The Evergreen Desert

I'm looking to some more Jeweled Sages scenarios, Destiny in the Sands is one of my favorite trilogies!

Ancients' Anguish does look excellent, I am running it three times over the next three weeks.

Two awesome products by two awesome people. Keep up the great work, John, Linda, Mike, and Mikko!

Yes! Another evergreen! <3

Really looking forward to more of the Sage arc, and the new Evergreen sounds awesome.

First I am preparing to run Consortium Compact on Sunday and does indeed read awesome. Hope it plays well a numerous times.

Second just curious as to where we are with the possible re release of two old evergreen scenarios?

Merisal, you probably want to take a look at the PFS GM forum thread for 7-10. There are a couple areas where the PCs can get misguided easily that you should be able to guide them past if you're prepared for it.

I would like to see a new set of Epic story lines for other factions than the scarab sages. I understand that they are in the middle of a long running one, but I believe some of the other factions would benefit from a long running story line or a three part scenario. I have a hard time seeing why the Venture Captains, let alone the Ten let the exchange be a thing, or the Dark Archive for that matter. Give us a storyline that ties these factions to the Society or explores them in some depth. Just my 2 copper.

I'd smash for a Darkive storyline. I hope the it involves Darklands. They've dropped a hint or two about the down below and it'd be a great fit for Zarta's scheming.

Maybe after/during that new 1-5 trilogy in Cheliax.

Just no big derro presence, pl0x. I had quite enough in season 1, thank you very much. Duergar, Orvian vampires, ghouls, anything else goes. I know, I know, Monster Codex just featured a ton of ready class-leveled derro, but c'monnn...

I'd smash for a Darkive storyline. I hope the it involves Darklands.

Sure that's the way you want to phrase that?

To be honest, I'd like for basically everyone else to get that. Scarab Sage already did, and Darkive already as some of the better scenarios attached to them. Be nice for some others to get some epic feeling scenarios or trilogy.

Hmm, that "the" shouldn't exist. But yes, "smash". Killing would be kinda dramatic.

If anyone has questions about The Consortium Compact I am happy to answer via PM or on the GM discussion thread.

Big thanks again to John and Linda for the opportunity to work on such a fun project, and all their hard work making it awesome.

I'd like some epic scenarios for all the factions really. It seems like Scarab Sages are way ahead of the rest. Perhaps because its easier to come up with an epic quest about ancient sages than it is to make business dealings sound epic?

It feels like the Sovereign Court has been gathering bits and pieces for a while now, but "perhaps found a new empire in Avistan" does have a certain epic ring to it. Not really something you can tack on to another scenario as a 10% extra bit. It has the issue though of actually changing the Golarion setting significantly, something PFS has mostly tried to avoid (mostly focused on preventing changes by stopping ancient stuff awakening/escaping and such).

In that respect, the Dark Archive should be an easier balancing act to write. Putting epic stuff (back) into the vaults helps to maintain the status quo.

An epic Exchange storyline centered around a massive economic attack on the Aspis Consortium could be cool. Hit them where it really hurts their money-grubbing black hearts.

Scarab Sages has the advantage that the Jeweled Sages are a part of Golarion canon that has been explicitly saved for PFS to mess with, so they can do more with that without worrying about potentially stepping on someone else's toes.

That being said, I will always be happy to trumpet the cause of Sovereign Court getting more cool stuff. (I will point out that they did get some cool stuff from Assault on the Wound.)

The Lantern Lodge just got a 2-parter. :)

Dark Archive had the Zarta thread when they were still Cheliax.

A dual Liberty's Edge/Sovereign Court series could be fun, if it can be worked out so they aren't actively trying to make the other fail. Like Morella wants to bring down a noble who also happens to be corrupt, so the two factions end up on the same side.

I quite enjoyed Assault on the Wound. I really liked the concept of working towards it for an entire season, gathering support everywhere. I hope to see something similar with the SovCo.

It's true that LEdge should have something coming too. Having recently played Hellknight's Feast, I can actually picture Morilla and Maldriss working together; one of them believes that aristocrats should set an example, the other one has no use for foppish aristocrats and wannabe aristocrats. Different, but they have common ground enough to work with.

Let's not make this an Assault thread, guise pl0x.

I'm fairly sure there's going to be a reckoning in the Edge hierarchy. Colson's a bastard afterall. The seeds have been planted in fertile Andorens soil, honhonhon!

And that recent "Support Colson? Y/N" thing was very telling. Edge's Journal Card also hints at stuff.

Personally, I want to have a gnomish or dwarven faction leader. A Grey Corsair or a freedom-minded Wizard.

First, I would like to thank Mike Kimmel for taking the time to show his willingness to help GMs with his scenario he recently wrote. Thank you Mike, and congratulations on being able to write such a fun scenario.

Second, I am starting a new thread for the discussion of faction storylines as to not hijack this one.
