History of the Society


Pathfinder Society


Hello fellow Pathfinders,

I have come to the realization that while i have been playing PFS for a few years now, albeit sporadically over the last year or so, i really don't know much of the history of the Society and it's most notable members.

What i'm asking this forum for is an advised reading list as to be more well informed about the Pathfinders as a whole.

Who are they? Why'd they get started? How'd we get to where we are?

I've also run across this whole "Lamplighter" type movement. It seems to have been around a while and has no official bearing on the game itself it does fit into this personal idea and belief system i've been tooling around with while looking into my next PFS character creation. But alas this is a divergence from my initial reason for posting this thread. So getting back on topic, any sort of help folks can offer me in my research of the Society as a whole would be greatly appreciated.

Thanx.

Any of the splatbooks.

Pathfinder Society Field Guide, Pathfinder Society Primer, Faction Guide, or Seekers of Secrets.

Don't forget to also check out The Story So Far. It's a spoiler-free download.

Thanks Hilary and Nefreet.

@Nefreet- yes i have all of those i just have not been diligent in my readings, sadly :(

@Hilary- i just downloaded and printed those today. There is always this weird suspension of belief when playing PFS due to the time altered way scenarios get run. One week we play a season 5 scenario the next we'll play a 3 the a 0-1 and then back up to 7. Those will be handy for me to grasp the bullet points of went down each season.

When ever the time line comes into question. I just tell the players to think of it as sitting around the bar or lounge and swapping war stories.

Seeker of Secrets is my favorite for Society lore, but there's great stuff in all of those books. Pathfinderwiki.com also has great resources for history as well as individual character history.

As for the Lamplighter movement... Never heard of it. ;)

You know, some Abadarian should really look into that. You could make a killing selling concessions to all those souls in line.

Yup. That could explain it all. Just an accident with th Sky Key.

Or maybe it was that odd scepter Durvin Gest brought back from the ruins of Ninshabur. Of course, that was ages ago...
