Hey guys!
Well it been a long time since I have been on these forums you know that whole life thing...
It gets in the way at times.
Anyway.
It has been ages since I have played pathfinder society so I was wondering.
I have an idea for a submission.
But I am not sure it is very pathfindery.
I am using it today in my own game but I am just not seeing an Indiana Jones movie about this idea.
So here is the premise.
Pathfinders went to retrieve a MacGuffin in Absolom but the government is getting a suspicious on this one, some of the noble houses send along some guards and of there own experts into this underground labyrinth under the city where MacGuffin is located.
Problem is that they cause a cave in.
So it's meant to be a trap heavy adventure with big boss with a difference.
So you have a whole lot of traps and hazards that are not mechanical (man made) or magical in nature, just results of the cave in.
So people can use a variety of skills to get around these.
Rather than just perception/disable device.
And some cave/sewer dwelling 'monsters' for kicks.
With the people being the bread crumb trail to the big bad with a difference.
So at the end rather than facing off against this huge bad guy the bad guy is the trapped people.
So it's not just lead them back the way you came it's unstable that's the first thing (or caved in depending on how things went)
And these guys have been arguing on what to do.
It's a Mexican stand off with three different sides.
Two noble house guys and the pathfinders.
Each of them want to try different ways of getting out but each is convinced that the other peoples way will kill them.
It was at the boiling point of people coming to blows over it.
People are all cabin fever and no one way looks best and with everyone's alter motives via secret slips at the start of the game things just got a whole lot more interesting.
I recon it could be really interesting but on the other hand like I said it's not very Indiana Jones movie.
So you recon I should write something up?
It would only be a side project if I did nothing serious but I just want to know is the idea worth perusing?
Sounds like alot of fun to play or to run. Gets people to think out side of the box, which I think is a good thing. The only down side I can think of is that in PFSOP some players do not put resources into thinks like climb, swim, and acrobatics. I know it is one as a DM I would like to run for my group and I think I would like to play with one of my characters as well.
I hope this has been of help to you.
Yeah I thought it would be really fun to play I haven't gotten through it yet with my group there has been a little bit of a change up a guy has had a kid and some other things happened...
Anyway.
I am wondering one thing above all else.
Is it pathfinder society or is it generic adventure?
And thanks again for your help.
