Check out the PaizoCon UK website for the latest info.

Last year we ran 81 tables of Pathfinder Society adventures at Conception. This year we are going to try to hit 100! Come and join us as we make the attempt. We pride ourselves on being the friendliest living campaign and you are welcome to join us as a complete beginner or as an old veteran.

The adventures are not finalised but we aim to run the latest, hottest adventures that have been released in time to allow our GMs to prepare them properly. But we will also run older adventures and special introductory games that will ease your character into the campaign and give you a chance to meet the mysterious faction leaders who may persuade you to undertake their dirty work.

So avoid playing adventures from this provisional list if you want to play them at Conception:

HOT NEW adventures

#3-09: The Quest for Perfection—Part I: The Edge of Heaven Levels 1–5
In the distant land of Tian Xia, the Pathfinder Society's Lantern Lodge sends a team of agents high into the mountains of the Wall of Heaven to an abandoned Iroran monastery in search of a powerful relic to assist them in ensure victory in the upcoming Ruby Phoenix Tournament. Though the monastery has long laid unused by the faithful of the Master of Masters, it is not completely devoid of danger, and the PCs soon discover that merely retrieving the ancient artifact is but the beginning of a much larger quest.

#3-10: The Immortal Conundrum Levels 5–9
When the Pathfinder Society receives an invitation to a dinner party at the Thuvian Embassy, hosted by the guardian of this year's six doses of the infamous sun orchid elixir, the Decemvirate sends a team of Pathfinders to represent them and uncover the nature of the event. Can the PCs navigate the complex social landscape of Absalom's elite and gain access to the mysterious vault known as the Conundrum, or will they face public ridicule or worse in the face of the steepest competition in the Inner Sea?

#3-11: The Quest for Perfection—Part II: On Hostile Waters Levels 1–5
With an ancient Iroran relic in hand, the Pathfinders must make a long river voyage to the inland nation of Shokuro to return it to the only person who can reactivate the long-dormant artifact. Whether dangers take the form of goblinoid menaces on the shores of Kaoling to the north or the powerful armies of Lingshen to the south, the Pathfinders' journey will be anything but a pleasure cruise. Can the PCs survive hostile waters to safely reach their destination, or will they fall victim to the perils of river travel in Tian Xia?

#3-12: Wonders in the Weave—Part I: The Dog Pharaoh's Tomb Levels 5–9
On an isolated demiplane, the Pathfinders explore an Osirian ruin transported from Golarion by a powerful sorcerer centuries ago. And though the Pathfinder Society believes the fruits of their delve to be ripe for the picking, the unnatural landscape surrounding the tomb and a run-in with an unexpected guest make getting out with the treasure a tough task for the PCs.

Special Event

Blood over Absalom Levels 1-11
The big event! Multi table, multi level, special event for Conception 2012. Don't miss this!

Recent releases

#3-07: Echoes of the Overwatched Levels 1–5
When a Pathfinder agent working in the famed Blakros Museum in Absalom falls victim to a terrible, ancient evil, if falls to the PCs to hunt down the released terror before it can retrieve a relic of the mad astronomer Ralzeros the Overwatched.

#3-08: Among the Gods Levels 3–7
The Pathfinder Society sends the PCs to the mountaintop mausoleum and monument known as Antios's Crown in search of a long-lost relic believed to be contained there, but all is not as it seems. Can the Pathfinders survive the denizens of the remote mountain complex and the sinister plot of a powerful cultists who plans revenge on the Society that has foiled their plans one too many times?

Perfect introductory adventures for 1st level characters

Intro 1: First Steps—Part I: In Service to Lore 1st level characters
In your first mission as a Pathfinder agent, the head of the Grand Lodge sends you on a number of missions throughout the metropolis of Absalom, pitting you against traps,thieves, and even an unruly devil, all in the pursuit of knowledge.

Intro 2: First Steps—Part II: To Delve the Dungeon Deep 1st level characters
You venture for the first time into the massive haunted dungeons beneath an abandoned siege tower in the deadly Cairnlands, where you will experience firsthand the true dangers of being a tomb-delving Pathfinder.

Intro 3: First Steps—Part III: A Vision of Betrayal 1st level characters
Dispatched on an envoy mission overland from Absalom to port city Escadar, you must weather the harsh wilderness of the Isle of Kortos before you can hope to meet with the representative of the elusive gillmen, and only then come face to face with the greatest threat to the Pathfinder Society.

GMs we need you! There are never enough GMs at Conception to satisfy the hordes of players. Why not swop to the other side of the screen. It's fun! We have hint sheets to help new (and old) GMs and the players will love you... so will we.

I'm starting to organise the Pathfinder Society games for Conception in 2011.

So if you are interested in GMing some Pathfinder Society games then let me know paizoconuk@hotmail.com.

If you are going to be attending and playing Pathfinder Society then please post here and let me know if you have any scenario requests.

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

Any Pathfinders planning to attend the Consequences Convention November 18-21 2010,at Naish Holiday Village, Christchurch, Dorset in the UK? I want to find out if there is enough interest to have a GM or two there running games?

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

Venture Captains will be assembling Pathfinders for a number of adventures at Oddcon this year. We will be running The Infernal Vault, The Jester's Fraud and others (we are open to requests).

For pathfinder information contact me at paizoconuk@hotmail.com and for convention information go to the Oddcon website.

Qadira (Paizo Charter Superscriber)

A wizard can 'enchant' their arcane bond object as if they had the requisite item creation feats. So I was wondering if a wizard could inscribe a spell on their bonded object as if it was a scroll. With scrolls, it is only the writing that disappears, so the bonded object would remain after the spell had been cast from it. So you could have a spell inscribed upon the back of your amulet, for instance.

Is that the intention of the rules? Is there anything that would rule against this interpretation? I don't think it would be overpowering to have a wizard doing this. Though you might need to set a limit of how many spells the object could hold.

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

The UK Venture Captains of PaizoCon UK will be giving out missions at a number of UK conventions.

16th-18th October in Manchester at Game '09.
This will be the first UK convention where we'll be using the Pathfinder rules.

30th-31st October in Telford at Oddcon
27-31st January 2010 at Conception

And probably a few others between now and PaizoCon UK 2010. (Any suggestions/invitations?)

Qadira (Paizo Charter Superscriber)

So anybody interested in PaizoCon UK 2010 back at Aston University on the weekend of the 17th/18th July?

Volunteer GMs, suggestions for games, guests and activities and any questions then just contact me via paizoconuk@hotmail.com

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

Looking forward to the next one - maybe we should see about a UK Paizocon?

If you guys were able to set that up and able to get it out. *You have an email list of Gamers in that have been to UK Gencon and Conception?) Depending on the date I might be able to convince a few here in germany to go.

Road Trip!

Myself and at least 4 others would definately be up for it, we are all also willing to dm stuff : )
Wintergreen, you should set that up then. PaizoCon for the UK!! Yeay!

I'd definitely be interested in a Paizocon - I might not get to play again until Gencon otherwise.

I originally made a light-hearted suggestion of setting up a Paizocon UK and it seems to have attracted some enthusiasm. So I thought I'd see if there was some serious interest in such.

So what do people think?
Could we organise something perhaps for June or July in the UK, one weekend of plenty of PFS games?

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

Conception starts on the 28th January and there are official games of Pathfinder Society happening. So I was just wondering who from these boards was going along?

I'm down to run some of the latest scenarios and will also try to run some of the older scenarios if there is interest.

Hope to see some of you from GenCon UK there.

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

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?

Qadira aka Wintergreen **** (Venture-Captain, United Kingdom—Cambridge)

I'm planning to run at least one of the new Pathfinder Society scenarios on Sunday 19th October (exact time and location to be decided, most probably Mists of Mwangi). I've got at least 3 players signed up but people from these boards would be welcome so I thought I would see if there were any takers. So let me know if you're interested.

Qadira (Paizo Charter Superscriber)

I'm curious as to how long people spend playing through an adventure. So how much real time (not in game time) does a group take to do an adventure from Dungeon say?

To give a bit of background, I'm currently running a party of 5 PCs through The Three Faces of Evil from Dungeon #125. We play regularly on a Friday night spending about 4 hours gaming. So how many weeks would you expect that adventure to take?
