Pathfinder Society Scenario Intro 1: First Steps Part I: In Service to
Lore A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st level characters. In your first mission as a Pathfinder agent, the head of the Grand Lodge sends you on a number of missions throughout the metropolis of Absalom, pitting you against traps,thieves, and even an unruly devil, all in the pursuit of knowledge. Novice Session 3 Del C

Pathfinder Society Scenario Intro 2: First Steps Part II: To Delve the Dungeon Deep A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st level characters. You venture for the first time into the massive haunted dungeons beneath an abandoned siege tower in the deadly Cairnlands, where you will experience firsthand the true dangers of being a tomb-delving Pathfinder. Novice Session 4 Del C.

Pathfinder Society Scenario Intro 3: First Steps? Part III: A Vision of Betrayal A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st level characters. Dispatched on an envoy mission overland from Absalom to port city Escadar, you must weather the harsh wilderness of the Isle of Kortos before you can hope to meet with the representative of the elusive gillmen, and only then come face to face with the greatest threat to the Pathfinder Society. Novice Session 5 Del C.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #3-01: The Frostfur Captives A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for Levels 1-5. Tasked with escorting a group of goblin prisoners from their camp to civilization for interrogation by the Pathfinder Society, you must protect them not only from the beasts and hazards of the wilderness, but themselves. Novice Session 6 Del C.

Pathfinder Module: We Be Goblins! A most unusual adventure for 1st-level goblin characters. The Licktoad goblins of Brinestump Marsh have stumbled upon a great treasure fireworks! Yet unfortunately for them, the tribe member responsible for the discovery has already been exiled for the abhorrent crime of writing (which every goblin knows steals words from your head). To remedy this situation, the Licktoads leader, His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad, has declared that the greatest heroes of the tribe must venture forth to retrieve the rest of the fireworks from a derelict ship stranded in the marsh. In order to prove themselves as the Licktoads bravest, the PCs must complete a series of dangerous dares, from swallowing bull slugs and braving the dreaded Earbiter to dancing with Squealy Nord himself. Yet even once they’ve proven their mettle, the adventure is just beginning. For the ship in question is far from uninhabited, and Vorka the cannibal goblin would like nothing better than a few tasty visitors….
Many other Card, Board, and Miniature games!

Ettis the Giant
Ettis is the product of a conjuring gone horribly wrong. As a young wizard, Ettis attempted to conjure a demon of the outer world to be his slave. No one is quite sure what went wrong, but the results are clear. Ettis was partially absorbed by the demon, or partially absorbed it, and was twisted and warped into a being of chaos. Now, he wanders the wastes of the outlands preying on unwary travelers and small farm animals.
See him in all his glory here … http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=yGSXiEymWes

So as you can see, we have lots of events. Bring your gang and come on! We still have room in our flea market. Write me for information. Be sure to order your t-shirts with your registration!

Eastern Front Studios is Up and Running! Check out one of the newest and most dynamic fantasy product lines to come along this year.

We are a group of miniature enthusiasts, we like them so much that we started our own miniatures company! We feel that most miniature companies make so many figures of the same subjects that they all seem to all look alike. Our approach is to produce minis of unusual subjects or of common subjects done in unusual way. We think you will like our take on the “same old mini” and on our never-been-done-before minis.

Our sculptors include seasoned professionals such as Jim Johnson, Jason Wiebe, Drew Williams and talented newcomers like Massimo Zamboni, Leandro Ventric, Alejandro Ramirez. We currently have 5 lines of figurines. ‘Dungeon Crawl‘ is a series of miniatures suitable for any fantasy role playing or fantasy war game. ‘Fathoms Deep‘ is the line of miniatures for our Fathoms Deep underwater skirmish game that is under development, though most of the figures will work equally well in other fantasy games. ‘Myths of Legend‘ a line of 54mm scale figures of gods and mythic heroes. ‘Battle Scar” a line of minis on slotted bases to fit into your favorite fantasy war game. ShadowPort a line based on our upcoming RPG world and products.

Free shipping on all orders through 12/31/2010

You can check out great miniatures here www.easternfront-studios.net
