Taking a much-needed relaxing break in between escapades, four gun-toting adventurers post up in a dingy bar in one of Alkenstar's entertainment districts. Right across the street at a theater, people flood inside to catch the premiere of a highly-advertised play, but what comes out of the theater is far more dangerous. As people scatter to safety in the dusty streets, its up to the group of gunslingers in the bar to set things right.

This short Pathfinder 2nd edition adventure written by Michael Sayre is intended to be completed in a single session and includes four 3rd-level pregenerated gunslinger characters, who make use of the exciting new equpment and rules found in Pathfinder Guns & Gears, whose backstories and motivations tie closely to one another. This adventure can be easily incorporated into various virtual tabletops, run off of digital devices, or printed out and played at a table.

"Head-Shot the Rot" is sanctioned for use in Pathfinder Society Organized Play. The rules for running this Adventure and Chronicle sheet are available as a free download (963 kb PDF).

Pregenerated characters for this adventure are also available as a free download

Perhaps better without the pregens

3/5 —

Having played this with a sniper pregen, it really gives a bad impression of the class/way. Dealing 1d6 damage per turn because of having to reload is absolutely not fun. To make things worse, none of the pregens have any decent healing so if one PC goes down it easily snowballs into a tpk.
If I run it, I will only run with custom characters.

I love it!

5/5 —

This scenario runs about 2.5-3.0h. It is utterly fun. Flexible enough in how it is structured that the GM can adjust what happens with what the PCs do. The pregen are not perfect but totally fit for purpose! (I almost like gunslingers now!)
I have one regret only, that it is not repeatable.
Will likely replay just for the fun of it!

They need to be. That is the point of the product. I'll advocate internally.
Aaron, the digital assets are still not added to the download. Could you please follow up on this product?

I have asked the webstore to correct the error again.

(For anyone who was wondering, this update also has the correct sheet for Zakzak with his spoon gun.)

How playable is this with 5 or 6 players?

Hello, I'm sorry, but can you clarify one thing? AoN says that reinforced stock has finesse trait, and these pregens say that it hasn't. Where is truth?

I really wish this or Guns & Gears had been paired with one of the premium Pathfinder Battles sets. It's impossible to find decent miniatures for gunslingers, especially once you go beyond human ancestry. Give me a ZakZak miniature!

(Or a partnership with Hero Forge, with some race options that match Pathfinder 2 ancestry art, and some of the more unique guns.)

Doc Featherton pregen Stealth (T) should be +9

I haven't played this yet, but judging by the tone of the blurb I'm willing to bet that Michael watched From Dusk Til Dawn immediately before writing it.

I really hope I'm right xD

I don't know about immediately before, but I've certainly watched it more than once.

In addition Doc's Reinforced Stock should also be +9 , they are trained in martial weapons giving us +5, and +4 from Dex as Reinforced stock has the Finesse trait

I loved how well this plays with 4 Gunslingers of different ways.

Now just fingers crossed for an all Kineticist adventure where each is a different element.
