Play the heights of the D&D 3.5 rules system in Paizo’s PATHFINDER campaign:
– PSS07 Among the Living: Famed Pathfinder Bodriggan Wuthers disappeared from his dig site beneath the House of the Immortal Son in Taldor's gilded capital of Oppara. Once a grand temple to Aroden, the Immortal Son is now Oppara's most opulent theater. Sent to locate Wuthers, the Pathfinders must attend an opera with members of the Oppara elite in order to gain access to the secretive theater's dig site.

This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, 6–7).
– PSS08 Slave Pits of Absalom: Someone kidnapped Lady Anilah Salhar—the Chelish wife of Dremdhet Salhar, one of Osirion's many Grand Ambassadors to Absalom—and sold her into slavery. With Salhar holding delve permits over the heads of the Decemvirute, the Pathfinders are sent to assist the Osirian Ambassador. Venturing into Absalom's darkest corners to save Lady Anilah, the Pathfinders must face the secrets of the Slave Pits to avoid becoming slaves themselves. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5).
– PSS09 Eye of the Crocodile King: Arcanamirium transmuter Maren Fuln found a magically sealed amulet in the school's library and kept it as a shiny bauble. Little did he know the amulet contained an entity far worse than he imagined, and by unsealing it, he loosed a revenge-obsessed horror into the sewers beneath the school. Can the Pathfinder Society halt the beast’s plan in time, or will he build his army of revenge and sow chaos in Absalom? This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5).

Are the stories just tall tales or will the Pathfinders find themselves drenched in blood at Dralkard Manor? This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, 6–7).
–PSS11 The Third Riddle: When Pathfinder Colm Safan entered the Nethys-linked heart of the fabled dungeon known as the Ravenous Sphinx, the Pathfinder Society expected to solve one of Osirion's greatest riddles. Months passed with no word from Safan, and you and your fellow Pathfinders find yourselves dispatched into the desolate wastes of Osirion's notorious Parched Dunes to find the sphinx, find Safan, and uncover the mystery he sought.

When the local governor tosses Hadge into the brutal Porthmos Prison for a minor crime, your mission suddenly becomes a jail break. Will you free Hadge and uncover the location of the focus before the gangs of Porthmos tear him apart? This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5, 6–7).
–PSS13 The Prince of Augustana: When an old beggar shows up filthy and injured on the doorstep of the Augustana Pathfinder Lodge in Andoran and demands to be recognized as Andoran's one true Emperor, Venture-Captain Wallace is inclined to chase him off. But when the old beggar reveals a wayfinder and tells a tale of demons and portals to another world beneath the streets of Augustana, Wallace summons you from Absalom to investigate. Will you make it through sewers, swarms, and sanctuaries to uncover the truth or will the dangers of the Augustana underworld consume you forever? This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2 and 4–5).
–PSS14 The Many Fortunes of Grandmaster Torch: When four statues of unspeakable power were found in a tomb in Osirion and then stolen, the Pathfinder Society assumed they were gone forever. When they appeared again in the illicit inventory of a Qadiran smuggler in the massive trade city of Sedeq, the Society wasted little time dispatching you there to recover them. Finding the smuggler dead and a familiar face from Absalom responsible, your task quickly becomes a race to retrieve the statues before their brutal power can be unleashed on the citizens of the Satrap.

Powered by a crystal bone devil skeleton and legendary for trapping unwary travelers, the Society has a vested interest in studying and cataloging the source of its power. You have been sent deep into the deserts of northern Garund to enter the Mirage, but there's a catch! The Mirage only exists on Golarion for 24 hours every 100 years.

They've sent you into a wintry wilderness of primordial beastmen and snow creatures not seen below the snow line to do just that. With the Aspis Consortium also seeking the bones, the race is on to beat them to the top and, once the bones are recovered, to make it back down alive. Written by Tim Hitchcock. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5-6 and 8-9).

Offering an ancient lost text in return for assistance, the Black Marquis of Deadbridge sends you deep into the spider-haunted Echo Wood of the River Kingdoms to track down his missing pirates and recover an ancient treasure for the Society. You'll face brigands, pirates, spiders and more, but will you survive the perils of the Pirate Pact? Written by Matthieu Dayon.

The old and senile Bossell now relies on his assistant Fendel for everything, and the hapless assistant has disapeared into the vaults after reading his master's journal. You've been sent beneath the Lodge to destroy whatever it is that Bossell's lover has become, will you survive his secret or find yourself transformed as well? Written by Craig Campbell. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th to 9th level characters (Tiers: 5-6 and 8-9).
–PSS19 Skeleton Moon: When Pathfinder alchemist Andrax d'Aponte contracted a mysterious wasting sickness, he set his mind to feverishly researching the disease and its cures. With the rare skeleton moon hanging in the sky above Absalom, the Decemvirate sends you to an ancient siege castle outside the city to recover d'Aponte's research notes and inquire about his involvement in recent Pathfinder deaths in Osirion. What you find, however, is a man changed by madness and paralyzed by paranoia and fear. Will you survive the night of the skeleton moon? Written by Benjamin Wenham. This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1-2, 3-4, and 6-7).
–PSS20 King Xeros of Old Azlant: Panic grips Absalom when a huge crystalline sailing vessel appears suddenly in the harbor. Identified as the King Xeros of Old Azlant, the ship presents a great opportunity for the Pathfinder Society. You and your fellow adventurers are summoned by Venture-Captain Adril Hestram and dropped aboard the King Xeros to explore it and report back. Only, what you find isn't an empty vessel, but a sinister ship with a vile intent. Written by Greg A. Vaughan.

Navigate brutal intrigues in the Shattered Empires of Paradigm Concepts’ LIVING ARCANIS (D&D 3.5 rules):
–LA-AP6-03 Storms Over Argent Seas: The Standards of the Legions have been a recognized symbol of Imperial military might since the dawn of the First Empire. But what is truly known about these powerful relics of a lost Age of Glory? Truthfully, not much. So when you are asked to assist in the deconstruction of one o the oldest standards, you are truly headed into the deep, dark realm of the unknown. The Resistance in Grand Coryan is at last prepared to undertake a dangerous gambit involving the Standard of the Legio Lex Talionis. Can the Legio, the Inquisition it serves, and even perhaps Grand Coryan itself, survive the sundering of this particular standard? Lend your voice, sword arm or trained finger to the struggle and tip the balance. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for APL 11-21. Characters below 7th level may not play this adventure.
–LA-IK-COL-02-01 Many Voices: A simple task – recover an item from a long-hidden tomb. But is any task truly simple when there are so many voices calling out to you? PCs with the Disfavor of Marden val'Dellenov from Scent of Prosperity and Ruin will not be able to complete this adventure without the assistance of those without such disfavor. This is a Living Arcanis STANDARD adventure, designed for 1st to 16th level characters (APL 2 through 15). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-IK-EMS-02-01 The Cold and the Dark: What is the essence or archaeology? Some say archaeology is the rediscovery of lost treasure. Some say archaeology is the “leg work” of writing history. Some say archaeology is just a hobby for the rich and idle. There is some truth in all these explanations, and as a result archaeology can be hard to quantify. What is it worth? What risks are appropriate in its pursuit? The disaster at Dig 17 has seemingly terminated any chance to understand how the people of the ancient monastery lived and died - their tale lost and never to be retold. For at least one archeologist from Milandir that was unacceptable. But despite precautions others have also begun to hear of Dig 17 and their interests do not lie in learning the old stories. Will disaster converge again upon the abandoned ruins? Or could swift heroes ride down destructive elements and see that the border between Canceri and the Hinterlands remains untroubled? This module is the third of the Shadows Over the Hinterlands series and it is helpful, though not required, to have played the Emerald Society adventures of I.C. 1029, particularly LA-IK-01-01 THE LONG SHADOW and LA-IK-01-03 TWILIGHT ALWAYS FALLS. Be warned, the rulers of Canceri are repressive and respond poorly to individuals who openly challenge their authority. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to 12th level characters (APL 2 through 11). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-IK-PAL-02-01 Taxes: Do you dare work for the most feared group on Onara? Not the Silence, not the Voiceless Ones – the tax collectors! Several tax collectors have gone missing. What horrors might be uncovered? This LIVING ARCANIS CRAWL adventure is designed for 2 to 10 level characters (APL 2 through 11). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-OCR-02-01 The Shield of Sand: A diplomatic contingent from the Elorii enclave of Entaris recently visited Grand Coryan for talks with the Emperor. Two of the delegates mysteriously vanished, having supposedly gone to Old Coryan alone. Why did they go, and what happened to them? Although official apologies for failure to protect the dignitaries have been offered and accepted, representatives of the Mother Church want to discover the truth behind their disappearance. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to 12th level characters (APL 2 through 13). Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
– Living Arcanis Replays: We will have most of the available LA and IK modules available for play. Don’t miss out on any of the Arcanis goodness!

Battle the minions of the Adversary during colonial times in Paradigm Concepts’ WITCHHUNTER: DARK PROVIDENCE:
–DP1-06 Beasts of the Forest: "You bring darkness; it becomes night, and all the beasts of the forest prowl." Rumors filtering out of the Carolina Colony tell of colonists and savages being attacked and torn asunder by vicious beasts in the dark of night. The Governor of Carolina has posted £100 for the head of the beast, which is sure to bring all sorts of armed good-for-naught and scalawags.
–DP1-11 The Forgotten: In the village of Beaujois, everyone is having a wonderful time at the fair. Everyone, that is, besides the Witch Hunters who have newly arrived. What sinister force lurks behind the joyful music and the colorful streamers?
–DP2-01 Red Tide: An ordinary voyage takes a grim and unexpected turn, leaving a small group of Witch Hunters to face a mysterious, unseen enemy with only their wits, faith, and courage. Lives hang in the balance…and perhaps more than mere lives.
–DP2-04 Cargo: Off the coast of La Florida, the waters have always seemed warm and inviting. Recently, however, you have learned not to trust the gentle waves, for comfort often comes immediately before betrayal. Someone thirsts for revenge, so there is little time for rest.
–Witch Hunter replays: Missing an old adventure? Have friends who want to come along? We have the module and the judges.
–Playing Witch Hunter for the first time? You can find more information on the campaign and rules for generating a character at: http://darkprovidence.net/.
Prove your honor in Legend of the Five Rings’ HEROES OF ROKUGON:

– ST39 Courage Blurb TBA. A Low/Mid Rank adventure of role-playing and investigation. Part three of "The Code of Bushido."

Not a Role-playing fan? Would you rather sit around board with some friends? Want to take a slot off to relax? Enjoy our board games. We have both tournaments and games for fun!
–Agricola: In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats? The rules include a beginner's version and an advanced version. Agricola is a turn-based game. There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvest phases (after turn 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and 14). Each player starts with two playing tokens (farmer and wife) and thus can take two actions per turn. There are multiple options, and while the game progresses, you'll have more and more: first thing in a turn, a new action card is flipped over. Problem: Each action can be taken just once per turn, so it's important to do some things with high preference. Each player also starts with a hand of 7 job cards (of more than 160 total) and 7 item cards (of more than 140 total) that he/she may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy. Speaking of: there are countless strategies, some depending on your card hand. Sometimes it's a good choice to stay on course and sometimes it is better to react to your opponents actions.
–Powergrid: The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities. Multiple map boards will be used in this slot. Expect to play 2 games.
–Puerto Rico: The players are plantation owners in Puerto Rico in the days when ships had sails. Growing up to five different kind of crops: Corn, Indigo, Coffee, Sugar and Tobacco, they must try to run their business more efficiently than their close competitors; growing crops and storing them efficiently, developing San Juan with useful buildings, deploying their colonists to best effect, selling crops at the right time, and most importantly, shipping their goods back to Europe for maximum benefit. The game system lets players choose the order of the phases in each turn by allowing each player to choose a role from those remaining when it is their turn. No role can be selected twice in the same round. The player who selects the best roles to advance their position during the game will win.
–Stone Age: Featured Tournament!! $50 in Prizes!! Players struggle to survive the Stone Age by working as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers. As you gather resources, and raise animals, you work to build the tools needed to build your civilization.
–Ticket To Ride: With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical decisions every turn. Players collect cards of various types of train cars they then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination Tickets, goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds the longest continuous route.
And Much, Much More, including:
– Pickup Games: Have a slot off? Want to play a board game? Got enough people to play and bringing a DDM constructed warband? Well square off against each other!
