September Scenario Previews

Hiya, Starfinders! I have something special for you this month. A while back, I was discussing real-world current events that caused shipping delays with some friends, and someone jokingly commented that it would make a great Starfinder Society scenario. I couldn’t get the thought out of my head, and as I let the idea percolate, it kept getting weirder and weirder. How weird is it? Well, let’s just say the Society might solve a shipping crisis in more than one way.

This month, a group of Starfinders traveling in deep space encounter a distress beacon from a stalled cargo freighter. Once they investigate, they learn that the ship belongs to Multifold Industries, and that there’s something more to this problem than meets the eye. The mission is simple in theory: board the ship, assess it for damage, make any onsite repairs possible, and contact Multifold. Not a bad way to earn some credits, right? Ah, if only things were ever that easy…

Starfinder Society #4-08: Precious Cargo is an adventure for levels 1–4. The amazing Diego Valdez was my partner in crime for this one. We had a blast crafting this idea together, and he did an excellent job writing it—so check it out!

Hello again, Pathfinders! We’ve got two exciting scenarios for you in September, one of which continues the ongoing story of the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries, and one of which is a standalone adventure taking place in the Mwangi Expanse!

First, a group of Pathfinder agents travel to Almas, the capital of the free nation of Andoran, to present a legal defense of the Society’s claim to the Cathedral of Aroden. Losing one of their most significant lodges in Andoran would be a devastating blow to the Society, but when these agents arrive, they find that legal troubles are the least of their worries. A troubled ghost stalks the nearby streets and seems to be accusing the Pathfinder Society of heinous deeds! Can the agents learn the truth behind the ghost’s message and prevent the Society’s precarious position in Almas from crumbling?

Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-02: The East Hill Haunting is the first scenario in a two-part Year of Shattered Sanctuaries metaplot arc related to strange events befalling the Pathfinder Society’s lodge in Almas, Andoran. It is an adventure for levels 1–4, written by Nicole Heits.

Next up, we have an adventure that follows another group of Pathfinders to Anthusis, the capital of Vidrian. The Pathfinder Society has been working to return looted relics to communities in this recently liberated nation in the Mwangi Expanse. Recently, the Society seized an opportunistic relic hunter’s ship and discovered a magic bell that appeared to contain protective magic to ward against ravenous fey. Venture-Captain Finze Bellaugh has sent out an urgent call for Pathfinder agents to discover where the bell came from and return it to its rightful owners as quickly as possible. To learn the bell’s true purpose and history, the Pathfinder agents must journey deep into the Laughing Jungle—where hopefully, they’ll meet more friends than foes!

Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-03: Echoes of Desperation is a standalone adventure for levels 3–6, written by Mike Kimmel and Nate Wright.

Explore! Report! Cooperate! And would somebody please get me some sovereign glue to hold these sanctuaries together!
