In the toughest of times, people have always shared stories with each other, whether as a respite from harsh realities, to share a common vision and pull together as a community, or to simply boost morale. We are pausing our weekly flash fiction for five weeks and during this time, we’ll take a walk down memory lane. Will we revisit the Pathfinder fiction available today, including free web fiction, short fiction, novels, comics, and audio adventures. It's time to refuel our fantasy-fiction belt pouches and inspire new escapades!

Free Web Fiction

In Pathfinder Tales Web Fiction, Paizo's talented authors presented Pathfinder Tales web fiction, short multi-part adventures featuring the exploits of daring denizens of the Pathfinder world. These completely free adventures gave a taste of the thrills to come in Pathfinder Tales novels, and often featured some of the very same characters from the same cast of superstar authors and game creators!

Whether you are new to the Lost Omens setting or have been exploring it for a decade, you’ll find nearly sixty free stories to immerse yourself in lore and art. Some of these stories took place years ago in-game. Where are they now? What new player characters, NPCs, and villains can be discovered?

You can use the “Web Fiction” or “Pathfinder Tales” tags to wander and roam, digitally speaking.

We would love to hear which of these stories are your favorites and why!
