Scarab Sages 4/5 5/5 **

So Free RPG day was a while ago and I picked up this little adventure at that time and I thought it would be a bit fun to run it, but seems it hasn't been released for general use yet. Anyone know when, or if, it will be sanctioned for play and we will get an official chronicle sheet for it? I'd love to run it for some of my friends but we'd like to get credit for it.

I know things are crazy over at Paizo, so I'm not expecting this to be a priority, just wondering if anyone had a general idea or timeframe.

It's sanctioned for use

Nevermind. Not until 11/19.

Generally, the Free RPG Day scenarios are sanctioned only for host store games for about a month. Then they'll release the scenario for more general play. It's intended to be support for the retail stores. (Who, by the way, pay to get those free products to distribute.)

I knew there was something like that, which is why I was waiting, just wanted to know the timeframe. I also knew that gamestores have to pay for the stuff which is why I bought a little something from my FLGS when I picked it up. Not much, but I did what I could.

I'll be running this soon, and the adventure is obviously pre-remaster. I'm not even sure if I should change the pregens at all (run as written and stuff), but it seems like an obvious choice to allow the Cleric to use the new rule of 4 Heals per day. But if I do that, it becomes a slippery slope to also allow the Sorcerer to swap out Dangerous Sorcery.

I'm just split between keeping things as-is and running things as written (you know, what PFS is about), and the whole "remaster means everything gets updated" mentality.

See, updating the Cleric's Healing Font is just a simple adjusting of numbers. You get two extra Heals per day. Sweet. But allowing the Sorcerer to pick up a whole new feat seems like it's going against the spirit of having pregens in the first place. Then again, is it even necessary to update the pregens at all?

If I were to change feats, I'd probably give the Sorcerer either Reach Spell or Natural Skill for two more trained skills (Intimidation is always good on a Sorcerer, though maybe not appropriate flavour-wise, and maybe Occultism), so it's not like it's a drastic change, but still.

If you have knowledgeable players, let them update the pregens if they want to do so. Otherwise, I would say run as written.

As the sanctioning requires that you use the provided pregens, I would run it with the provided pregens as they are. Sadly, this means that it's a poor 'learning experience' for new players.
