Pathfinder Society Open Call
Do you have a great idea for a Pathfinder RPG adventure? Do you hope to one day see your name in print as the author of a fan-favorite Pathfinder product? Pathfinder Society Organized Play is currently conducting an ongoing open call for Pathfinder Society Quests, the perfect medium for you to show us what you’ve got! Paizo also uses this open call to find new talent for our other product lines—maybe that new talent is you!
Download the requirements and instructions for the Open Call. (70 KB zip/pdf)
In addition to your submission, you must include a signed copy of the Idea Submission Agreement (287 KB zip/pdf). Submissions received without this legal release will be rejected outright without review of the contents of the submission.
After your have submitted your Pathfinder Society Quest for consideration, please allow 72 hours for a response before resubmitting. Allow for more time on a holiday weekend (US bank holidays) or during or near major industry conventions.
We will read queries as quickly as possible and respond appropriately. Depending on submission volume and other factors, some submissions may wait several months in the review queue. If we receive one that meets our needs, we will likely give that author a contract and pay him or her for the adventure. If we receive one that we like or that shows potential but which isn’t quite there yet, we will likely ask that author to rewrite elements and resubmit for possible future publication. There is no guarantee at any point in this process that we will give you a contract and pay you for your work.
