PFS GM Call - February 2022
Posted: Sun Jan 23, 2022 4:11 pm
Hail and Well Met Pathfinders!
Welcome to Season 3 of Pathfinder Society 2E. The Magus and the Summoner are not released for play; with the Gunslinger and Iventor on the horizon – get your Secrets of Magic.
Please Note: There have been substantial changes to the PFS2E Organizational Play. Please review the following link to familiarize yourself with these changes and the impact they may have on you as a GM. Pathfinder Society (Second Edition) Guide to Organized Play
I do have a lot of requests for people to be able to GM a PF2E game. Please limit your signups to one game, but do sign yourself up to play games prior to the weekly sign-ups going out if you GM I do need PFS1 GM’s for a few scenarios.
I appreciate each and every one of you and appreciate the strong GM base I have
Just as a reminder:
This month will be different. Paizo only released one scenario for August, so I am going to try to fill in with a few things different. I was going to start with the Pathfinder Trials - a chance to make a new character for Season 3. Then a return to the one-shots, an opportunity to try a different ancestry and class combo. Week 3 will be more of an open session, we’ve had a mixed group the last few months and while I know there are a lot of people that can play a 3-6 there are still some that need 1-4, unfortunately this may be a repeat for a lot of people, so I’llset four 1-4 quests. The final week will be a couple of sessions of the first Season 3 game.

PF2E 01-10: Tarmbrealers Trao;Tier 1-4 - GM TBD
Venture-Captain Bjersig Torrsen has set out the call for a group of Pathfinders to compete in a race known as the Balgirdtrek. Taking place in the Land of the Linnorm Kings, this race is an annual event that includes participants from both the Varki and Ulfen people of the region. Bjersig hopes that by having the PCs participate, they might not only bolster the Society's reputation in the Saga Lands, but also document this exciting event. Although the Society has the organizers' official permission, some of the Ulfen competitors in particular see the Pathfinders' participation as an intrusion on their time-honored pastime. The true challenge of this race is not monsters or villains, but the harsh nature of the grueling marathon itself.

PF2E 03-08: Foundation's Price Tier 1-4 - GM Brian
Following their recent successes in aiding the government of Qadira with apprehending an errant genie-binder, the Pathfinder Society earned the right to establish a new lodge in the port city of Sedeq! With the construction of the site complete, the Society sent a group to formally begin operations from the new edifice.
They never arrived.
With city officials threatening to auction off the new building should the Pathfinder Society neglect to occupy it, the Society sends a backup group of Pathfinders to investigate the lodge. Finding the brand new structure in a state of alarming disrepair, the Pathfinders have little time to search for answers before a booming voice greets them. If they wish to have their lodge, they'll have to complete three tasks...
Foundation's Price is part of the ongoing story of the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries. It is the first scenario in a two-part arc detailing the events befalling a Pathfinder Society lodge in the nation of Qadira. Other arcs explore other locations across the Inner Sea. While the arcs can be played in any order, it is recommended that players experience the scenarios within each individual arc in order.
