Pathfinder Society Scenario #8-07: From the Tome of Righteous Repose (PFRPG) PDF

Announced for October!

Sorry, Liz. Beat you to it! I'm just really excited.

Oh hai

A 3-7 evergreen!? This sounds awesome. ^_^

^ Tombs, Orcs and a Lich? Plus its an evergreen! Very excited for this.

Is this the Confirmation for higher level threats? This sounds like the Confirmation but for higher level threats.

Can we get Janira Gavix killed again?

I have it on pretty good authority that she is in-tier for it.

A 3-7 evergreen? Really? Let it be true!!!

SQUEEEEEEE!!!!!!

Huh. Very interested to see how this will work.

Oh! Another Andrew Hoskins Scenario! Really looking forward to it!

VERY nice --
And in a lore-rich area too!
(I am hoping that we hear more of General Arnisant and the Shining Crusade. ^_^ )

I can't even imagine what the page count will be for this. Fascinating, and I know a player who will be ecstatic over the Ustalav element.

Woo hoo...Lastwall, and an Evergreen.

Now we are so happy, we do the dance of joy!

I think this experiment is going to be a success.

Just glanced over it, this looks very cool Andrew! I can't wait to run it. Kudos to you and the PFS team for this!

Shevar Besnik is my new favorite Venture-Captain.

Played this last night with 4 on the upper sub-tier. It has a nice story arc and integrates well with some of the early Pathfinder AP/Campaign content (Carrion Crown, especially), further developing an important storyline. We played a variant with exceptionally creepy monsters for Halloween that kept us on our toes! There are definitely some nasties in there! :-) We had fun, and it was a 4 hr. delve. I am looking forward to the next random run!

Just going to ask... why not just make three cool scenarios that can be played in any order rather than try fit so much cool sounding content between two covers?

Because an evergreen is meant to be replayed by the same players multiple times. Three separate scenarios would have less variance between playthroughs and be less useful as replayable scenarios, if they were even classified as such.

Also, the experimental part of this scenario is giving GMs more freedom in assigning encounters and tactics, since a major complaint about organized play is that there is no recourse to adjust the scenario on the fly.

In addition, three different scenarios could be played by the same characters three times each. ^_^

The way the story is structured, it could probably just be one non-evergreen scenario. Imagine that during the writing process an author brainstorms several possibilities, then chooses the best one. This scenario chooses the best dozen or so and leaves it in the hands of the GM to randomly select or choose what is best for their gaming group.

Essentially, GMs get access to all the crazy ideas the author has, instead of just one idea.

Might want to take spoilery questions to the spoiler-tagged thread in the PFS GM discussion forum.

Thanks for the replies, seems reasonable enough :)

I look forward to having a go at that part :)

** spoiler omitted **

CORRECT! (As usual.)

And yes, please bring any spoiler-y discussions to the GM thread.

So we can apply this scenario up to one time for each character regardless of the tier? or is just the lower tier replayable?

It can be applied to any Tier 3-7 character you play or as GM credit. The one copy per character rule also still applies.

thanks for confirming what I assumed :)

Still bummed that the General isn't a dog.....

I have a question about GMing this scenario multiple times. I've GMed this scenario twice. Both have been reported, but in my sessions list for the second session it says

"Player has already run scenario at session # 138 of event # 63471 A Muse N Games on November 08, 2016."

And the prestige for this session is reported as 0.

To me this implies that I DON'T receive credit for the second session. Could somebody clear this up for me? I've already run this scenario 2 additional times and applied the credit to future GM blobs so I'd like to know if I can keep applying the credit! Thanks.

Also, I LOVE LOVE LOVE this scenario

It is a known bug in the reporting system. For this scenario, ignore it.

How are we GMs supposed to handle the chronicle sheets? I take it we need to cross out all of the items not listed in the specific encounter arc treasure package?

The PCs should only gain access to the items they aquire. Cross all the others off.

Any tips for preparing this scenario? I'll be running it a few days from now and any tips would be helpful :)

I have a couple questions about applying credit from running this scenario as a GM:

1. Do I still have to cross off all the items that were not from the encounter arc I chose to run, or can I access all of these items because none of my characters were there?

2. Do PCs only receive the Worthy Foe boon affecting one of the four groups of enemies, based on which encounter arc they went through? How do you apply this boon to GM characters?

Aside from that, I'd just like to make the comment that this scenario was my first time GMing a table of PFS, and I think this scenario is really nice to have as a GM that doesn't have access to any other scenarios yet. Having one book that I can run forever is pretty cool.
