For those preparing to run Quest for the Frozen Flame, I'd suggest Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's Reindeer Moon, and to a lesser extent The Animal Wife, in addition to Jean Auel's Earth's Children series.

I requested this on the old site's Map subscription pages, but I'll say it again since there's a new site. The spoiler tagged link to maps on every society scenario product page is so useful that it deserves a reverse lookup equivalent!

Every map product page should have a spoiler tagged link that hides which scenarios use it, with links to those scenarios. I am convinced that someone, somewhere, sometime, brought the wrong map to where their group met, and wished they could just find an alternate scenario to run from their laptop using the physical map they had at the time & place. Implementing this feature is sure to be a tedious pain, but the cost of doing so vs. the utility and potentially, the easy money from the free cross-promotion seems like it should have decent ROI. With year-end being a slow time, this might be a good data entry task for folks to tackle from now to 2026, so here's hoping. Maintaining it would probably also not be too bad, once it’s started up, since there are only so many scenarios, and they only use so many maps each. Also, merely by collecting the information internally, the Society devs can be inspired to use underused maps to keep making novel scenarios!

The new website has broken the link to the product/forum page for The Dead God's Hand. The link to its thread still exists in the Product Discussion forum, but it goes nowhere useful that I could see.

Depending on the exact story beats you're trying to hit, it may be worth considering nations over in the Dragon Empires:

• Bachuan, Children of the Revolution had a very strong Red Guards / Cultural Revolution vibe, though this is toned down in 2nd ed.
  
• Chu Ye, Kingdom of the Oni
  
• Kaoling, the Hobgoblin nation
  
• Po Li, where religions other than the state-sponsored worship of the emperor are suppressed.
  
• Wanshou, Post-Apocalyptic Kraken-Ruled Swampland

The Get the Latest Adventure Path on the Starfinder AP page still links to Drift Crashers.

Thanks for pointing this out! Can you tell me which page your "Get Latest Adventure Path" was on and link me to it so I make sure to tell the team to correct the correct incorrect link? (I have said this once before, and I'm gonna keep saying it until the problem is resolved because it is still fun to say.)

Sure, it's the link just above the subscribe link here.Just below the paragraph that begins "With two complete..."

So is the 2nd Cheliax AP getting previewed soon?

Before Hellbreakers gets a preview? Not likely.

Did they say if the part 2 was going to be immediately after Hellbreakers release?

They did say the AP after Hellbreakers follows on in a way that you could use it as a direct sequel with the same group of PCs. They also said that the releases would become quarterly. So depending on how you mean your question, the answer is either yes or no.

Guilt of the Grave World needs its own subforum.

So what is product PZO14007?

Here' s the Players Guide

Looked cool, and also not yet quite ready, since many page number references were still placeholders.

This was an obscure one! Starfinder Second Edition Player Character Folio: Pizza on the console might cause your starship to gain the glitching condition.

I sure hope this gets mentioned at GenCon 2025!

Gatewalkers AP Compilation: The truth is out there.

Unchanged from the original run, I see.

There does not appear to be a link to this subscription on the Standalone Adventures page. I had to click the link on the Gatewalkers SE product to find it.

Sadly no mention of this product at the 2025 PaizoCon keynote.

Pathfinder Lost Omens: Shining Kingdoms: Oh dear, oh dear, I wish I had never seen that filthy sword at all. From T. H. White's The Once and Future King, appropriately.

Shades of Blood: Here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws. A lyric from Ohia's Farewell Transmission, by Jason Molina, apparently.

Less than two weeks until the keynote at PaizoCon; who knows if it's already been filmed. I sure hope they remember to mention this adventure!

Well, the PaizoCOn keynote has now been officially scheduled. I sure do hope they remember to mention this adventure!

No, I thought Murder in Metal City is Level 1 only, from what Thurston and Jenny said on the recent Roadmap video.

The first SF2e AP (or as close to an AP as they do nowadays) will be Guilt of the Graveworld, expected October 2025. (Paizo 2025 Catalog, p. 147 product numbers PZO24006-HC and -SE. ISBNs: 978-4-64078-711-7 $44.99 and for the special edition 978-1-64078-712-4 $64.99). The prices are lower than Scoured Stars or Mechageddon, so more likely this is just an adventure. In the presentation they didn't detail it, or mention the name, though Thurston teased some art in the last minutes of the video that could not reasonably be for anything else.

Rival Academies: Piled higher and deeper.

Spore War: Not a quote, just the epitaph "RIP Treerazer: 1989-2025"

Erik Mona confirmed he handed the script for this adventure in this week!

It is now with development to edit, review, coordinate art, illustrations and the cover, and it will soon be put on the schedule!

I am so happy!

And in fact this is what I've been developing for the past week or two. Was wary about mentioning this to manage expectations is all.

It's been on the schedule in one way or another since the start, years ago. We don't share our internal schedules, though, but things are for sure moving on this one. Hopefully we'll have more info to share on it soon, so stay tuned!

So, we're six months since you hoped to have an update "soon", and three months or so out from PaizoCon. Sure hoping the development is on track!

Did anyone catch which AP issues cover Hellbreakers?

It would be nice to get the final cover art for this, since the other two issues in this AP have theirs up.

I liked how Carrion Crown opened with a funeral, we should do that again!

I would like to see a wedding, actually.

What’s wrong with waking up next to total strangers with missing time and bright blue tattoos, i ask you?

Hey now, Gatewalkers is getting a hardcover reprint next year!

Am reading Roger Zelazny's LORD OF LIGHT and did my first yoga class in almost 5 years yesterday, and boy oh boy, would a Vudran adventure w/ rakshasas would be a lot of fun.

A travel AP about starting around Qadira and heading eastbound would be cool. Your suggestion would also work well with a Sinbad-style voyage.

Earlier, I wrote:

^The Runelords Strike Again!? The Infernal Empire Strikes Back? Heist of the Crown?

Here's a Runelord idea: A new generation of Runelords has arisen, but rather than staying secreted away in demiplanes or castles, these brazenly move among the public, actively moving the levers of political power and swaying the masses with crude yet glitzy demagoguery, as they seek World Domination through Political Action.

A Runelord striking north into the Linnorm Kings would be a fun Viking-based AP.

Oh I like that. A Viking AP would be a fun redux to Skulls and Shackles... instead of being a morally gray pirate AP run a morally gray Viking AP, striking south at Varisia or even further south into Ravounel or Cheliax. Scratches a very similar itch in my mind.

Actually, not even "morally gray." Within Norse culture of the time, Vikings were upstanding heroes.

Save us oh Lord, from the wrath of the North men.

I wouldn't want Viking sea raiding AP. Vikings raiding seems like it would be too easy for a GM to just home brew, without any specific tie-in to the Golarion setting. Now that I think about it, I remember that Frog God Games put out The Northlands Saga Complete for PF 1st edition.

I'd much rather have The One About The Coast Guard, where the PCs are on a boat and do good works of some kind, for some reason. Although Spore War is likely to decrease the appetite for an elf-heavy AP for a while, one angle I'd suggested for this would be an AP where the PCs are on an elven naval vessel based at The Mordant Spire or Arsmeril and oppose Belimarius's claims to the Mierani Forest. I'd also like an AP where the PCs are soft-exiled from Holomog and they take their boat off the south edge of the map.

Have the names of the other two volumes in this AP been announced? I know James Jacobs said that he was the author of the middle volume.

This sounds like an interesting way to explore a particular area or story.

Speculation: The higher-level continuation suggestion will suggest taking things in a nautical direction (duh), with the eventual climax being a showdown in Gholinom, with the objective of seeing to it that the alghollthus never open the Passage Outward.

I'd like to take this opportunity for thread necromancy to thank Paizo for the various APs I'd say were good matches fro my requests far up thread. In particular, I'd say Quest for the Frozen Flame, Gatewalkers, Stolen Fate, Season of Ghosts, Wardens of Wildwood, Curtain Call, and Spore War all had elements responsive to my some of my theme requests, and I appreciate it.

Guns and Gears is getting a remaster, so keep hope alive.

I have never heard of this adventure path. When was it announced? Does it take place in Azlant? Is it a mythic adventure path?

We'll (hopefully) have a more proper preview of the upcoming Shades of Blood Adventure Path at some point later this year. We're still working out how we want to handle doing 4 Adventure Path announcements a year when traditionally we had 2 and did them during Paizocon and Gen Con, something that the pandemic disruption of conventions also threw into chaos.

We have not yet announced any mythic Adventure Paths for 2nd edition.

PAX Unplugged in early December seems like it might be a good occasion for an announcement. Early in the year, there's also MAGFest and Katsucon, but they're not really as close to TTRPGs. Perhaps DragonCon and PAX Unplugged?

Imagine my surprise to open my box to find a NEW CATALOG!

It's been _such_ a long time since Paizo's had one!

It was kind of a strange place to learn of the NPC Core book coming in March, for me.

I See a February release gets its spotlight, but I wonder about the NPC Core announced for March I saw in the 2024 Paizo catalog I got in my last subscription!

Since GenCon just happened from Thursday through Sunday, I wouldn't expect much today and maybe not much tomorrow either. Breaking down the display and traveling back to Seattle take time; and Paizo is usually closed on the weekend, so they might be shorthanded or closed for some schedule flex.

Suggestions for the future: Parking Structures (years ago, the National Building Museum had an exhibit dedicated to this; the early and mid-20th century ones more varied than I expected), Police Headquarters, Courthouse, Gymnasium, Museum, Graveyard (this could be a good one to include a gazebo as an Easter egg), Public Art Installation (perhaps a bronze skittermander in a town square), Cafeteria, Space Elevator Anchoring Point, Reactor Control Room, Machine Shop, Vehicle Dealership, Fountains, Pipeline Compressor Station, Hydrocarbon Refinery, Beauty Salon/Day Spa, Orbital Defense Platform, Arcology, Skyscraper Girders, Automat, News Studio, Brutaris Pitch, Semiconductor Fab, Electricity Substation, Particle Accelerator, Biohazard Containment Facility, Clocktower, Telescope Observatory, Neutrino Detector.

Perhaps this year's GenCOn will have more luck than last year's.

Here's to hoping this is when Dead God's Hand breaks radio silence.

Pathfinder Wardens of the Wildwood AP: It's not easy being green.

Building the index would probably be more tedious and boring than making the AP commercials, but it still seems like it would be worthwhile.

Just to boost the signal from the PF maps page, I thought I'd repeat my request/suggestion here.

It would be really great if the product pages of the maps had a reverse lookup like the spoiler-tagged links in the organized play scenario pages. So each map could have a spoiler link to what adventures, if any, use that map. It might even be useful to the organized play developers, too!

What with Godsrain and all, I sure hope this product gets a mention at Friday's keynote!

The Spire of Nex Adventure Path

by Erik Mona

Here's to hoping that The Dead God's Hand gets a mention in the PaizoCon keynote this year!

Starfinder Mechageddon!: Do you remember love? From Macross, of course.

WIll this be in print, but short like a Free RPG day product, or is this digital? I can't tell from the price and the description wasn't really clear.
