PFS Full Campaigns

[Shalm]

I've seen a few different attempts and pieces of advice for making a campaign from PFS scenarios, but I thought I'd give it a shot myself. I've created 9 different campaigns (using all the sanctioned material through season 4, along with modules and APs) that could technically be run for the same set of players without repeating scenarios (except for a few repeatable 1st level scenarios).

I would love to hear thoughts/comments/critiques of these, especially from those who have run many of these scenarios and know which ones fit in well with others.

Very cool. Nice work. I think you need titles pertaining to each of these themes.

[godsDMit]

I have a character who followed #7 almost exactly. :P

[LazarX]

Each of the seasons are essentially campaigns.

Totally agree! I'd love to hear some suggestions!

[Sammy T]

Campaign One should read more like:

Level 12: Requiem for the Red Raven
Level 12: The Maze of the Open Road
Level 13: Red Revolution
Level 13: Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained
Level 13: Academy of Secrets
Level 14: Academy of Secrets
Level 14: Academy of Secrets

As you level up after Maze. Academy will take you from L13.2 to L14.2

[Erosthenes]

At the risk of sounding silly, what about running an Adventure Path as a campaign for PFS? I am looking into this as we speak and trying to determine which one I want to run.

Has anyone done this? Any thoughts on pitfalls or problems for Jade Regnant?

[Shifty]

I'd like to get around to compiling a string of scenarios by themes...

'Piratey','Semi-Egyptian','quasi cthulhu/cultish','Oriental Adventures' etc - or even mini campaigns.

[Dieben]

Campaign 4 makes me giggle; it ends at level 9 with Waking Ruin. Sounds like a probable TPK was implied there, eh?

[Chris Mortika]

Campaign Six has the players going through "From Shore to Sea" at 5th level. I don't believe that would be successful. They might be able to escape half-way through, but they wouldn't be earning full experience.

[Drake McCliffer]

for campaign 3 I think it should be more like:

Level 9: The Golden Serpent
Level 9: The Sundered Path
Level 9: Pagoda of the Rat

since pagoda of the rat is the sundered path's direct sequel.

Pagoda spoiler:

You start off in the Hao Jin tapestry after defeating the dragon and finally reaching the pagoda, and is the reason why they actually sent you in the tapestry in the first place in sundered path.

Bah, that's what Prestige is for!

You're not a true Pathfinder until you come back from the dead.

[krawford]

If that is true, Ka, then I am more of a true Pathfinder than most, Ka.
