Having a scenario where its possible to talk your way through without combat is always a nice change and the moral quandaries and philosophical discussions were a delight to see my players work through. </p>
<p>Some groups that prefer their combat to talky-talky stuff might not enjoy this as well, but I had a lot of fun running this and its easily one of my top 10 favorite scenarios.</p><p><b>Starfinder Society Scenario #4-08: Precious Cargo</b></p><p>I've run this at two different conventions now and both sets of players and myself have had a blast with this scenario.

(5 stars)Eric Clingenpeelhttps://paizo.com/products/btpy9ezv?Pathfinder-Cards-Pathfinder-Society-Face-Cards2015-11-12T14:34:31Z<p><b>Pathfinder Cards: Pathfinder Society Face Cards</b></p><p>I have to hand it to you guys, these cards are fantastic! It's so nice to be able to pull them out and show players who they're talking to. Not only do they include (un)popular Venture-Captains and others closely connected to the Society, but also reoccurring NPCs and NPCs from the more "social" themed scenarios like Blakros Matrimony.</p>
<p>I'd love to see more put out and eventually have all the portraits in every scenario, but I know that'd be asking for a lot. :)</p>
<p>If you GM a lot for PFS these are definitely a great tool to have in your GM kit.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Cards: Pathfinder Society Face Cards</b></p><p>I have to hand it to you guys, these cards are fantastic!

These are the best Pathfinder gaming aid that has ever been produced. Newer players find them very useful and a cool idea. I've got some newer GMs in my area that have shown interest in picking up their own and I tell them its one of the best investments you can make as a GM.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Condition Cards (PFRPG)</b></p><p>Since I've been using them since they came out, I figured I should probably review them.

I know I had a lot of fun running it, and I'm pretty sure they had fun playing it.</p>
<p>I enjoyed reading over the notes the players took. One of them not only filled the front, but also filled the back and one side of an index card too. Others drew maps out, and did quite a good job doing so. I had a lot of fun critiquing the bloodrager's notes.</p>
<p>Getting the players to really think about their characters at the beginning was a great way to get them into character. I had a long time player that I caught off guard when I started asking questions, but they all rolled with it and did great.</p>
<p>I think they were a bit worried about the BBEG, but they courageously went forth to save the halfling who had been dropped to -7 from one hit and miraculously stabilized on her own. (rolled an 18 on her con check :D)</p>
<p>Overall, I was very pleased with this scenario. I'll definitely keep this on hand to run when I get new players coming.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #5–08: The Confirmation (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>I ran this last night for some of my regulars and a new PFS player.

I've been wanting to check it out for some time, and finally got it from my FLGS. It took a bit to get used to the first person perspective and the switching back and forth between the two characters. I was quite confused as to who was speaking in the second chapter with the fight between Radovan and Nicola, but that was soon sorted out. I haven't quite finished it yet, but I'm really looking forward to the ending. :)</p><p><b>Pathfinder Tales: Prince of Wolves</b></p><p>Finally got around to buying and reading this.

We played the 4-5 subtier </p>
<p>We had a 3rd lvl Human Sorcerer, 2nd lvl Human Bard, 2nd lvl Half-elf Urban Ranger, 4th lvl Half-elf Synthesist Summoner, and a 3rd lvl Gnome Bear Shaman. There were several times during the scenario that they barely succeeded. If any of them hadn't been playing, they would have failed for sure. It was a great climatic fight at the end where everyone but the gnome was negative HP and dying at some point in the fight, and it was lucky so many people had wisely purchased wands of cure light wounds or the fight would have been a TPK for sure.</p>
<p>It was a great mix of roleplaying and combat and I'll definitely be running this again for my other group sometime in the near future.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-18: The God's Market Gamble (PFRPG) PDF</b></p><p>I'll start by saying my group had a blast playing this scenario, even when it was almost a TPK.
