May Digital Adventure Previews

Hello Starfinders!
PaizoCon Online 2024 is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to usher in a new season of the Starfinder Society! Welcome to the Year of Era’s End!

Under the watchful eye of newly elected First Seeker Sarmak, the Starfinder Society embarks on an archaeological expedition to Eternity, an ancient and mysterious city of the First Ones on the planet Aballon. Using a relic known as the Eternity Drive, the Starfinders launch initial explorations, uncover long-forgotten information about the First Ones, and clash with a violent faction of anacites named Those Who Call.

Starfinder Society Scenario #7-01: Intro: Year of Era’s End is a repeatable scenario for 1st- through 4th-level characters written by Letterio Mammoliti! This is the first of three metaplot scenarios in the Year of Era’s End!

Meanwhile, news breaks across the infosphere that Zo (the city) and Zo! (the bombastic undead media mogul) are finally going to put an end to their ongoing feud! Long embroiled in a legal dispute over their shared name, both parties have agreed to a trial on the planet of Traixus to put the matter to rest for good. Ever ready to create a spectacle, Zo! hosts a competition to determine who has the right to represent him in the trial. The winner? You, of course! Make your case to the jury, ready your counterargument, participate in a trial by combat against a team of crack combat lawyers, and smile for the camera in the live broadcast of the decade! Oh, and get ready to shout ‘objection!’ I know I would!

Starfinder Society Scenario #7-02: Zo! vs. Zo is a delightfully over-the-top adventure for 3rd- through 6th-level characters written by Jenny Jarzabski!

For those of you who’ll be participating in PaizoCon Online 2024, we’ve got one more adventure hitting gaming tables this month: Starfinder Society Special #6-99: The End Awakens! Join a team of rookie Starfinders tasked with performing routine surveys on a newly discovered planet that the expedition’s leader, Palivhar Chooser of Hues, believes is Krethiskar, a “missing” planet from the Szandite Collective. Unfortunately for the Starfinders, something’s hibernating on Krethiskar, and it’s about to awaken!

Written by Joseph Blomquist and Mike Kimmel, this interactive special is designed for 1st- through 4th-level characters. For further previews, check out our previous blog post on this year’s Organized Play Interactive Events.

I wish you all the best in escaping Krethiskar alive!

Take care, everyone! Happy gaming!

Greetings Pathfinders!

This month we’re heading out west, with one scenario set in Kaer Maga, a place we haven’t been for some time, and another off the coast in waters near the Ironbound Archipelago.

To start off, it seems poorer citizens of Kaer Maga, the City of Strangers, have been going missing, and while many think they've simply left to emigrate to New Thassilon, a purported haven for outcasts, an independent journalist, Nellie Bow, feels that there's something unsavory going on. She’s found her investigation hampered by rumors spread by an unknown party. Without any other options, she's turned to the Pathfinder Society. It’ll be up to you to figure out what’s going on, and put a stop to anyone taking advantage of any desperate dreamers in the City of Strangers.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-16: A Lie Told to Strangers is dark mystery adventure for 3rd- through 6th-level characters written by Alison Cybe.

Meanwhile, our next scenario has its roots beginning years ago, with the return of Xin Edasseril from its exile outside of time. A ship off the coast of the reappearing city was somehow caught up in the eddies of released time. Though it’s been years, rumors have slowly spread and the Pathfinder Society has heard reports of a ship sighted over and over, apparently following the same path before vanishing each week. This is that same unfortunate ship. It seems it is somehow stuck in time, repeating the same week over and over. The crew has tried everything to escape this fate, and gave up years of the same week ago. You must find a way to return things to normal and save the crew from an eternity of this single week.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-17: Stranded on Yesterday’s Tide is an adventure featuring themes of cosmic horror for 1st- through 4th-level PCs written by Bill Fischer, one of our new developers on the Narrative team.

Have an excellent May, and I hope we see you all online at PaizoCon!
