What Adventure Paths are Society Sanctioned? (PF1e and PF2e)

[TheMonkeyFish]

I was recently talking with someone about Pathfinder Society and they were curious when I mentioned that some Adventure Paths were Society Sanctioned. I know specifically that Emerald Spire (PF1e) is Society Sanctioned, because I played an Animal/Plant Domain Cleric that was both the parties support and strength based character.

Anyway, they were asking more about information regarding this. While I'm pretty sure Kingmaker, Wrath of the Righteous, and Whispering Tyrant were all Society Sanctioned, I'm not 100% sure and I am not certain how they were ran even if they were.

Could you guys confirm which APs are Society Sanctioned for PF1e and PF2e and how they are run differently from normal society games?

For PF1, the adventure paths are the first section of the "Additional Resources" page. It has the items legal from each, but it also has links to the chronicle sheets for running them, if they're sanctioned. The rules for each varies:

The majority are sanctioned for run in two ways: by a sanctioned section, and in campaign mode. The section is a subset (about 1/3) of each adventure that can be run with PFS-legal characters (in a 2 or 3-level range). There are sometimes specific rules to use while running the sections. Campaign Mode is running the AP under whatever home rules you want. Both earn the same chronicles for one level of credit on a PFS character.

The last three or so sanctioned (Wrath of the Righteous, Return of the Runelords, Tyrant's Grasp) were sanctioned for campaign mode only, and with variable rewards so any level characters can receive the credit.

By comparison, PFS 2 APs are *only* sanctioned in "Adventure Mode"

Adventure Mode allows GMs to impose house rules, and allows them to alter encounters and statistics in the adventure, and (for APs) allows players to make characters for the adventure that do not follow the restrictions in PFS (provided they follow the restrictions the GM permits.)

Blood Lords and Agents of Edgewatch were not sanctioned (Due to some content that just was not appropriate for Organized Play.)

Except for those two, every AP that has been released has been sanctioned.

For PF2, each book provides a chronicle, and each chronicle can be applied to any character of any level.

Each sanctioned adventure has a free-to-download sanctioning document on its shop age. The Chronicles are actually in there.

And some of them have more specific instructions. The credit from the Beginner Box specifies that it can only be applied to first-level characters, for example.
