Pathfinder Society Special: Blood Under Absalom

3/5

This might be a bit early to ask, but is there any idea if there will be any special props or gimmicks associated with this special? I ask because it will be run Tacticon, Labor Day in Denver, I've been asked to help out, and it would be neat to have some props for the players. Things I would be looking for would be mock up arenas, scoreboards, etc. Something appropriate for a "pit fighting" sort of competition.

I have been informed by my VC to not worry about it. Nevertheless, any foreknowledge of props would be helpful for my craftsy inclinations, although I suppose a month is enough time to put something together.

In the past, the people running the Special at GenCon have not received until the week before. Things may be different this year, but you may wish to take that into account.

Does anyone have any prepped info for this special?

The folder on pfsprep.com is empty and we're going to run this locally in a little over a week. Would be an enormous help.

Since you mentioned running it... The folder is still empty. If you have prep to share Avatar, that would be awesome!

I don't think I ended up creating anything for it, but I'll have a look when I get home.

Felt like it was easier to run than Legacy of the Stonelords (where the prep work definitely helped).

Yep, didn't end up using any prep info. I have the maps exported out, but that's it.

From what I recall, the stats for the Aspis were the trickiest to deal with, notably so in the theatre (where they change and there's minimalist stat blocks in the book) and the sewer encounter.

We are going to be running this in a couple of month's time, and I would like my players to have some of the lead in scenarios played. Any suggestions about which scenarios set this up?

Awesome question Sandra :)

I will be Overseering it, which will no doubt be awesome, but positioning some lead-in scenarios might be cool.

There are enough of our players who joined post S3 so a lot of the content would be 'new old stock', how exciting!

I don't immediately see anything before this that's particularly martial art-y or mentions Tian Xia. Scenarios that get around Absalom, particularly down to the docks (Silent Tide, Slave Pits of Absalom, Frozen Fingers of Midnight, First Steps 1, some higher level, even sliding ahead to The Paths We Choose) might make the locations familiar, while those that involve the Aspis Consortium, such as the Devil We Know series, might prepare the players to get competitive.

If you have mid-level players, The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet could be OK to run with some editing of the mission briefing, though strictly speaking it's out of continuity.

Are there any last-minute quick recommendations or preps I can do to make my player's lives easier -- I'm scheduled to run this this weekend coming up and I'm not finding *anything* useful out there other than a 'mini pull list'.
