Can Someone Help Me Identify PFS Metaplot Scenarios Please?

1/5

First off, I apologize if this thread is in the wrong place. It didn't seem to have a home in the PFS forums.

I have read that a metaplot runs through each of the PFS seasons so I'm wondering if people who know these adventures could identify which scenarios tell the metaplot for each season. I read the descriptions but I couldn't make much of a connection aside from some vague generalities.

I am starting a regular PFRPG game and want to run some short but loosely connected adventures to make up the campaign and I thought PFS scenarios might be a good fit, with some conversion obviously. Since I also am also planning on submitting scenarios I will be purchasing some to read and dissect anyway. If I can run them for my players all the better.

Any help in stringing the metaplot together would be greatly appreciated. I'm more interested in Season 1 and 2 scenarios at this point because Season 3 is still underway.


I'm no expert, but you should find a number of references to either the Shadow Lodge or the Ruby Phoenix tournament.

There's also a number of 2-3 parters, like Among the Living, and Among the Dead.

For Year of the Ruby Phoenix, the current season, in the top left corner, you will see the red Ruby Phoenix symbol in place of the green Open Roads glyph that denotes the scenarios that are in the metaplot of the Ruby Phoenix.

Wow, way to show off my mad writing skillz...

Anyway, I was wondering if the alternate symbol denoted metaplot scenarios but for the most part I didn't see much of a continuity from the descriptions.

Thank you for the responses one and all. I am assuming from the answers that Seasons 1 and 2 didn't have as consistent of wide reaching a metaplot as Season 3? I'll look for references to the mentioned elements and see what grabs my fancy.

Does anyone have any favorites I should aim for?

Season 2 was the first season with a discernible metaplot that I know of. Though, there is a list around here somewhere.

Season 4 will be much more cohesive.

Season 3 has definitely lacked adhesive.

Some of mine had staples. Does that count?

Yep ... but, Mike's in the Decimvirate: He's got enough prestige to have access to Sovreign Glue if he needs it. It'll all come together.

As long as Dragnmoon doesn't show up with Universal Solvent, or Kyle doesn't kill us all first. ;-)

I actually have a Colaborator working on a timeline, story kind of fiction that should aid you greatly in this. It won't be ready for another month or two but it is on the agenda.

Mike,

That quote is from the link that Dan provided up there ^^^.
Did anything come of that? You posted that back in October, so that was like 5 months ago. :P

Yep. Look for an article coming soon in Kobold Quarterly.

Sweet, I was going to ask about that.
