Hello Starfinders!

We’re kicking off the year with a return to fan-favorite planet Elytrio to visit some old friends—the endearing ghibranis Klarima and Dystane. Join this dynamic duo as they spearhead a social movement aimed at bridging the cultural divide between their people. The next step in their plan? They’re hosting a massive community festival—and you’re invited! It’s time to mend bridges, forge friendships, foster understanding, and—let’s face it—probably hit some stuff! Travel to Elytrio to help some friends put on the grandest celebration Elytrio’s seen since the Gap!

Starfinder Society Scenario #6-12: Yesteryear’s Hope is a repeatable adventure for 3rd- through 6th-level characters written by Hilary Moon Murphy! Check out the art below to get a sneak peek at some of the friendly ghibrani you’ll meet in this delightful adventure.

Yesteryear’s Hope is dedicated to the memory of Jack Brown, a passionate and much beloved member of our Organized Play community who passed away in 2023. It’s our honor to bring one of Jack’s memorable characters into this adventure as one of the three special guests that you can show around the festival. Much thanks to Hilary Moon Murphy, to Thurston Hillman, and especially to Jack’s family for letting us introduce Jack’s character Lucius to the world.

Take care everybody. Thanks for making our community one I’m proud to be a part of.

We’ve also got another Starfinder Bounty for all of you

Aucturn isn’t usually a great place to set up shop, but some corporations see the complete lack of regulations as a plus. When things go wrong, though, it’s up to “independent contractors” to deal with the issues. That’s you. Things have gone wrong, and Agent Bright, a representative of the Clearbright Institute of Discovery, a corporate conglomerate shrouded in mystery, contacts the PCs with an offer. It’ll be up to you to see if various deeds done on Aucturn ever see the light of day. This will likely be the first time on Aucturn for most of you, but I wouldn’t recommend taking in the sights.

Starfinder Bounty #11: The Aucturn Dilemma is an adventure for 4th-level characters written by Basil Wright.

Hope those corporate intrigue lovers amongst you enjoy it!

Hello, Pathfinders and welcome to the new year!

This month is a double feature of scenarios, so buckle up!

First, the Pathfinder Society is paying Valashinaz a favor by traveling to an old temple that used to be a place of worship for her, but has since been abandoned after a terrible tempest! The Pathfinders will need to travel to her temple and collect the large collection of skymetals that were left as offerings long ago, while making sure that they don’t anger the spirits that still linger on the island. The Pathfinders have been warned that there may be akatas on the island, but since there aren’t any inhabitants, they should all be hibernating, right?

...right?

Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-09: Equal Exchanges – Skymetal Hoard is an adventure for 5th- through 8th-level characters written by Ianara Natividad.

During those misadventures, the Pathfinder Society will also be sending a group of junior agents to attend and poke around a high-society auction in Niswan, in the hopes of collecting more information about the mysterious Benefactor that appeared at the end of the last year. It should be a night of elbow-rubbing, delicious pink chai, and gawking at fancy baubles; however, it wouldn’t be a party with Pathfinders if nothing went wrong! It seems that the auction may be attended by some partygoers that have no plans to pay for their treasures!

Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-10: Crocodile’s Smile is an adventure for 1st- through 4th-level characters written by Ruvaid Virk.

Could you please fix your system so that I actually get these like I’m supposed to from my complimentary subscriptions? I haven’t gotten them the past 3 months without contacting Customer Service.

Thanks to you as well, Jessica, for saying yes to this memorial.

I feel like I've come full circle with this, as Jack and I prepped Yesteryear's Truth together when Starfinder first launched. Jack helped me figure out the starship combat system, and gave me a laminated copy of the custom map so that I did not have to draw it at GenCon.

So many people in org play have fond memories of Jack wearing his purple fedora and feather boa when cosplaying as his favorite character, Lucius. I couldn't resist letting Lucius join the festivities on Elytrio! He always wanted to be where the party was.

Hmm

Thanks for the tribute, HMM. What a great way to honor Jack's memory.

A FITTING TRIBUTE TO A TRUE ULFEN RAT. MAY HIS MEMORY NEVER FADE, MAY HIS LIFE BE AN INSPIRATION TO OTHERS, MAY JACK BE THE GOAL FOR WHICH ALL ULFEN ASPIRE.

THUNDERLIPS! WILL STAND GUARD FOR LUCIUS; NOW AND FOREVER.

Spoiler:
I still miss my friend…

Oh, I'm crying alright. Although they didn't preview the artwork here, the art they have for Lucius in this scenario is wonderful. I think Jack would have loved it.

Thunderlips!:
I'm not sure I'll ever stop missing him.
