Hello, Starfinders!
Here we are. This is it. The time has come. The end is nigh.

This month marks the release of the final Starfinder Society Scenario for Starfinder First Edition. In a few short months, we’ll be celebrating the launch of Starfinder Society Second Edition, but for now, let’s focus on the end.

When it came time to plan the finale for Starfinder Society, there’s nothing I wanted more than to go back to the beginning, with Scoured Stars. And who better to take us there than Thurston Hillman, fan-favorite author, mastermind behind the Scoured Stars, father of the Starfinder Society itself, and the very first person to hire me as a freelance author, giving me the chance to write for the Starfinder Society. Funny how the tables have turned. Today, Thurston’s our Associate Publisher here at Paizo, but I’ve lured him back into the freelancer seat to pen this final adventure.

Thurston’s written an exciting, challenging adventure for high level characters that’s both a retrospective on the Starfinder Society and a capstone adventure to bring your favorite Starfinder’s story to a close. This adventure has the potential to permanently end your adventuring career, even if you survive. You have been warned.

So, buckle up. Former First Seeker Jadnura is waiting for you to join him on his starship, the Perfect Silence, in the Scoured Stars. Don’t keep him waiting.

Starfinder Society Scenario #7-14: The Final Assessment is an adventure for 11th- through 14th-level characters written by Thurston Hillman.

It’s been an honor, Starfinders
I’ll see you in the future.

Hello, Pathfinders!
Throughout this year, Absalom has been in an absolute frenzy over Lady Hesla Embersplitter, but with her recent actions in Sarkoris, the Pathfinder Society has more incentive than ever to get to the bottom of her seemingly nefarious plans. While our beloved Venture-Gossip is missing and held for ransom, she was able to have something smuggled to Zarta Dralneen: a shipping manifest signed by the Lady Embersplitter, and from the vague details remaining on the note, it seems that she ordered something… enormous.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #6-16: The Heart of the City is an adventure for 5th- through 8th-level characters written by Rue Dickey.

Meanwhile, the hunt for warshards, the pieces of the dead god Gorum fallen to Golarion, has really heated up. Nations and large organizations alike (the Pathfinder Society included) have been gathering up whatever they can wherever they can. Of course, the Society has devised a way to find certain warshards, and that ritual has led them to a location within the Inner Sea, off the coast of Cheliax.

You’ll be part of the expedition of veteran Pathfinders assembled to recover the warshard, but nothing can ever be easy when the Pathfinders are involved. The tracking ritual is leading you straight to a secret Chelaxian weapons laboratory. The site's defenses trap your ship, and while the other members of the expedition hold off the Chelaxian forces, it’ll be up to you and your companions to infiltrate the laboratory to discover what the Chelaxians are fighting so desperately to keep secret, and why exactly the warshard-finding ritual is leading the PCs here.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #6-17: The Devil in the Details is an adventure for 7th- through 10th-level characters written by Sen H.H.S.

Very excited for this conclusion to Starfinder Society First Edition! It's just hard to figure out which of my characters I want to close things out with! Should it be my first character? I have 5 level 13s and 14s and it's hard to choose just one!

Second Seekers (Ehu Hadif) 2/5

I am very excited to play Final Assessment soon! I'll be playing this with my character who survived Scoured Stars Invasion at 1st level, and eventually helped kill Dhurus once she hit double digits.

Though that illustration does concern me. I have Sneaking Suspicions[TM] about what it means--some good, some bad....

It's so fine :) Don't even worry about it! :)

Dark Archive 4/5 *** Venture-Agent, Finland—Tampere

Has Jadnura's incorporeal shenanigans escalated to the point he is now possessed by Dhurus??! :D

2/5 ****

"While our beloved Venture-Gossip is missing" - whoever said she was beloved? As far as I can tell, she was present in two scenarios - in one it was our job to distract her long enough for someone else to do what she actually wanted, and in the other she gave us a rather rambling briefing. Not really a beloved character from my point of view.

Looking forward to kick Hesla's but, though :D

PS: there is a trailing /p> right before the last set of illustrations.

Scarab Sages 2/5 5/55/55/55/5

Stoked for the end of SFS1E and the launch of SFS2E!


Whoever predicted that the Chelexians are preparing giant battle constructs with the Warshards of Gorum's dead corpse as power sources, you may be more on the money than you KNOW! o_o
