Welcome to my run of PFS2 Q20 - The Dacilane Academy's Show Must Go On! Please sign up >HERE<, then add your token, perception and initiative to the slides >HERE<.

This quest will award 2 XP, 4 days of downtime and up to 5 treasure bundles.

The Dacilane Academy often calls upon the Pathfinder Society to get them out of trouble, or to aid their students. Considering that many Pathfinders enroll their children in the academy, the relationship is one of mutual benefit. It’s therefore no surprise when the academy calls upon the Pathfinders to help make sure nothing terrible happens during the play that the students will be performing at a nearby theater, the Muse of the Rose. Recently, performances there have seen unfortunate accidents. No one has been seriously injured, but the performances were all ultimately ruined. It's up to the PCs to ensure that the Dacilane Academy's performance doesn't suffer the same fate, even if the have to prevent disasters backstage during the show itself.

Thanks for playing my game of Betrayal in the Bones at PaizoCon. I'm usually a pretty laid-back GM, but there are special rules for the convention that require me to be a bit harsh.

Most importantly, the game must be complete and reported by July 22. That means we have exactly 8 weeks to complete it. If it is not finished by then, then you get whatever you earned up until that point and nothing more - no grace period. Because of this, I will be relatively aggressive about botting people. Please include detailed botting instructions on your character sheet, ideally in a form at that can be cut and pasted into a post. If I cannot quickly determine what your character would do, I will put them on delay.

This scenario also has a hard mode option. This will make the game harder and possibly longer with no additional reward. I will only run hard mode if every player affirmatively indicates that they want to play it. Please DM me your answer rather than posting in the discussion thread. If anyone says "maybe" or "no" or does not answer, we will not play hard mode.

This game is a part of PaizoCon Online 2025. Please sign up >HERE<. Requires a valid ticket to PaizoCon.

Once you have signed up, you can sign in >HERE< and post a character introduction.

The game will begin on May 27 and must be finished by July 22.

Using misdirection and misinformation, the Pathfinder Society has cornered a pair of its old enemies—a demoniac and an assassin—in the Five Kings Mountains. However, the two have taken refuge inside a sacred dwarven burial ground sacred to Magrim, and their desperate defenses have stymied the dwarves’ initial assaults. It falls to a team of the Society’s best agents to overcome these obstacles, avert impending blasphemies, and end these villains’ treachery forever.

The world-renowned Blakros Museum has outdone itself, gathering an unrivaled collection of relics from the Shining Crusade, a holy coalition that felled the greatest lich to threaten Golarion. When trouble befalls the exhibit mere days before its debut, the Pathfinders intervene, only to discover that one of the relics is key to averting a far greater disaster that has laid in wait for a millennium.

The story continues, first taking the Pathfinder Society to Lastwall's tangled Fangwood to earn the favor of a powerful celestial being and destroy a sinister curse. The PCs then return to the Solstice Scar itself for one final confrontation with the evil that dwells beyond—and a chance to end her villainy for good!

Unfortunately, these magical traditions have been lost to time and government erasure.

Enter the Starfinder Society! Explore the rotating ruins of Gadrathar Fortress, a shattered citadel floating miles above the surface of Tabrid Minor, on a quest for ancient wisdom and magical secrets.

Welcome to the PaizoCon 2024 run of PFS1 10-09: The Rasping Rebirth, for characters of levels 12-15. Feel free to dot in and have discussion in and out of character until game starts on May 28.

Over a century ago, hordes from the Abyss tore through a weak point in the Material Plane and surged forth onto Golarion, creating a corrupted and blighted land that would come to be known as the Worldwound. Legions of crusaders fought against the demonic incursion, containing it behind a wall of holy artifacts. IFive years ago, forces bolstered by Pathfinder agents pushed back a demonic siege and even reclaimed land that had long languished under demonic control. Other heroes finished the job, sealing the Worldwound and slaying the demon lord responsible for its creation, Deskari.

Yet the land where the rift to the Abyss once stood remains scarred and fragile, and on the Abyss itself, some artifacts and powers tied to Deskari remain unclaimed. One of the Pathfinder Society's most formidable enemies, the demon Koth'Vaul, is eager to seize upon these opportunities. Unless the Pathfinders thwart him, Koth'Vaul's will become even more powerful than ever before, and wreak truly terrifying vengeance upon the Pathfinder Society.

Since the defeat of Aslynn, the Waterfall has become more of a staple around the Grand Lodge, starting to hold strange, isolated meetings with leadership and seemingly putting together some plan. Her most recent request is that a team of Pathfinder agents journey to Hwanggot and meet with the underworld dragon, Valashinaz as a introductory team. Venture-Captain Yi Da Som arranged the meeting through Valashinaz's kobold assistant, Purepurin. Unfortunately, between then and the PCs arriving, Purepurin forgot about them in the midst of pickling recipes from goblins and creepy crawlies invading the vaults! It's up to the PCs to help Purepurin bring Valashinaz's vaults under control while she summons the dragon to ensure these introductions go off without a hitch!

With tensions rising between two Near Space civilizations, a host of historical sites are at risk of being caught in the ensuing conflict's crossfire. The Starfinder Society's been called in to catalog one such site believed to be the ruins of a now-defunct hobgoblin empire that may have ended during the Gap. Speeding into the distant star system, the PCs must navigate the politics of the escalating conflict and reach their target.

My child has been playing PFS for about two years now, and we are looking at letting them have a turn as GM. Definitely want to start small with level 1 or 1-4 bounty or quest. Looking for advice about something that would be easier for a preteen, both in terms of reading level and complexity of mechanics they will have to handle.

I am trying to put spell macros in my bios for PBP, but all of the tags are evaluated except dice. Is there a way to force them to appear as text, so I can cut and paste all the b's and ooc's directly from my profile into a game thread?
