Pathfinder Society (second edition) Faction Showcase

Thursday, March 19, 2020

Reading over our community feedback, several people noted that the faction symbols for Pathfinder Society (second) edition hadn’t enjoyed a premier and that the faction leader art only appeared in scenarios, like Pathfinder Society Scenario #1-01: Absalom Initiation! In this blog, we included a list of current scenarios that contribute to each faction’s storyline. Some factions have more scenarios listed, but fear not! We’ve still got five months to go in the Year of the Open Road and more faction goodness up our sleeves

While these images don’t currently appear in a community use packet, we hope to fix that in the near future. For those looking for faction pins, similar to the ones for Starfinder Society and Pathfinder Society (first edition), we hope to have news shortly. If you are interested in a faction and haven’t had a chance to play the associated scenarios, we encourage you to consider checking out an online game! For now, let us formally unveil the images!
