a 4th Ed game and converting these great modules.

So with map making and converting, I was looking for info on how the Pathfinders are in game.

I could do my own, yes but I am running low on time and would like to keep it close to the Module as I can.

If anyone knows of links or such could you pass them on, please.

Thanks
Lee

At this point, the best place to go for info on the Pathfinders is Pathfinder #1's Pathfinder Journal. In a few months, we'll have quite a bit more information in the Hardcover Campaign Setting, but for now, Pathfinder #1 is the go-to source.

Just to clarify here, the Pathfinder Society is the name of Paizo's organized play league. The playtesting going on now for the Pathfinder RPG is something completely separate. There will be no PRPG rules in Pathfinder Society until August 09 when season 1 starts at GenCon, coinciding with the official release of the final rules.

I know, but he's throwing around the word playtest and I wanted to make sure that the misunderstanding concerning the difference between the RPG and the setting wasn't coming up again as we've seen so many times since March. With everything named Pathfinder, it's going to be confusing here fora year or so until the Pathfinder RPG and the Pathfinder fluff are integrated in all the post GenCon 09 material.

Has anyone added their own pathfinder journal entries. I made one that I wanted to use with my party. It is campaign specific but inthe Golarian world. I put a couple puzzles in it so as to give players who want to do it something to when they aren't active in the game. I was also thinking of writing up one with just some campaign stuff but run into what does the avarage person know? It would seem everyone has heard of the Pathfinder Organization, bits of their journals are out there for everyone to read. But someone born in Sandpoint, what do they know of the world?
