A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1-4.

Although the Society was unaware of what existed within the false moon Salvation's End when it obtained exploration rights, Starfinders have since identified a vast, uncharted megacomplex within. The Society's ready to launch its first major expedition into the interior, yet there is one slight complication: in order to fund its initial survey missions, the Society accepted a grant that requires this first mission be televised by an Eoxian reality show. What is already be a momentous mission for the Society is only exacerbated by the mandatory presence of an unliving camera crew—not to mention the interference of the live studio audience in orbit! Can the PCs uncover the secrets of Salvation's End while upholding the Society's publicity deal (perhaps becoming celebrities in the process)?

Content in Live Exploration Extreme! is a continuation of the Starfinder Society special, Starfinder Society #1–00: Claim to Salvation.

Among the Best; ZO!

5/5

Without going into much this module feels like it is a mash between the running man and all the worst European Reality shows thrown together. It is a lot of fun and gives players a lot to work with. Go into this one with an open mind and you will have a blast.

EXTREME LIVE ACTION!!!!

But on a more serious note; this module lets a lot of the less popular classes shine as you can do a lot with non-combat skills and spells to win victory! Enjoy it, it's a gem!


5/5


One of the best things Starfinder has to offer

5/5

I could kick myself for not writing a review earlier.


Very entertaining

5/5

One of my first SFS experiences was playing this, just thoroughly enjoyable throughout. Memorable encounters and characters, a lot of opportunity for good RP.


5/5

This scenario is a direct sequel to #1-00: Salvation's End, and also has ties to #1-05: First Mandate. It continues with #1-20: Duskmire Accord 9.

This adventure is populated with a ton of entertaining characters. From the crew, to Zo!, and the people met while exploring Salvation, this is a scenario that’s overflowing with fun, engaging, social encounters. It’s full of personality, and I guarantee you’ve never played anything like it before. Aside from the wonderful ‘reality t.v.’ schtick it’s got going for it, the adventure itself -– the things you find in Salvation -– are really, really surprising.

Spoiler:
This scenario does an awesome job of playing up the quirky reality tv experience, including pulling characters aside to ask prying questions, and having the studio audience vote on how some situations should play out. It's a blast!

I cannot express how much I loved this scenario. One of my favourites, for sure!

John and Thursty, you know you guys are distracting me in my march to 5 star? I’ll never get there by Paizo Con, if you keep tempting me with such delicious SFS scenarios. Aaaaarrgh!

So let me get this straight: The Eoxians have reality shows?

I am so looking forward to this scenario! But first a word from our sponsors.

Are you tired of your enemies getting the drop on you? DrowTek has you covered with the latest in advanced cloaking technology that will give you the edge against friend and foes alike.

Starfinder was filmed in front of a living-impaired studio audience in orbit.

I just hope I get to ask them pesky questions in between fights.

Keeping up with the Eoxians!

Oh, good, something new to watch. I haven't found a good show to binge after Eoxian Idol went downhill in Season 7.

What maps will this call for? I.e. Do I need to order any Pathfinder maps?

I really want to see this played live over twitch, with John as GM and (ideally) Thursty as a player. And I want actual people watching the livestream to be able to act as the reality TV orbiting audience in some way.

You've got several weeks. MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!!


The minute we started playing SF about 2 months ago the icon pc started doing this very thing

It does feel very SF

Grand Lodge

So, pushed back a month and swapped with February Scenario? Guess I need to rethink the final slot at FlintCon 2018 now =/

Wayfinders

So since it has been pushed back a month, any chance we can get it to be 3-6 instead of 1-4? Those that played the First Mandate would really like a chance to play it. With 10 modules and two story arcs avialable, many people will have leveled out of range.

Even with the delay, the ability to change this scenario's Tier is entirely improbable with the time left. Also, as we've learned with Pathfinder Society, we want to keep a strong number of Tier 1-4 scenarios available at launch, to ensure that new players always have a chance to get a game in.

#1-05 Minor Bit:
If your concern is with regards to the Chronicle sheet bonus provided from this scenario, no worries. We'll be using that specific boon (and this specific NPC) in various different situations. So this won't be a "one and done" use of the influence boons.

Thanks for the response. REALLY looking forward to the module.

Exo-Guardians

Please by released in time for Con of the North. I scheduled to run this one multiple times.

Also, no scenario tags?

Paizo Employee Starfinder Society Developer

No scenario tags on this one, though it's suggested the PCs have played Starfinder Society #1–00: Claim to Salvation, first!

As for Con of the North, I believe this scenario is scheduled to be released shortly after that event, due to our reshuffling of this and Sanctuary of Drowned Delight. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Map query:
Hello Thurston--Is the "Elemental Dungeon Multi-Pack" you listed the "Elemental Planes Multi-Pack"? Yes, apparently I am now one of those people who buys flip-mats just because they're coming up in an upcoming SFS scenario . . .

Ah!

Map Answer:
Yes, it should, be the Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Elemental Planes Multi-Pack, specifically the Earthy section.

Luckily my Icon Cosplayer is still 1st level ^_^

Preorder expected March 2018 - hoping its not a long delay on this one! need some camera action...


OMG!
Just downloaded this.
So amazing!
Can't wait to GM it!
Seriously, this takes everything I loved about X-Crawl, got rid of the 'meh' bits, then made it all 110% cooler.
OMGWTFBBQ!

Erm. I mean. This looks very nice.

You realize that you can bring the Salvation's End chronicle sheet even if it's not assigned to that Icon and garner the benefit from it, right? Says so right on the Chronicle sheet.


I'm totally new to Pathfinder/Starfinder, and to organized play in general, and I'm interested in trying Starfinder in particular because it's still in its first season and I'm kind of a completionist, but with this specific scenario being a sequel it doesn't really seem like an ideal jumping on point. If I skip it for now, am I likely to find opportunities to play 1-00 to catch up and then play this one in the future, or should I just look for standalones to play and new plots to begin and not worry about this one?

Pathfinder Rulebook, Starfinder Society Subscriber

Star finder in particular, thus far, has been phenomenal at alluding to future scenarios with past ones. I would not suggest starting with this one. Opportunities for play depend heavily one where and with whom you play so, can't give advice there.


I'd check out your local Society branch for play opportunities and activity. Usually the Venture Captains are running a facebook group where they announce all the public scenarios.

I'll probably play this without having played 1-00 but my character knows Zo! from First Mandate as well.


Dot. So much dot.


This is purchased but is not showing up in my downloads?

I've just posted my full review, but I'll add my plea for more reality show action.

Minor Spoiler:
I hope the reporting conditions persuade Luwazi to undertake more joint ventures with Zo!

Not really but it seems that after the Scoured Stars, the Starfinders are still strapped for cash. We may have no choice but to do it again...

I swear sometimes I think there should be a Zo! tag.
