How to write a Pathfinder Society scenario? RSS
Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom)

So there are now a lot of threads about submissions to the open call for pathfinder scenarios. I've put one of my submissions up and got some very helpful and welcome feedback. But I don't think I've got the time to give feedback to others at present. It seems to me that what we all really want is advice on how to write the next pathfinder society scenario (or indeed getting any scenario published).

What advice do people have for getting their scenarios published? Is there anything we should be reading? I've picked up a copy of the Kobold guide to adventure design volume 1. It seems pretty good (thoug I've not had the time to read beyond the first chapter). Beyond RPG writing, I found Stephen King's 'On Writing' has some (surprisingly , to me) excellent advice for a writer.

Anybody got nay other recommendations or advice to offer?

Keep writing. Even if what you output is utter crap, getting used to putting your thoughts on paper is a good thing.

Don't give up submitting either - somebody might like what you consider a pile of bantha poodoo.

Would you say it is worth buying in dead tree format?
