A Pathfinder Bounty designed for 1st-level characters.
Everyone loves Winter Week! But a witch in a quiet town isn’t finding the preparations for the big holiday feast as joyful as usual, and she’s overwhelmed by all the work left to do. As the PCs respond to her request for helpers, can they ensure the festivities go off without a hitch?

I GM'd this for a table of 5 completely brand new players; no one there had any experience with any RPGs. (I also GM'd it for a table of relatively experienced Pathfinder 2 players. They had a fine time) New players had a lot of fun, but there's one point in the rules of the bounty that seemed off. There's a point where the player can make a crafting check IF they're trained in medicine or nature. (Or if two characters have the two skills, they can work together) That type of check doesn't seem to appear in Pathfinder 2 in any other adventures, and it seemed a little too complicated for something that's aimed at brand new players.
As long as the party is balanced, there really shouldn't be any issue, and only minor if not balaned. When I played, I was a frontlining swashbuckler (there were no other viable players in our six-person party), and with combat, that brought me down a few times, but no issue otherwise with the NPCs. As a GM, I had balanced parties that had a lot of fun with the story and relative ease in combat - even had one person sing the holiday anthem from this bounty.
Would solidly recommend to any player or GM, new or not.
I have started GM'ing with the Bounties with Play by Discord. I am so excited every time I see another one coming. I am going in withdrawal though, a whole month to wait?? ;) Do we know where in Golarion this one is happening?

We will find out on the 30th. I will however say I wish this holiday themed adventure was released earlier then the very last of the month.
