I'm new to Pathfinder (although not to RPGs in general) so I misunderstood the nature of a Season and thought the Scenarios would form a campaign.
Now that I have all of Season 5 and found this is not the case, I was wondering if anyone else had tried to do this or if anyone who had run several of these scenarios could advise on any that logically linked to each other.

When I first looked at the idea I did find a few threads where people had suggestions, but they were across multiple seasons where they had themes like undead or whatever.
My group actually do something similar, if you don't mind the group being members of the society then it's relatively easy to shoe-horn.
If you want to run it as more of a series of adventures then it really depends on how much you mind tweaking the setting/locale/background and briefing.

If you mean do I mind the characters being in the society as an excuse for getting them sent to all these places, then no I don't mind.
In fact we have already started #5-01 and we have created new characters and I'm running that scenario straight off the page.
I could just run the rest in order based on the target levels, but if there are any connecting story threads or NPCs or locations I was hoping to get that stuff in order without having to read all 25 scenarios first if someone else had already done it.

I'm about to play it, so I don't actually know what's inside it, but the Wrath of the Righteous Adventure Path may be what you are looking for.
It is all about defending the world against the Worldwound, and the demons that flow forth from it. That is more or less the core of season 5.
It uses extra rules though, the Mythic rules, which makes both the PC and NPCs more powerful
It is written to go All The Way, from level 1 to level 20/10 mythic

The Confirmation 5-08 is designed to be a first adventure for new Pathfinders.
Destiny of the Sands is a three-part adventure (5-12, 5-15, 5-16), but note that parts I and II are for characters in the level 1-5 range, while part III is for level 3-7. So to play them in order, you would have to run the players through at least four sessions before starting Destiny. They'd play parts I and II as level 2 or higher and part III as level 3+.
Many of the Season 5 scenarios involve demonic incursions from the Worldwound, but being written for various levels, they would be hard to thread together as a campaign.

I have to disagree on WotR - it's not an AP I would recommend for a new group as it utilises some quite unique rules around massed combat and armies, as well as Mythic.
I did mean about getting sent to a random assortment of places. For our campaign we have been playing in a rural setting, so need scenarios not based in a city (surprisingly few are). But we are also based near Magnimar, so need to reflavour Tien based scenarios for example. But if you are making a Society based campaign, then regular changes of scenery are no problem and the season as a whole won't have any particular chronology.

@SanderJK Thanks for the thought, but I want to run the stuff I have (or at least a fair amount of it) before getting more. If the players enjoy the setting though, we will look at your suggestion later.
@Smallfoot Thanks for the info. Since the players all knew each other we glossed over how the characters met, so I may use 5-08 as a flashback for that and I now have the start of an arc.
@Conjoy Thanks for the replies. If there is no inherent chronology or story arc (beyond what has already been mentioned) then I am willing to work it out. I just didn't want to reinvent a wheel especially if that meant reading the other 24 scenarios before we finish the first one.
