Hello Conflag Attendees!
We are announcing some changes to the Conflagration Pathfinder Schedule. We have been informed that PSS4-EX Day of the Demon will not be ready in time for our show so we will be forced to remove it from the schedule. We very sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you but hope you are still interested in coming to the con.
To help fill the hole this creates in the Pathfinder schedule, we will be adding two additional adventures! We will be offering part one of Thornkeep: The Accursed Halls in slots 1 and 5 and part two of Thornkeep: The Forgotten Laboratory in slots 3 and 6 (where PSS4-Ex was previously offered). Please adjust your pre-registration schedule accordingly and thank you for your understanding.

PFS Sanctioned Thornkeep: The Accursed Halls
By Richard Baker APL 1-2
Buried beneath the castle of Thornkeep lie strange passages and chambers that once belonged to a cruel Azlanti wizard of eons past. Goblins have begun excavating the so-called Accursed Halls in hopes of finding a lost goblin artifact, though their constant battles with the undead that haunt these corridors has left them blind to the dungeon’s other myriad wonders.
PFS Sanctioned Thornkeep - The Forgotten Laboratory
By Jason Bulmahn APL 2-4
The goblins of the dungeon's upper level took more than one trinket from the ancient laboratory that dwells beneath them. The wizard that created these items also performed dangerous experiments, many of which have gone out of control over the years. Stranger still, someone appears to be using the ancient equipment with sinister results.

Except that's not exactly true since Erik Mona stated on the other 12th-level thread that they are looking at high level play options above 12th-level.
hogarth wrote:
Interesting. I'm not sure why it wouldn't be the same for other cons in other cities, then.
This was also two different cities in two different states, so it is even in different areas as well. I suspect that you just must have different levels of play activity in different areas of the country.
Back when Living Greyhawk was started the regions were created by levels of play. Its why the midwest regions were made up of only one or two states each where the western and southern regions needed several states to get up to the same levels of play. I would wager that if you ask each of the people asking for High Level play where they live, most of them are probably in the midwest, where the people who say they don't know anyone who is high level, they likely are not from the midwest.
hogarth wrote:
Were these tables of mostly strangers, or were they folks who played together in a home game? It wouldn't surprise me to see a cluster of 12th level characters if they came from a home game.
I guess I would say neither. I knew most of the people at the tables (but I con a lot and have been around the OP world a lot) but none of the people (with the exception of the married couple) came to the cons to play together.

Yep, and that's the first one it appeared in, from what I can see. It wasn't in the version before that, from 9/15/09 (which is the earliest version that I have).
Hopefully that ends the "You knew about the cap you were in for when you started the campaign" arguement. I think those arguing in favor of a few limited above cap adventures are not arguing they were somehow short changed when the cap was lowered to 12, but rather than some people would like to play these higher level events occassionally and we would like the campaign to consider having them (rather than making 6th or 7th 1st-level PC).
Gallard Stormeye wrote: Sanakht Inaros wrote: From what I've been reading and hearing, there simply aren't enough retired characters for them to really do anything yet. Doesn't mean that they won't. Pretty much.
Like I said a moment ago, I'm at PaizoCon right now and there is not enough interest to make a table go off. What makes you think there is such an abundance of interest globally to justify the investment it takes to make more high level adventures? That's interesting, as I have managed to run/play them at two different conventions in the midwest and we had no problems making a table. Possibly there is just a lot more play in the MW than on the coast?
Mark Moreland wrote: That's not what I said. Ah, my mistake. I thought you were trying update your records to figure out the actual level of the average PC in campaign (since that was where the discussion was focused at the time). Either way, it's still good if people send you the info you are looking for.
Thanks for your attention Erik. I look forward to seeing what you put together.

People in this thread have asked "what do we (the players) need to do to for higher level events to happen". Those in charge have responded "we need data to back up that move; buy, play, and most importantly report modules to reflect this desire for high level play". To which those gathered respond: "You method is flawed/invalid and that isn't a good enough answer. Give me another one." Repeat as necessary until you reach 150+ posts.
Not exactly true. The original poster said "Why don't we have High Level play?" To which the answer was given, "Because according to our metrics there are no high level PCs." So posters began to say "Your metrics are wrong because I am high level." To which the response was "Well then, report your games correctly." To which players responded, "We would love to. How, without cheating and creating fraudulant events, would you like us to do so since we were not the event coordinators and we haven't been able to get them to report them?"
The response we were waiting for was just given by Mark Moreland a few posts ago. Everyone should email their actual complete play histories to hyrum.savage@paizo.com and Hyrum will sort it out. (That being the post immediately before yours)
I strongly encourage every single player who's data is incorrect to email their correct play histories to Hyrum so Paizo can properly base their descions off of the true numbers for the campaign.
Mark Moreland wrote:
We've heard the request for post-12th level events. Every week we look at the sales numbers for every PFS scenario ever. And just as often we look at trends in reporting. So if you've already made your request on the boards, do everything you can to show us the need for these additional high-level events through the other two channels. Until all three metrics support high level play, it will remain a future possibility and not something we're actively devoting time and resources to.
I go back to my original question a few posts ago, how would you like players to fix the problem? I want to do what you want us to do to fix this, so tell me what that is. If con organizers don't report tables and our badgering them fails to make it happen, where would you like us to send the data? I, as would many others, be more than happy to let you know our play history so you could make more informed descions.
Basing your plans off of a data gathering system you know is deeply flawed is generally a poor idea (trust me, I'm a scientist). At best you might be able to draw some overall trends, but you certainly cannot say "There are almost no high level PCs" when you know people aren't reporting games (and assuming the players are not cheating they stop playing at 12th-level so their "reported" level will NEVER hit 12).
K Neil Shackleton wrote:
Can you be sure that every session is being reported, and that the picture is 100% accurate? Of course not.
But you can try to make it as accurate as possible.
What would the best mechanism be for this? I see only two adventures reported of all of the PSS I've played and I have a 12th-level and several other PCs, including an 11th. If we can't rely on the various conventions we attend to report the games we play, would you suggest that individual players contact the camapign with a complete list of their play history? That seems like the only solution to your reporting problems if you are using reported games as your sole measure of high level play demand.
Just tell me where you want these play histories sent and I will get the word out in our local area (where there are roughly a dozen players with 1-2 12th level PCs).
Erik Mona wrote: I'm curious to hear from those folks who'd like more high-level play opportunities to speak to what exactly they would like to see us do?
To be up front about my play, I play a lot; likely more than most. I have a 12th, an 11th (who I could have retired, but I was waiting to play one last adventure with some friends), a 5th, and a 2nd. My play is woefully under reported by the conventions and gamedays I have attended. I have slightly more experience running OP campaigns than FrozenTundra and roughly on the order of Erik. I have a vested interest in playing PSS as I am not allowed to get a high level fix by playing LFR (as I manage that campaign, and have been an admin in one form or another on three other major OP campaigns). I have written more than 100 adventures for OP campaigns, and some day hope to write one as good as Erik's As He Lay Dying for LG. That's the perspective I am coming from when I answer these questions.
Erik Mona wrote:
If these options are not sufficient, what would be?
I think that the Eyes of Ten adventures were a good start and I enjoyed both playing and running them at two different conventions and a home game. Each time I ran them, players asked me when/if the players would be able to advance their PCs to level 13 or beyond. This leaves me to believe that there is an under reported mass of players who would be interested in some high level play.
Erik Mona wrote:
Adding high-level tiers to all adventures?
I think this would be a poor choice. We all know that scaling an adventure across many levels causes not only some of the combats to break down, but also causes the story to suffer (aka the little old lady who has both dire rats and ancient red dragons menacing her garden). High level play requires extra attention when writing and paying it, and I wouldn't want it to pull attention away from the good adventures PSS is already trying to put out (and I applaud the increasing story, but dislike the number of fights we've had against a single leveled humanoid who is instantly defeated by one failed save, but that is an arguement for another time).
Erik Mona wrote:
Adding more high-level adventures at the expense of low- or medium-tier events?
All OP campaigns have to balance this so based on experience I don't think we should have large numbers of high level adventures (As examples, LFR does 3 per year and LG allowed each region 1 per year). There just are more low level players, so you need more low level adventures. That said, I don't think three a year is too much to ask. They may have to be classified as two round adventures simply because high level adventures may take longer to play (combats take longer and established PCs are more emmersed in the story and RP more), but that shouldn't mean we don't have them.
Erik Mona wrote:
Special high-level scenarios at Gen Con? (High-level "megadeath" events, etc.?)
I would love this. The stories these have created from LC, LD, LG, LA, HoR and other campaigns are the stuff of legend and Erik was there for many of them. ("Six men enter, no men leave!") I think maybe having one of the adventures at PaizoCon and replayed at Gen Con (and therefore perhaps one less "regular" high level adventure), you would get a lot more people to come and play there. I for one don't play much PSS at the big cons as I know I can always pick them up at the local cons, so my time is filled with rarer games and sadly lots of meetings and seminars. A "Temple of Elemental Evil" style event would draw a lot more players and judges to PSS.
Erik Mona wrote:
What is it, exactly, that would satisfy your desire for more high-level PFS play?
I would like to see three to four of these high level (maybe level 11-14) adventures a year, with perhaps one of them being a convention special (which is released for home play later on). I am interested both in tougher combats and for more detailed role-playing and story. I love the wheels within wheels types of complicated plots. I once had a good late night discussion with Bulmahn before he moved west about what level of quality you should write and adventure for, and I refuse to believe it does our hobby any good to write the simpliest, generic adventures. Sure everyone can play them, but after awhile they don't come back. Please continue to increase the quality of PSS events (I hope to see them reach the quality of the Adventure Path adventures which are excellent), and don't forget there are lots of us who haven't been reported but have high level PCs and would love to still play them.

Play the heights of the D&D 3.5 rules system in Paizo's PATHFINDER campaign:
– PSS2-01 Before the Dawn—Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise: You are sent to Aspis Consortium-infested Bloodcove to gather supplies for a nearly doomed Pathfinder mission nearby. Disguised as ordinary merchants, you have little time to gather what you need and get out before the Consortium discovers and destroys you. The Bloodcove Disguise is the first scenario in the two-part Before the Dawn campaign arc. Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-02: Before the Dawn—Part II: Rescue at Azlant Ridge is the sequel. Written by Crystal Frasier. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).
– PSS2-02 Before the Dawn—Part II: Rescue at Azlant Ridge: With supplies in hand, you rush from Bloodcove to the Pathfinder expedition site at Azlant Ridge only to find it under siege. You must brave the newly discovered halls beneath the ridge in order to find the key that might save everyone. Rescue at Azlant Ridge is the second and final scenario in the Before the Dawn campaign arc and is the sequel to Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-01: Part I: The Bloodcove Disguise. Written by Joshua J. Frost. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7).
– PSS2-03 The Rebel's Ransom: The Ruby Prince of Osirion sends you to the Parched Dunes to find what became of a secret Pathfinder expedition sent there to recover artifacts for the Ruby Prince himself. What you find there may very well end the Pathfinder Society as you know it. Written by Jason Bulmahn. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5–6 and 8–9).
– PSS2-06 The Heresy of Man I: The First Heresy: For more than 2 millennia, the nation of Rahadoum has lived under the Laws of Man that decreed "let no man be beholden to a god." While this has led to relative peace without religious strife, it has left the nation devoid of divine healing and magical methods to provide succor to those ravaged by disease or injury. When a new and mysterious plague begins ravaging the coastal villages of Rahadoum, you are sent by the Pathfinder Society to escort a cleric of Sarenrae into the heart of the plague in order to protect a secret Pathfinder research project. Getting there means smuggling the cleric in as contraband and when the Pure Legion, Rahadoum's defense against religion, get wind of your arrival, you must fight not only to protect the cleric, but to keep yourselves from being executed for violating the First Heresy. The First Heresy is the first scenario in the The Heresy of Man campaign arc. Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-07: The Heresy of Man—Part II: Where the Dark Things Sleep is the sequel.
– PSS2-07 The Heresy of Man II: Where Dark Things Sleep: When a Pathfinder team in the godless nation of Rahadoum disappears, the Pathfinder Society sends the PCs to investigate. Deep beneath the sands of the small village of Wadi al-Hesr, a long imprisoned evil—responsible in part for the destruction of an ancient empire—now stirs and threatens the entire region with a deadly plague. Can the Pathfinders survive a sinister game of cat-and-mouse and escape with their lives? Where Dark Things Sleep is the second scenario in the The Heresy of Man campaign arc. It is the sequel to Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-06: The Heresy of Man—Part I: The First Heresy and is followed by Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-09: The Heresy of Man—Part III: Beneath Forgotten Sands.
– PSS2-08 The Sarkorian Prophecy: When a novice Pathfinder in the Grand Lodge of Absalom discovers an account of a long lost prophecy which may hold the key to defeating the Shadow Lodge, a team of brave agents heads into the heart of the Worldwound to recover the document. Not only do the forces of the Abyss and the demon-tainted environment stand in their way, but so does a rival team of Pathfinders set on recovering the Sarkorian Prophecy first.
– PSS2-09 The Heresy of Man III: Beneath Forgotten Sands: Beneath the desolate deserts of godless Rahadoum, the Pathfinder Society races against time to beat the traitorous Shadow Lodge to an ancient Jistkan citadel. But their rivals aren't the only obstacle in the PCs' way: the long-lost ruins teem with terrible outsiders set on manipulation and destruction, including a self-proclaimed avatar of the div god Ahriman. Beneath Forgotten Sands brings the three-part Heresy of Man series to a stunning conclusion. Beneath Forgotten Sands is the third and final scenario in the The Heresy of Man campaign arc and is the sequel to Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-07: The Heresy of Man—Part II: Where Dark Things Sleep.
– PSS2-10 Fury of the Fiend: The Pathfinder Society once again sends a team of agents into the deadly ruins of Rachikan in western Cheliax. This time, however, the Pathfinders must infiltrate a Hellknight encampment to gain access to the lost city's lower levels. Can they work their way past the suspicious soldiers and survive the ancient terrors that lurk below? Fury of the Fiend is the spiritual sequel of Fingerprints of the Fiend, though the scenarios can be played in any order.
– PSS2-11 The Penumbral Accords: The daughters of Absalom's mysterious Blakros family have long been among the most pursued maidens in the Inner Sea. Now the family's matriarch approaches the Pathfinder Society to help her break a centuries-old pact with the denizens of the Plane of Shadow to save her twin daughters from a life of servitude at the hands of the Onyx Alliance. Heading into the fan-favorite adventuring location of Blakros Museum, the PCs have only a short amount of time to break the Penumbral Accords and solidify the Pathfinder Society's ties to the powerful Blakroses.
– PSS2-12 Below the Silver Tarn: In the rural Menador Mountains of southern Nidal, the PCs find themselves in a fog-enshrouded mining town facing a terrible fate. Silver Tarn, on the banks of which the settlement of Stom's Claim stands, has grown a mind of its own. Reaching out with strange abominations of the deep to siphon the souls of the stubborn populace, the lake hopes to release a powerful fiend bound centuries earlier by Arodenite clerics. If the PCs can't stop the Silver Tarn Entity, Stom's Claim and much of western Avistan may soon fall to a fate beyond comprehension.
– PSS2-13 Murder on the Throaty Mermaid: While on a routine mission to escort a dignitary to the mysterious Mordant Spire aboard a disreputable smuggler's ship, the PCs find themselves embroiled in a murder mystery that could jeopardize the Pathfinder Society's relationship with the isolationist elves who call the citadel home. Can the cunning Pathfinders discover who among the ship's crew of scum and villains is responsible for the crime in time to clear their own names? This murder mystery upon the open sea features a mechanic allowing for a different killer each time it's run to ensure that no amount of word of mouth will spoil the investigation for any team of canny players.
– PSS2-14 The Chasm of Screams: When the Decemvirate sends the PCs on a mission into the desolate Mindspin Mountains to retrieve a much-needed alchemical reagent from a hermitic ex-Pathfinder known as the Phitoness of Axioms, the players soon find themselves deep in the mythical howling caves commonly referred to as the Chasm of Screams. Can the brave adventurers survive the harsh environment and defeat the demented thralls of the powerful, icy master of the oft-avoided cavern? Or will their cries of pain join the chorus of tormented voices that already echoes from the Chasm of Screams?
– PSS2-15 Shades of Ice I: Written in Blood: Description to come. Written in Blood is part one of the three-part Shades of Ice campaign arc. Pathfinder Society Scenario #2-17: Shades of Ice—Part II: Exiles of Winter is the sequel.
– PSS2-16 The Flesh Collector: Description to come. A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 7th to 11th level characters (Tiers: 7-8 and 10-11).
– PSS2-MotFF Master of the Fallen Fortress: A dungeon-based adventure for 1st-level characters. The ruined siege castles outside Absalom have long beckoned adventurers looking to make a name for themselves. Now an earthquake has cracked open one of these fabled ruins, and its lost mysteries and fantastic treasures lie exposed for the first time in centuries. But the tower's empty halls once more echo with living footfalls, and a new master has claimed the Fallen Fortress as his own. Can the PCs find a way to get inside its shattered walls? What ancient dangers and fresh threats will they encounter inside its crumbling chambers? And will the PCs be able to defeat the current Master of the Fallen Fortress? Master of the Fallen Fortress is a dungeon-based adventure for 1st-level characters. It also serves as an introduction to Pathfinder Society Organized Play (Paizo's constantly evolving, world-wide megacampaign). The adventure involves exploring an ancient, ruined tower and rescuing the captured Pathfinder held within. This adventure is set outside the great city of Absalom. It also contains a preview of the six new iconic characters from the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Advanced Player’s Guide, available August 2010.
– PSS2-TGH The Godsmouth Heresy: An urban and dungeon adventure for 1st and 2nd level characters. Deep below the anarchic city of Kaer Maga, someone—or some thing—has begun stealing corpses from the city’s most prestigious tomb, the Godsmouth Ossuary. Fearing the worst, the clerics of Pharasma in charge of maintaining the crypts quietly call for aid, not wanting to risk their own members in combating whatever horrors may have crept in from the tunnels and hidden chambers of the legendary Undercity. Yet when the PCs venture below the closed-off sections of the crypt, what they find may be more than they bargained for. For beneath the infamous crypt lies a temple from an ancient empire devoted to sin, and a former Pharasmin cleric who’s weathered his goddess’s wrath to create an army of undead minions, their dead flesh standing ready to support his heretical plans. The Godsmouth Heresy is an adventure for 1st-level characters. It takes place beneath the cliff-top city of Kaer Maga, an ancient prison colony turned den of thieves and refugees, fully detailed in Pathfinder Campaign Setting: City of Strangers. In addition to the adventure, which features ancient tombs, horrifying sin magic, and a crazed alchemist, this module also contains statistics for the new rune guardian constructs and a map and overview of the Godsmouth Cathedral, the city’s primary temple devoted to the Lady of Graves. This adventure is set in the frontier region of Varisia in the Pathfinder campaign setting.
– PSS56 The Jester's Fraud: Pathfinder Society Scenario #56: The Jester's Fraud. Life in Taldor is fraught with peril, especially for the crumbling noble houses of the Taldan countryside. One such house, the Bourtze Family, has fallen on hard times and they've informed the Pathfinder Society that, in exchange for a small sum of money, they'd be willing to part with a treasure trove of lore about Qadira's Grand Campaign, the 300-year invasion of Taldor. On your arrival, things quickly turn for the worse and instead of evaluating the worth of a few scraps of historical paper, you must instead retrieve one of the most dangerous artifacts in the empire. Written by James F. MacKenzie. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5–6 and 8–9). This scenario is designed for play in Pathfinder Society Organized Play, but can easily be adapted for use with any world. This scenario is compliant with the Open Game License (OGL) and is suitable for use with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.
Enjoy the RPGA premier 4e D&D campaign, Living Forgotten Realms:
– ADAP2-01 Monument of the Ancients: Panicked refugees are pouring into the port city of Phlan, fleeing from barbarian attacks in the Moonsea North. Something ominous and ancient drives the horse nomads to attack their neighbors. Poised to shatter the ancient monument keeping him from Faerun, a lost god from Toril's past sends an agent from the Elemental Chaos to herald his long-prophesized return... A Living Forgotten Realms adapted adventure set in Phlan for characters levels 11-14. To run this adaptation, you will need a copy of the adventure, which is found in issue 170 of Dungeon Magazine. Because of this, at least one person at the table needs to have a subscription to D&D Insider. We recommend that you allow a minimum of eight hours of playing time to complete this adventure.
– ADAP2-02 The Spiral Gate: All Faerun's fate is being shaped in Netheril. You can hide behind your belief that this is all about other lands, other people, other lives, but in the end, your lands and your people will be caught up in this struggle like all the rest. So decide now. Which side are you on? A Living Forgotten Realms adapted adventure set in Hillsfar, in the Moonsea region, for characters levels 14-17 (the adventure is written for level 16 characters, so any P2 table can play, but there is no low-level/high-level split in the adaptation). To run this adaptation, you will need a copy of the adventure, which is found in issue 180 of Dungeon Magazine. Because of this, at least one person at the table needs to have a subscription to D&D Insider. We recommend that you allow a minimum of eight hours of playing time to complete this adventure.
– ADCP3-1 Swarm of Chaos: Cleaning the infestation beneath the boughs of Cormanthor reveals that you have only scratched the surface of the true corruption. Demon cultists have infiltrated Myth Drannor and the ancient land needs your help to stop their nefarious plot. This is a two-round continuous-play Living Forgotten Realms Battle Interactive set in Myth Drannor for characters of the Heroic and Paragon tiers (levels 1-20). We expect the adventure to take about 8-10 hours of play time to complete. This adventure is combat-intensive; players who do not enjoy combat encounters are unlikely to enjoy this adventure. It is recommended, but not required, that at least three of the characters be members of the same Adventuring Company. This adventure takes place following the events of SPEC3-1 and SPEC3-2, and concludes the Roots of Corruption story that began in those two adventures, but the adventures need not be played in any particular order. This adventure is sanctioned for public play only; it is not available for private/home play.
– CORE2-04 Lost on the Golden Way: The Golden Way is one of the longest and most famous trade routes in Faerun. It stretches from the city of Telflamm on the Easting Reach all the way to Shou Lung in the exotic land of Kara-Tur. Many caravans stop at the fortified outpost of Uzbeg, near the Lake of Mists. Uzbeg has a reputation for safety and security -- so why did all of your wagons disappear last night? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Hordelands for characters levels 1-4.
– CORE2-11 The Sign of Four: Fragments of an ancient, shattered tablet have surfaced all across Faerun. Its origin is shrouded in the prophecies of a dread sorceress, but what little is known of this artifact's power is enough to concern even the Coronal of Myth Drannor. Those who seek answers must embark on a quest into the realm of eternal winter. Your greatest threat may not be the wrath of Thrym the frost titan king, but rather the moral choices you will make in order to find the truth. A two-round Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Elemental Chaos for characters levels 17-20. This is the first part of the Shattered Secrets series, which concludes with CORE2-12 The Sschindylryn Heresy (levels 17-20). We recommend that you allow a minimum of eight hours of playing time to complete this adventure.
– CORE2-12 The Sschindylryn Heresy: A death goddess' relic lies shattered across the Realms. The drow from Sschindylryn now seek to rejoin the fragments and uncover its secrets, in defiance of the Spider Queen. But what they will unleash is not an ally against Lolth, but a new blight upon the world. And all it needs to awaken is one word. A two-round Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Underdark for characters levels 17-20. This is the second and final part of the Shattered Secrets series, which began with CORE2-11 The Sign of Four (P3). Playing the two adventures in order is strongly encouraged. We recommend that you allow a minimum of eight hours of playing time to complete this adventure.
– CORM2-03 Secret of the Queen of Thorns: The Queen of Thorns is coming to take the throne of Cormyr, but there is still time to bolster the kingdom's defenses. The race against the Queen's gathering forces is on! A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Cormyr for characters levels 14-17. This is the second part of the Queen of Thorns trilogy, which began in CORM1-6 Curse of the Queen of Thorns. The trilogy concludes with CORM2-4 Fury of the Queen of Thorns.
– CORM2-04 Fury of the Queen of Thorns: The kingdom of Cormyr is cursed. Prophecy warns that the Queen of Thorns will end the reign of the Obarskyr family and seize the throne for her own. Dare you stand with King Foril in his attempt to defy this terrible fate? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Cormyr for characters levels 17-20. This adventure concludes the Major Quest that began in CORM1-6 Curse of the Queen of Thorns (P1) and continued in CORM2-3 Secret of the Queen of Thorns (P2). It is strongly recommend, but not required, that you play these three adventures in order.
– DRAG2-3 Of Wild and Darkened Waters: A slew of unprovoked attacks on vessels has disrupted maritime trade on the Dragon Coast. Initially thought to be the next move in an escalating war between powerful criminal factions, evidence points to a new, unannounced player in the game. Scrambling to neutralize this hidden threat, the Nine Golden Swords, Fire Knives and Westgate merchants have forged an uncomfortable alliance aimed at re-establishing the status quo. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set on the Dragon Coast for characters levels 4-7.
– EAST2-01 Ends and Means: Less than a century has passed since the fall of Underhome; by dwarven standards, the sting of that loss is still fresh. A small but vocal group of dwarves actively seeks out confrontations with the local drow, seeking to drive them back into the depths of the Underdark. Vengeance is one thing, but at what point does it cross the line and become a senseless, endless vendetta? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the East Rift for characters levels 4-7.
– EAST2-03 Nightmares: Citizens of Hammergate are suffering sleepless nights, with visions of undead horrors invading their dreams. To one gnome, these nightmares have a special meaning. You must discover the secret of her visions or no one will ever sleep peacefully again. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the East Rift for characters levels 11-14.
– ELTU3-1 Good Intentions: A string of grisly murders has hit the town of Triel. Word on the street is that insanity grips the townspeople and a new cult is to blame. Are these just whispers in the dark or is there something more sinister behind it all? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Elturgard for characters of the Heroic tier (levels 1-10). This adventure is the first part of the Sinister Intentions Major Quest. This is a roleplay-intensive adventure with multiple paths for the PCs to potentially explore. We recommend that you allow 5-6 hours of play time, if possible, instead of the normal 4 hours of a convention slot.
– ELTU3-2 Blue Wounds: In the wake of the recent conflict against the Plaguechanged horde, the paladins of Elturel find themselves and their city pushed to the breaking point. The corruption of the Spellplague yet lingers in many parts of the city, and Elturel's citizens feel overlooked while Torm's faithful focus on vengeance instead of guardianship. In this chaotic environment, hero and villain alike must seek ways to work together for the common good -- or perhaps the appearance of charity merely hides an ulterior motive. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Elturgard for characters of the Heroic tier (levels 1-10). This adventure is the first part of the Controlling Chaos Major Quest.
– EPIC3-1 The Glorius Hunt: Corellon's realm of Arvandor is known for more than its majestic forests and splendid islands. The exalted of Arvandor track down and destroy abominations in an eternal event known as the Glorious Hunt. When Corellon and his exarchs receive more than they bargained for, will you join the hunt? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Myth Drannor and the Astral dominion of Arvandor for 21st-level characters. This adventure marks the premiere of the LFR Epic Campaign. This is a three-round continuous-play adventure and is expected to take about 12-15 hours of play time.
– IMPI2-04 Goblins Strike Back: The death of their leader Ekrilliek was supposed to end the threat of the goblins of Brikklext. Instead, it led to an opportunity for the demon Morthak to seize control of the goblins with promises of sweet revenge for their fallen chief. Now, with the aid of Morthak and his powerful allies, the goblins are preparing to launch a decisive attack against the people of Impiltur. Will heroes rise up to stop the impending invasion? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Impiltur for characters levels 17-20. Characters who have played IMPI2-2 Wetwork and/or IMPI2-3 Rooting out Corruption may find this adventure particularly interesting.
– LURU2-3 Forgotten Crypts, Hidden Dangers: A collapse in the famous Lady’s College of Silverymoon reveals a network of forgotten catacombs. Engineers are sent down to ensure the stability of the university building, but more broods in the tunnels below than wood rot and crumbling walls. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Luruar for character levels 1-4. First part of the Forbidden Lore series, ending in LURU2-4 (levels 4-7).
– MOON2-1 Darkness Falls Over Moray: Only a sliver of light separates those who profit and those who perish on the island of Moray. When that light is extinguished, it is difficult for even the greatest heroes to find their way. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in The Moonshae Isles for characters levels 4-7.
– SPEC3-1 Roots of Corruption: Infestation: Two years ago, the city of Myth Drannor was overrun with vermin. While adventurers were able to purge the infestation, bigger problems at the time ensured the event was quickly forgotten. Now a familiar fungus spreads its tendrils through the ancient woods of Cormanthor, and this time it's proving harder to kill. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Myth Drannor for characters of the Heroic tier (levels 1-10). This adventure occurs at roughly the same time as SPEC3-2 Roots of Corruption: Dark Seeds and is related to the events chronicled in SPEC1-3 Ghosts of the Past: Hive of Corruption.
– SPEC3-2 Roots of Corruption: Dark Seeds: The Coronal of Myth Drannor is deeply concerned by the spread of a toxic fungus in the wilds of Cormanthor. She has asked for volunteers to enter the Citadel of Fungi, a place so toxic none have even approached it in living memory. Can you eliminate the source of this unnatural corruption before it is too late? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Myth Drannor for characters of the Paragon tier (levels 11-20). This adventure occurs at roughly the same time as SPEC3-1 Roots of Corruption: Infestation and is related to the events chronicled in SPEC1-3 Ghosts of the Past: Hive of Corruption.
– WATE2-3 Noble Dangers: In the finale to the Restoring Splendor major quest, you are asked to investigate an earthmote hanging over the Sword Mountains. Although the mote itself poses no apparent risk, it might harbor dangers to Waterdeep. Great heroism will be needed to face and defeat your adversaries in the skies. An ancient threat has returned, and the fates of House Moonstar and all Waterdeep may lie in the balance. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Waterdeep for characters levels 11-14. The previous adventures in this Major Quest are WATE2-1 Gilding a Noble and WATE2-2 Closing a Deal.

The expedition's charter is to bring back any information about the horrors within and what might be causing the increase in Spellplague activity.

These adventures occur at various locations within the region of Elturgard, and take place shortlybefore the events of ADCP2-1 The Paladins' Plague. Certain key NPCs and locations appear in most or all of the SPEC2-1 adventures, but the individual SPEC2-1 adventures are not directly connected to each other (each is a standalone adventure). Players who participate in one or more of the SPEC2-1 adventures before playing ADCP2-1 might find that they understand certain events a bit more clearly, but this is not required, and we do not expect anyone to play the five SPEC2-1 adventures in any particular order. Even if you never play ADCP2-1, the SPEC2-1 adventures were designed to be logical, consistent, and complete on their own. The five SPEC2-1 adventures are treated as separate adventures for purposes of the replay rule: an individual PC may play each of the five SPEC2-1 adventures when the character is of an appropriate level.

You want a bigger and more pleasant kingdom, with more rivers and a wider variety of trees. You want a Dominion! In all directions lie fiefs, freeholds, and feodums. All are small bits of land, controlled by petty lords and verging on anarchy. You will bring civilization to these people, uniting them under your banner. But wait! It must be something in the air; several other monarchs have had the exact same idea. You must race to get as much of the unclaimed land as possible, fending them off along the way. To do this you will hire minions, construct buildings, spruce up your castle, and fill the coffers of your treasury. Your parents wouldn't be proud, but your grandparents would be delighted."

Taken to the famed Court of Whispers, birthplace of the accord, Witch Hunters from throughout Europe have attempted to aid her to no avail.

Can they triumph against the forces of the Adversary before the veil between worlds is torn asunder and devils walk the earth?
– WHDP-Gate - The Gates of Flame: During the reign of Solomon, the world was bedeviled with creatures that plagued mankind. Attacking from land and sky, these beasts dwelt in the shadows and hunted men like animals. One of these Nephilim, as they were known, was named Algar. He commanded a host of daemons and spirits that rampaged through the kingdom of Israel and beyond. Many tried to stand against him, but all failed, paying the price for their failure as their souls were ripped from their bodies to roam the ether in torment until a wise magus imprisoned Algar within the Gates of Flame. For 2000 years, the hidden servants of Algar have sought the fiend's release, and only the Witch Hunters stand in the way.

Navigate brutal intrigues in the Shattered Empires of Paradigm Concepts’ LIVING ARCANIS (D&D 3.5 rules):
–LA-AP6-03 Storms Over Argent Seas: The Standards of the Legions have been a recognized symbol of Imperial military might since the dawn of the First Empire. But what is truly known about these powerful relics of a lost Age of Glory? Truthfully, not much. So when you are asked to assist in the deconstruction of one o the oldest standards, you are truly headed into the deep, dark realm of the unknown. The Resistance in Grand Coryan is at last prepared to undertake a dangerous gambit involving the Standard of the Legio Lex Talionis. Can the Legio, the Inquisition it serves, and even perhaps Grand Coryan itself, survive the sundering of this particular standard? Lend your voice, sword arm or trained finger to the struggle and tip the balance. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for APL 11-21. Characters below 7th level may not play this adventure.
–LA-IK-COL-02-01 Many Voices: A simple task – recover an item from a long-hidden tomb. But is any task truly simple when there are so many voices calling out to you? PCs with the Disfavor of Marden val'Dellenov from Scent of Prosperity and Ruin will not be able to complete this adventure without the assistance of those without such disfavor. This is a Living Arcanis STANDARD adventure, designed for 1st to 16th level characters (APL 2 through 15). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-IK-EMS-02-01 The Cold and the Dark: What is the essence or archaeology? Some say archaeology is the rediscovery of lost treasure. Some say archaeology is the “leg work” of writing history. Some say archaeology is just a hobby for the rich and idle. There is some truth in all these explanations, and as a result archaeology can be hard to quantify. What is it worth? What risks are appropriate in its pursuit? The disaster at Dig 17 has seemingly terminated any chance to understand how the people of the ancient monastery lived and died - their tale lost and never to be retold. For at least one archeologist from Milandir that was unacceptable. But despite precautions others have also begun to hear of Dig 17 and their interests do not lie in learning the old stories. Will disaster converge again upon the abandoned ruins? Or could swift heroes ride down destructive elements and see that the border between Canceri and the Hinterlands remains untroubled? This module is the third of the Shadows Over the Hinterlands series and it is helpful, though not required, to have played the Emerald Society adventures of I.C. 1029, particularly LA-IK-01-01 THE LONG SHADOW and LA-IK-01-03 TWILIGHT ALWAYS FALLS. Be warned, the rulers of Canceri are repressive and respond poorly to individuals who openly challenge their authority. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to 12th level characters (APL 2 through 11). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-IK-PAL-02-01 Taxes: Do you dare work for the most feared group on Onara? Not the Silence, not the Voiceless Ones – the tax collectors! Several tax collectors have gone missing. What horrors might be uncovered? This LIVING ARCANIS CRAWL adventure is designed for 2 to 10 level characters (APL 2 through 11). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-OCR-02-01 The Shield of Sand: A diplomatic contingent from the Elorii enclave of Entaris recently visited Grand Coryan for talks with the Emperor. Two of the delegates mysteriously vanished, having supposedly gone to Old Coryan alone. Why did they go, and what happened to them? Although official apologies for failure to protect the dignitaries have been offered and accepted, representatives of the Mother Church want to discover the truth behind their disappearance. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to 12th level characters (APL 2 through 13). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
– Living Arcanis Replays: We will have most of the available LA and IK modules available for play. Don’t miss out on any of the Arcanis goodness!

Battle the minions of the Adversary during colonial times in Paradigm Concepts’ WITCHHUNTER: DARK PROVIDENCE:

Rumors filtering out of the Carolina Colony tell of colonists and savages being attacked and torn asunder by vicious beasts in the dark of night.

–DP2-01 Red Tide: An ordinary voyage takes a grim and unexpected turn, leaving a small group of Witch Hunters to face a mysterious, unseen enemy with only their wits, faith, and courage. Lives hang in the balance…and perhaps more than mere lives.
–DP2-04 Cargo: Off the coast of La Florida, the waters have always seemed warm and inviting. Recently, however, you have learned not to trust the gentle waves, for comfort often comes immediately before betrayal. Someone thirsts for revenge, so there is little time for rest.
–Witch Hunter replays: Missing an old adventure? Have friends who want to come along? We have the module and the judges.
–Playing Witch Hunter for the first time? You can find more information on the campaign and rules for generating a character at: http://darkprovidence.net/.

–Agricola: In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats? The rules include a beginner's version and an advanced version. Agricola is a turn-based game. There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvest phases (after turn 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14). Each player starts with two playing tokens (farmer and wife) and thus can take two actions per turn. There are multiple options, and while the game progresses, you'll have more and more: first thing in a turn, a new action card is flipped over. Problem: Each action can be taken just once per turn, so it's important to do some things with high preference. Each player also starts with a hand of 7 job cards (of more than 160 total) and 7 item cards (of more than 140 total) that he/she may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy. Speaking of: there are countless strategies, some depending on your card hand. Sometimes it's a good choice to stay on course and sometimes it is better to react to your opponents actions.
–Powergrid: The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities. Multiple map boards will be used in this slot. Expect to play 2 games.
–Puerto Rico: The players are plantation owners in Puerto Rico in the days when ships had sails. Growing up to five different kind of crops: Corn, Indigo, Coffee, Sugar and Tobacco, they must try to run their business more efficiently than their close competitors; growing crops and storing them efficiently, developing San Juan with useful buildings, deploying their colonists to best effect, selling crops at the right time, and most importantly, shipping their goods back to Europe for maximum benefit. The game system lets players choose the order of the phases in each turn by allowing each player to choose a role from those remaining when it is their turn. No role can be selected twice in the same round. The player who selects the best roles to advance their position during the game will win.
–Stone Age: Featured Tournament!! $50 in Prizes!! Players struggle to survive the Stone Age by working as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers. As you gather resources, and raise animals, you work to build the tools needed to build your civilization.
–Ticket To Ride: With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn. Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets, goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route.
And Much, Much More, including:
– Pickup Games: Have a slot off? Want to play a board game? Got enough people to play and bringing a DDM constructed warband? Well square off against each other!
