Buy a PFS Scenario, Get Previews!

We've got a lot of incredible products coming out in the next few months, and it's no secret that this blog's readers love previews. While this blog does feature a new piece of art, I thought it'd be a waste not to mention another way we preview upcoming material: Pathfinder Society Scenarios.

Since print products generally need to go to the printer months before they come out for general consumption, there's a pocket of several weeks between when something's done when we know its finalized content. Pathfinder Society Scenarios are pdf-only products, and don't require the same lead-time in the production process, and that means that sometimes we can slip in some actual mechanics from complete but unreleased products.

Last month's release of Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-08: The Sarkorian Prophecy saw content from the forthcoming Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Book of the Damned—Volume 2: Lords of Chaos. Of the two scenarios releasing today, Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-09: The Heresy of Man, Part III: Beneath Forgotten Sands not only wraps up the three part Heresy of Man arc by Greg A. Vaughan and Kevin J. Wright, it also contains two monsters from the pages of the highly anticipated Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Bestiary 2.

I hope to continue the trend of including sneak previews of upcoming material into Pathfinder Society Scenarios, both to reward active players with new content before it's widely available and to make adventures as awesome as they can be by using all the tools at my disposal. Be sure to check out the two new scenarios releasing today as well as two additional scenarios the last Wednesday of every month.

Addendum: Unfortunately, due to Seattle's inability to clear roads of ice and snow, we are still without an editorial staff. Final edits are being made from home, but can't be entered into the document outside the office. Thus, today's scenarios will be a little late. We expect to have them up no later than Tuesday of next week. We apologize for the delay, and appreciate your patience.
