Can Anyone Suggest an Easy to Run but Fun PF One Shot


Advice


My old gaming group has requested a one shot for Saturday. I have very little prep time, nothing in mind that could be suitably truncated to the estimated 4 to 6 hours of actual play we'll get done once we settle down to the table, and was wondering if I could take a census before blindly buying something for download.

Looking for a pretty simple, straightforward run with a mix of actions and tasks, probably low level, for which I'll probably grab or prepare some pre-gens.

Any recommendations appreciated.

We Be Goblins!

Comes with pregens made especially for it, and is VERY fun!

That or Crown of the Kobold King, I think?


If they are fast players Crown of the Kobold King. Otherwise the prequel to it Hollow's Last Hope.

I can't favorite this enough. WHY CAN I FAVORITE THIS ENOUGH!?


A third vote for We Be Goblins. Fast, easy, and if you want can be an excellent springboard to an all goblin campaign, with all the siliness entailed therein.


I would definitely not recommend Crown of the Kobold King.

Many of the Pathfinder Society Scenarios would be good for this, you can download pregens for various levels as well. Little prep needed.


We Be Goblins is definitely a good one-shot, as are any of the Pathfinder Society scenarios, which are designed to be run in about 3-4 hours usually. The PDFs are only $4.

We played Crown of the Kobold King a long time ago, I remember it being very fun but I dunno if you could finish it in one sitting. It took us at least two or three.


Just downloaded the PDF of We Be Goblins now and am reviewing. This will be the first exposure for most of them to Pathfinder (they are somewhat out of the loop on current gen PNPs), so wish me luck on not screwing up too badly.

Thanks so much for the input, folks!

If you're looking for something truly introductory, you might try the Beginner Box (see link on left side of the page).

Crypt of the Everflame is another great introductory module.


Anyone have a link to a good variety of pregens?

Paizo has several available for PFS on their website:

There's also a pdf floating around that has 1st level pregens for every possible core race and class combo. I can't seem to locate it offhand, but perhaps someone else can point to it.

We be Goblins, it's tons of fun.
