Organized Play Preview: 2024 Interactive Events

Thursday, April 11, 2024

Hello, everyone! Today we’re giving you a sneak peek into our two upcoming multi-table interactive events for the 2024 Paizo Organized Play season!

Every year, Pathfinder Organized Play and Starfinder Organized Play each release one multi-table event that can be played with as few as three tables and well over 150+ tables at the world’s largest gaming events. These are intended to be epic adventures where players work alongside each other to accomplish monumental feats and battle great evils. In the past, these events were tied to key story points for Organized Play. In recent years, our special events have been standalone adventures that tell exciting but isolated stories, making them usable at conventions and special events for many years to come. This year, we’re continuing this trend, with two exciting interactive events that are standalone, so they can be enjoyed by anyone at any time.

Debuting at PaizoCon 2024, Starfinder Society Scenario #6-99: The End Awakens is an adventure for 1st- through 4th-level characters written by Joseph Blomquist and Mike Kimmel.

Every year the Starfinder Society dispatches agents to perform initial exploration and surveys of hundreds of worlds, identifying resources, cataloging biological samples, mapping terrain, and initiating peaceful contact. This year is no different. …Or is it?

Respected Starfinder Palivhar Chooser of Hues, has recently discovered a planet they believe to be Krethiskar, a “missing” planet in the distant Szandite Collective that failed to reconnect after the Gap. Keen on investigating further, Palivhar leads an expedition of rookie Starfinders to Krethiskar’s surface, to conduct initial surveys and routine testing.

Unfortunately for the Starfinder Society, Krethiskar is a huskworld consumed by the voracious Swarm in ages past, and this mission is anything but routine. Palivhar’s survey expedition is doomed to become a desperate fight for survival, as the hibernating Swarm awaken. Can you escape the planet alive?

I hope you join us on Krethiskar for this year’s interactive special!

Premiering at Gen Con 2024, Pathfinder Society Scenario #6-00: Salt of the Ocean is an adventure for 1st- through 8th-level characters written by Rigby Bendele and Jacob W. Michaels.

As the year turns over and different events start to pick up across Golarion, two things of interest are discovered as the Eye of Abendego, the massive hurricane off the coast of the Mwangi Expanse, shifts and turns. The first is a shipwreck of an old Pathfinder ship, the Whippoorwill, and the second is an island of legend spoken only in the stories of the crumbled Ghol-Gan empire, the Island of Teeth and Terror.

Hurricane Queen Tessa Fairwind has reached out to the Pathfinder Society to inform them of both discoveries, prompting an expedition to see what can be found on both the ship and the island. However, the Island of Teeth and Terror is also the goal of the notorious pirate Sharkskin, spurred on by xir companion and mentor, Enava, who has her own plans for the nephilim and the island.

Can the Pathfinders put a stop to these nefarious plans? Can you survive the threats within the Abendego Ocean?

Gather your sea legs, Pathfinders!

1/5 *

An interactive special with a 1-4 level range? I was hoping they would increase in scope, not decrease? Isn’t this supposed to be SFS 1’s swan song?

3/5 *

I too wanted to express some sadness? disappointment? that the Starfinder Society's penultimate(?) special is going to only be for new characters. I feel like with but one year left, we should be looking more towards tying up our character's stories, not starting new ones, shouldn't we? I realize that the highest tiers of Starfinder Society play have a tendency to bog down and thus not be great for specials, perhaps, but having this open for characters up to level 10 (or even just 8) would have been appreciated. It is what it is now, and I know the comment threads tend to be very put-down-ish to anyone responding unfavorably to a decision made by Paizo or OrgPlay, but I figure that there's no way for leadership to know our minds or make changes in the future if we don't let them know ourselves.

I'm so excited this is announced! I had a great time writing it (with Rigby!) and can't wait for everyone to play!

"Premiering at Gen Con 2024, Pathfinder Society Scenario #6-00: Salt of the Ocean..." given that gencon isn't doing anything online, this sounds like no multitable pathfinder event for online-only players?

Wayfinders 4/5 5/55/55/55/5 ***** Contributor

Not at Gencon, but there will be other online conventions that will offer this special in the fall.

I can't wait for both of these!
