A Time to Travel

Gen Con was a blast, and I was happy to hear that most of the feedback from Season 5 has been very positive. As you've heard me say (or at least seen me write) before, there's a lot more in store for the season, and I'm very excited to see how it plays out with your feedback in-game and out.

Sadly, it's a long, lonely stretch of time between Gen Con—when we released three new scenarios, a Special, five new Beginner Box demos, and the next installment of The Ruins of Bonekeep—and the release of the September scenarios. It's also a very welcome stretch of relative calm following approximately two and a half months of massive deadlines, but I want to ensure that there are plenty of options for Pathfinder Society Organized Play as I catch up on emails, assign new projects, and take some time to assess where to take the campaign next.

As homage to the extensive traveling during convention season, the Jade Regent Adventure Path—in which the PCs travel quite a bit—is now sanctioned for organized play. A download containing the rules for running the Adventure Path for Pathfinder Society is available on the Additional Resources page.

As an aside to those who are wondering about a different adventure that also involves one or more dragons and a green cover, yep, that's still on its way.

Happy gaming,

Nice decision!

Just from a quick glance at the chronicles, I'm very impressed. I've already got two players eager for a crack at Forest of Spirits.

A pleasant surprise, indeed.

Which is it?

It appears this question was answered in the Brinewall Legacy thread. I wasn't aware of it before, and when I asked around about it, others pointed me pointed there.

Beginner Box Demos!? Oo, where? Where? :)

Well Brock answered that.


Is there an ETA for when the Ultimate Campaign content gets added to the Additional Resouces page?

I didn't play it at GenCon, but we did Siege of the Diamond City this weekend at a local con.

The GMs and tables were having a blast, myself included (as a player for once.) It really set the tone for the season well, except the ending...

Spoiler:
I found, and I wasn't alone, that the narrative of the ending feels too deus ex, instead of truly winning the day, the foe just randomly decides to leave having completed some victory on some other front. It left us feeling a little let down, we didn't win, we survived by the capricious and random nature of the demons and little else. It just sort of undercut the excitement and feeling of achievement every moment of the module was building.

Can't wait for those beginner box additions.

If I'm in the middle of running my group through Jade Regeant, can I give them sheets for what they have already completed? Or only the things they do from monday 8/26/13 forward.

VZ: The latter.
