Replaying Adventure Paths


Starfinder Society

Acquisitives 5/5 *

The Guide says you can replay adventures with Novas and the Seeker of Knowledge boon. I just want to confirm I am not missing a rule nuance: this applies to modules (AP & Skitter standalones), not just scenarios, right?

Also, can the "replay" include running it a second time to get a second GM sheet?

* Applies to Modules, APs, and Scenarios
* The replay can include a Second time GMing
* Novas can only be used to reply or re-GM something once, but "Seeker of Knowledge" treats the scenario as if it had the Repeatable tag.

There is now some discussion about this, as the "Seeker of Knowledge" boon specifically lists that it allows you to replay a "scenario", which has a very specific definition in the SFS Guild Guide 2.0. Question has been asked to Thursty to clarify of the "Seeker of Knowledge" boon is limited only to "scenarios", or to all "adventures"?

Jadnura was renowned for his meticulous nature in examining the reports of field agents. He instilled in his followers the same desire to understand past events.

Prerequisites: Second Seekers ( Jadnura): Tier 1
Cost: 0 Fame
Benefit: You can use this boon once for every Reputation Tier you possess with the Second Seekers ( Jadnura) faction. Each time you use this boon, you can replay one scenario you’ve previously played as though that scenario had the repeatable scenario tag. This allows you to earn a Chronicle sheet and all associated rewards with the scenario, though you cannot select a scenario you’ve already played with this character.

These are adventures that typically take 4–5 hours to complete, written specifically for the Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild. Most adventures in the campaign are scenarios.

GM Nova Replays already apply to all "adventures".

As a GM earns GM novas, she gains a limited ability to replay adventures (see Chapter 3: GM Basics). Note on the Chronicle sheet that you are using one of these limited replay opportunities (for example, “GM Nova Replay #3”)..

Adventures collectively refer to scenarios, and sanctioned Adventure Paths.

It is funny, the more pedantic you get, the harder it is to enjoy playing. As it is, any quest or Quest pack is not repeatable (unless it already has the repeatable tag), even with a GM Nova Replay.


I hope we do get clarification on this. I can understand not allowing Jadnura replays for AP books due to the increased rewards, but hopefully modules (skitters) and quest packs are allowed. Novas should be all 4. Though I think currently the only quest pack that is not also considered a scenario is ITU which already has the repeatable tag. Other quest packs such as 1-16 are already listed as numbered scenarios.

The Jadnura replays are intended to be used for scenario content and not adventure paths or module-like content (ALA the Skitter scenarios). While these replays are useful, we want to make sure that they don't completely match or overshadow other replay options that we have available.

Meanwhile, the GM Novas applies to any adventure (including APs and Module-like products).

I'll see about having this further clarified in future guide updates.

No Jadnura for skitters then. I suspect a lot of people have already done this.

Oops. I have done this. I guess I need to devote a Nova to it instead....
