Guide Updates

Version 5.10 of the Guide to Organized Play: Pathfinder Society has been published! This version contains some important updates, including removing axiomatic and anarchic runes, which must be returned for a full refund as they no longer function with the removal of alignment; and making some remaster-related changes to Spellcasting Services and PCs with Disabilities.

A full changelog is available here. Please let us know if there are any further questions or concerns!


FAQ Updates

To go along with the Guide, we’ve added a couple new FAQ answers to the Pathfinder Society FAQ page! Specifically, there is now suggested guidance on running Influence encounters in PFS, as well as clarity on how to get items made from special materials.


Sanctioning Updates

February might be our quietest release month in recent memory, with just a single flip-mat on top of our OP scenarios! But of course, that’s all due to next month’s Seven Dooms for Sandpoint, a double-length AP taking you back to where it all began. As such, the sanctioning machine is kicking up again!

We expect Seven Dooms to be sanctioned for PFS play upon release, and players will get access to a pretty cool item for completing the adventure! No spoilers, yet. We’ll also be sanctioning the Pathfinder Monster Core but, other than summoning creatures, there aren’t very many player-facing options in this book.

In April, we expect to drop sanctioning for the Tian Xia World Guide, and then in May we’ll turn our attention to Howl of the Wild as well as our final Starfinder First Edition release, Mechageddon! Lots of new content on the horizon for you all, hope you’re excited!


GM Recognition

GM Ranks

Whether stars, novas, or glyphs, achieving a 5 ranking in any program involves a substantial amount of time. To achieve the 5th milestone, a GM must run 150 games, of which at least 50 must be unique scenarios and 10 special scenarios as well as run between one and three games for venture-captains (program dependent). A conservative estimate of the time needed to reach the 5th milestone is 650 hours!

This month, we had two GMs earn their 5th rank!

5th Glyph (PFS2): Zackery Kuehn and Jess Miller-Camp


That’s all from me this month, folks! Until next time - Explore! Report! Cooperate! And get ready for convention season!

Congratulations to Zackery and Jess, and thank you for providing so many wonderful adventures to your players.

Jess, I had the pleasure of evaluating one of your tables and still fondly remember the experience, I hope that more players will get the chance to sit at your tables in the future.

Congratulations to Zachery and Jess!

I am also looking forward to the delicious sanctioning coming our way. Is there anyone else out there counting the days until Howl of the Wild arrives? I know that I simply cannot wait for it.

Congratulations to Zachary and Jess!

Excited for the new books! Im still hoping for a Boon for the Heavenseeker dedication though. The second iteration of it from Lost Omens was declared legal for PFS but since it is uncommon you would need a boon for it and there is none...

It is also the most asked for ACP boon on the thread where they collect those requests.

May not be the right place, but if we had someone to recommend for a campaign service coin, who/where would we email for that?
