Steal from the best. I'm planning to implement something similar (possibly identical to?) GM Frost's A Level 1-5 Adventure of PFS (2E) Escapades (or also GM Frost’s Another Level 1–5 Pathfinder 2E PFS Scenario Marathon). I'm a big fan of consistent tables, and the ability for a set party to grow together, and reach deeper RP and organics over time appeals to me as well. I was fortunate to participate in GM Frost's first go at this idea (with a very Moist character), so I thought I'd keep myself contributing as a GM and provide the same opportunity for a new group (TBD who).

Ahh! It originated from that. Yes I remember considering to run that scenario. While I was considering it, someone more experienced stepped in and took it over (probably for the better at the time). Thank you.
I have experience in playing at higher levels, but certainly not GM'ing it. My GM'ing experience:
PbP PF2 (hmm, I really need to pick it up here, I still owe Prynn a game soon):
#6-08: Upon Wheels and Rime 1-4 #3-18: Dacilane Academy's Delightful Disaster 1-4 #4-10: Arclord's Abode 1-4 #1-23: The Star-Crossed Court 3-6 I'm hoping to start a long-run game of repeats similar to what GMFrost has done, with a consistent table for levels 1-5. Just haven't had the time to get it started yet. Might be able to soon. I've run 13 sessions of PF1 on PBP, but I suspect the levels of that aren't what you're l;ooking for here. I'm planning to start GM'ing low-level SF2 F2F at the Emerald City lodge. Non-society, face-to-face, lots of long-term GM'ing for family (immediate) and friends.
I'm certainly good with posting every day and the year estimate sounds reasonable to me. I prefer tables that stick together longer. I will post a build soon too, but it's already late tonight :sweats: Aside from a new build (which I'll certainly enjoy making), I have these characters at or above level 6: Arfsnarf Ah'sneeze sorcerer 9, Elsha Ustosh alchemist 7, Voron Keyphyra wizard 6

Thank you both for the insight. Broadly it's what I expected but the concrete examples help me see what to prepare for specifically. It looks like Tarandor is taking over 6-17, but I'll take the advise on a "first" 9-12 and look into it, gauge my readiness, etc.

I've not played it, but more importantly I've never run a 7-10 scenario. Is that feasible for someone who's never run above 3-6? If so, I'd still need prep time, probably until the weekend.

Or would I need to spend gold to hire someone as a service? It's actually assumed that you can simply get this expertise at the Grand Lodge at any time, which is allegedly why it doesn't cost downtime days. (so you can still roll for income too if you wish) Let me know what from this you want noted on your chronicle sheet and I can update.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES wrote: The PCs complete their primary objective if they find the winter goblin tribe, recover the set pieces, and judge the competition. Doing so earns each PC 2 Reputation with their chosen faction. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES wrote: The PCs complete their secondary objective if they have the winter goblin tribe assigned to the castle by handling them non-lethally. Doing so earns each PC 2 Reputation with their chosen faction. Success on both counts! Thank you for playing!

Also I think if you update the notes section in RPG chronicles you can have it on the chronicle, if you like. I think posting here is sufficient though.

Yes actually. I recently did this with one of my characters. It does not take downtime days, but your last game or next game are as good as anything to record the rolls for posterity/visibility. See here and (more directly) here. So... go nuts! As long as you have the gold for it. You'll also have to note the attempts that fail to track spells you can't learn until next level (or shorter period if you have the magical shorthand or similar feat).

Faethor sends a bolt of lightning through her head. She tries to continue. Stutters. Halts. Her eyes roll back in her head and she falls over. Combat over! With Matriarch Szvetneera defeated and her plot revealed by her own admission, the rest of witchguards she enlisted to attack the estate retreat. Anastasia, Calix, and the other representatives enter back into the room, each with some superficial injuries that Calix insists aren’t serious.

With the winter goblin leaders in tow, you have an uneventful walk back to Anastasia's estate where masses of servants are already busy repairing the mild damage done by the goblin's raid. Their faces are a mix of exasperation and nervousness upon seeing the group again, but they're persuaded by Calix to go back to their duties. The dromaar aide escorts the party back to the council chamber where Anastasia and the representatives are still assembled. The atmosphere is quieter, though no less charged, with Matriarch Szvetneera standing clearly on one side of the table facing the others.

I missed that in the shuffle. However, as you might have predicted it's about to not matter. The party unleashes a final salvo. Gitaena launching a projectile into it, and Faethor burning it. Beezhul thrashing it, and Elidathas further impaling it with needles. By the end of this, there is little more than splinters of wood where the twigjack once proudly stood. Combat over! With Rimesnap defeated, you are free to recover the train models and question the remaining goblins lurking at the edge of the clearing.

While the birds seem prepared for it, they are particularly frazzled by it weakness. The thinner swarm is dispersed in a combination of fleeing undead birds and others that drop to the ground innert. BLACK is out Beezhul swings at Rimesnap and hit! knocks a sizable chunk of wood out of their form. This is immediately followed up by knocking more undead birds out of the air, and dispersing the flock! PURPLE IS OUT!

She does feel whole again, and reinvigorated in this fight. Faethor pops out from under the swarms of crows, catching Rimesnap in the bark with his gouging claw. Hit! The zombie crow flock migrates just above Gitaena and Elidathas. All at once they lower their flight elevation until they envelop the two pathfinders, and unleash a barrage of swarming pecks on them. It's all the two can do to cover their faces to avoid a rotting, undead beak in the eye! Swarming pecks, piercing damage (DC 17 basic Reflex save): 1d8 ⇒ 3
