Are there going to be PreGen Characters for 7th level?

What are the rest of you doing for Players that want a PreGen for 7th level tier.

As these are built with the legacy version of the classes, we don't intend to create any new pregens.

As for the remaster versions, we've announced no plans for pregens of higher level.

That all sounds really fun! I love tracking the fundraising, that's a really great way to soften any blows of losing the race.

Should the metaplot scenarios play in a specific order? Which is the first?

It is never required to play scenarios in a specific order, though they are in chronological order by scenario number/release date. The first metaplot scenario is #1-01: Invasion's Edge, with #1-00: Collision's Wake serving as a prequel.

Hmm, looks like I'll need to work on porting that text over from the Pathfinder Society Character Options page.

In short:
- Limited means "not without a boon"
- Restricted means "not without a boon, and don't hold your breath on getting one"

The scenario is fully repeatable, regardless of level tier. The PDF is incorrect.

Paizo Employee 5/55/5 ** Convention and Organized Play Manager

There are not (and will not be) rules to transition characters between editions. However, in Starfinder Society (second edition), characters may begin play at 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th level.

Will PFS mirror SFS level creation rules? Can start at 1st, 3rd, 5th, or 7th?

Not at this time. The same applies to any other rules reflected in SFS2: all PFS2 scenarios are not repeatable, we will still be sanctioning Adventure Paths for PFS2, and so on.

re: No longer using Challenge Points and tighter banding on the level ranges for scenarios

How's that going to play out where Mentor Boons are concerned? I have found "High" games to always be profoundly unfun to go through, even with stuff meant to come into play for games on the high challenge point tier.

Reviewing Mentor boons is on our list for when we have some time this fall!

You should absolutely reach out to the RVC over your area and say hi! Often we have players reach out looking for a GM or organizer, and if we can at least put players in touch with each other we can get something started in your area.

For reasons of privacy, we don't list every Venture Captain's contact information anywhere. If you'd like to get in touch with your local organization (for you that would be the Isles region), I recommend finding the relevant Regional Venture Coordinator on the Regions page and reaching out to them.

All of our Series 2 quests are low-level 4-6 player adventures that run 2-3 hours in length. You can use the Iconic Pregenerated Characters in any of these adventures!

We also released a few Pathfinder One-Shots which include four pregenerated characters tailored to the adventure. You might also want to check out the Free RPG Day adventures, which are free and also include four thematic pregenerated characters.
