Final cover is up and product will be available tonight!
New cover styles? Will there still be a way to tell which scenarios belong to the 'plot' and which don't?
Excellent, will the other season 4 scenarios be updated with this new cover style?
I am loving the connection to Varisia that permeates this Season. It is a GMs dream, at least for those that run APs.

Cover is freaking AMAZING! Having read the scenario I am fully pumped-up and excited about running this over the weekend! My mind was blown by how excellent some of the encounters are written, how precisely chaotic a particular piece of block-text is written, and just how random the monsters are written!
Will totally write a review after running this, and will post some GM tools to the PFS GM boards.

Quick Question.
The Chronicle Sheet offers a special Boon to gain a Fairy Dragon Imp Familiar. My 6 Cleric was wanting to take a Level of Sorcerer to gain a Familiar, and then the Imp Familiar Feat to take advantage of this, then continue on with Cleric.
The Boon says that you need Caster Level 7, Imp Familiar, and the ability to gain a new Familiar (through the Imp Familiar Feat), as well as an alignment within one step of CG. All of that would be met by my Cleric, and I am just wanting to do it because it seems cool flavor-wise.
However, under Imp Familiar, it specifies in the flavor text (not the prerqs) ARCANE Caster Level, which would mean it is impossible for me to get this Familiar, and as it is asigned to this haracter only, (unless I DM the game later), I basically can never get it. Officially, does the Boon make an exception for the Arcane Caster Level (to just Caster Leel as it says), or does it imply Arcane Caster level like other Imp Familiar Familiar's do?

Quick Question.

The Boon does not specify ARCANE Caster Level, just Caster Level, which is what I'm asking. Was that intentional, to allow more classes to be able to use this Boon, or was it accendentally not included, makinging it only Sorcerers, Witches, and Wizards (and maybe one or two others) that can benefit from it?

Thanks for the responce. While it would have been cool to finally have someting like that, like I said, I can see it both ways. It is kind of disappointing that only some classes can benefit from boons like this, but maybe one day everyone else will get some nice flavor boons along these lines, too.

I have to agree, dissapointing. I just played this game with my druid at Who's Yer Con,
Was a pretty nice module though, GM was hamming it up and it was nice to squish some Twigjacks after the mess in Tides Of Twilight. ;D

The boon seems highly problematic:
|

HeroLab may be saying no because normally in PFS you can not choose it as a familiar at all.
A long as your son's Sorcerer is 7th level or higher, he is NG, CG, or CN, and has the ability to gain a Familiar normally, he is good to go. :)
It's that last bit that's the problem. Edelen says that the Sorcerer has the Dragon Bloodline, meaning it doesn't have a familiar. Only Witches, Wizards and Arcane Blooded Sorcerers can get Familiars.

Only Witches, Wizards and Arcane Blooded Sorcerers can get Familiars.
I would add that there may be other extenuating circumstances where it may not work. Despite the instructions, it seems that it may be more complex in some cases than simply adding the Improved Familiar feat, even for the correct type of caster.
Lastly...
Even if a draconic sorcerer can't have a "normal" familiar, having access to one that possesses some draconic angle seems to make sense. Oh well. The final word seems to be No.
