Pathfinder Society Scenarios Address Challenges

The Pathfinder Society releases new scenarios, including “Poisonous Council” and “Cleansing the Flame,” where players deal with shortages and mysterious attacks, respectively. These adventures test the players’ problem-solving skills and adaptability.

The livestream, hosted by Community Manager Jon Morgantini, featured Pathfinder’s design team, including Michael Sayre, James Jacobs, Mark Moreland, and Luis Loza. “We’ve been planning this event for several years and are excited to finally share it with our players,” stated Mark Moreland, Paizo’s Director of Brand.

A central point of the announcement was the death of Gorum, the God of War, which had been hinted at through several months of blog posts known as the Godsrain Prophecies. These posts systematically excluded other gods from the possibility of demise, leading up to the revelation of Gorum’s fate.

Upcoming Releases Linked to the Meta-Event

The flagship product is the “Pathfinder War of Immortals” rulebook, a 240-page hardcover introducing new mythic rules and two new classes: the animist and the exemplar. Scheduled for release in October 2024, the book will be available in standard, special edition, and pocket edition formats.

“Pathfinder Lost Omens: Divine Mysteries,” set for a November 2024 release, will delve into the altered divine hierarchy and introduce new deities and player options.

The storyline extends to other publications including “Pathfinder Adventure: Prey for Death” and the “Pathfinder Adventure Path: Curtain Call,” each integrating elements of the larger narrative.

Liane Merciel’s novel “Pathfinder: Godsrain,” due in November 2024, will explore the implications of Gorum’s death through the adventures of well-known Pathfinder characters.

Additionally, a playtest for two new military-focused classes begins on April 29, 2024, expanding the game’s offerings.

Paizo plans to reveal more details about the “War of Immortals” at PaizoCon, Gen Con, and on their monthly broadcast, Paizo LIVE. Audience members can stay updated by tuning into Paizo’s official Twitch channel and visiting their website.

From April 13 to April 21, newcomers have the opportunity to experience Pathfinder with the guidance of experienced gamemasters. The event features a structured introduction to the game through various levels filled with monsters, traps, and puzzles. Participants may use pregenerated characters or create their own to navigate the challenges.

Pete Zupan, lead organizer and moderator of r/Pathfinder2e, commented on the event’s history and its purpose. “The Beginner Box has been a critical tool in introducing new players to the game. With each event, we aim to facilitate learning and engagement within the Pathfinder community,” said Zupan.

Paizo, the company behind Pathfinder, has released these materials under the new Open RPG Creative license (“ORC License”). This includes the Player Core, GM Core, and Monster Core books, with further expansions planned for release in the coming months.

The Beginner Box is accessible in both physical and digital formats, and is compatible with several virtual tabletop platforms, including Roll20, Demiplane, and Foundry VTT. These platforms have supported the event by providing prizes, discounts, and free materials for gamemasters.

Marketing and Media Specialist at Paizo, Rue, emphasized the benefits of the event. “The Beginner Box is an excellent entry point for new players. Through Beginner Box Days, we can strengthen the community and encourage more people to start playing Pathfinder,” Rue stated.

With over 130 games available for registration, the event is prepared to welcome a significant number of participants. Players who join the event will also receive credits that can be applied towards their first Pathfinder Society character, further integrating them into the global Pathfinder community.
