Scenario suggestions for Geek Girl Con

[Gwen Smith]

I'm collecting a list of PFS scenarios that feature strong female NPCs outside the venture captains. What are your favorites?

[Lamontius]

Cyphermage Dilemna

Spoiler:

The BBEG is a pretty scary female Vishkanya Magus and the peg-legged female dwarf ex-captain can be played to great effect as well as a PC ally.

[godsDMit]

Anything featuring Miss Feathers*

*:

(City of Strangers 1 and 2, Feast of Sigils), assuming your GM is mature enough to roleplay the situation well and not treat her like a sideshow freak.
Of course, she isnt technically female, so I dont know if she is what you are looking for. :/

IIRC, Perils of the Pirate Pact and Quest for Perfection: Part II also have

Spoiler:

female pirate captains as the BBEG.

The Blakros Matrimony is jam-packed with powerful female NPCs.

[godsDMit]

Fortress of the Nail has some powerful female NPCs as well, I think.

[Sarta]

I'm not spoilering this, because I'm sticking with NPC's -- not villains -- and giving no specifics:

The Blakros women are certainly strong females:

• Voice in the Void
• Penumbral Accord
• Blakros Matrimony

Then there are the Foxglove sisters:

• The Golden Serpent
• The Green Market

The Thuvian NPC from The Immortal Conundrum (I can't remember her name) was pretty strong.

Lady Darchana of House Madinani is a cast member of the Hellknight's Feast. She is one of the 12 councilors of Absalom and the archdean of the Arcanamirium.

However, there aren't a lot of scenarios with strong female -- or male -- NPC's who aren't Venture Captains or villains. If looking for villains, let us know.

God's Market Gamble!

Perrsonally I think Penumbral Accords would be a bad one for this sort of thing. It's almost your generic 'damsel in distress' sort of situation. :/

Seconded.

That said ...

Red Harvest (if you don't mind if they're not human)
The First Devil We Know (if you play the female villain right)
Shades of Ice 1 (I think? It's been a while)
QfP3 (depending on your definition)
Sewer Dragons of Absalom (though again, not human)
Dawn of the Scarlet Sun (... kiiiinda)

[godsDMit]

If you wanted to offer the sanctioned part of Rise of the Runelords: Burnt Offerings, you could potentially play up the character of Shelalu Andosana from that book. She's a B-A elf ranger.

Not from Hamaria Blakros' perspective. She's taking a stand and opting to break an ancient pact. She was the strong female NPC I was thinking of.

[Chris O'Reilly]

The Infernal Vault

Spoiler:

Bad girl end NPC, doesnt talk or interact much

God's Market Gamble

Spoiler:

Sinister but strong female BBEG

Before the Dawn pt1

Spoiler:

Most NPCs are female, BBEG, lieutenant, trade house spokesperson

Before the Dawn pt2

Spoiler:

Camp led by female archeologist. Can have a lot of fun with this one

Shadows Last Stand pt2

Spoiler:

Recurring and sinister BBEG

Rise of the Goblin Guild

Spoiler:

Not the strongest per se but you have a female goblin NPC through it that you can play up

Reign of Winter AP Book 2

Spoiler:

Lots here. Matriarchal society, female BBEG, female resistance leader and her girlfriend

[Fromper]

My top choices if you're looking for female role models for young girls:

• Siege of the Diamond City -
  Spoiler:

  The new season 5 special features an appearance by the Queen of Mendev herself.
  
  
• Murder on the Silken Caravan - Definitely fits the theme
  
• The Pallid Plague - Kind of a cliche role for a woman, but it works.
  

Other interesting choices:

• Sewer Dragons of Absalom - As mentioned above, this one's not a race you'd expect.
  
• Severing Ties - Maybe not exactly the role model you'd hope for, but definitely strong and female.
  
• The Disappeared - Both strong and weak NPCs of both genders all over the place in this one.
  
• The Night March of Kalkamedes -
  Spoiler:

  Kinda ify as to whether she qualifies as strong, given her "damsel in distress" role, though she's powerful once freed.
  
  

Strong female villains:

• The Devil We Know, part 1. She's a potential TPK at tier 1-2. This was definitely a case of one tier not being scaled properly compared to the others.
  
• Echoes of the Overwatched
  
• The Icebound Outpost
  
• Rats of Round Mountain, both parts 1 and 2, actually.

If you want a module, Murder's Mark has sooo many female NPCs in it. Like, seriously, almost all NPCs interacted with in that module are female.

[Aaron Mayhew]

Murder on the Throaty Mermaid - It's a stretch here, but the female dwarf cook has been one of my favorite NPCs to roleplay in a long time.

[BigNorseWolf]

Veterans vault. (both the NPC whose vault you're going for and the otyugh.)

TOGG A DELICATE DESERT FLOWER

[Gwen Smith]

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone! Female villains are certainly workable.

[David H]

Rise of the Goblin Guild, female BBEGal and grear female NPC to interact with... for non PC races anyway :p
