Welcome to /r/Pathfinder, a subreddit for the Society-offshoot of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. Pathfinder Society (or PFS) is a weekly organized campaign, typically played at a local game store or similar venue. You can find more information on PFS at the official about page on Paizo's site.

Full explanation of the history of the "split" can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pathfinder_RPG/comments/1970yw/z/c8lj1xd

To head off the usual questions:
* No, you can't just merge subreddits.
* No, I'm not closing /r/Pathfinder_RPG and redirecting everyone over here.
* No, I'm not closing this subreddit and opening another one.
* Yes, I do suck. And I am dumb.

This is to allow artists to still advertise while not flooding the sub with advertisement.

I am rebuilding my 1st level character and I want to use the background Wished Alive but I can't find the boon despite herolab stating I need one for this background.

I have scoured the boon list on the organized play site multiple times but I can't find any boons for backgrounds.

Thank you in advance.

Hey guys, how are you? So, I’m doing a Summoner and I’m with a little bit of difficulty in the Summon Creature spell. I can’t find where are the monsters in “small” and “medium” size, only in the “tiny” size. Because of that, it’s not making to much sense the Summon Creature II and III (I’m lvl 5). Can someone help me plssss

there's not much of a PFS activity around me, so i'd like to hear GMs of this sub's perspective:

i feel like PFS is the most fun when you build your own character and carry it from game to game. however, my various convention/monthly gathering observations tells me 1. players are mostly "casual" 1. they approach PFS games as independent one-shots 1. they use level 1 pregens and don't register their characters to paizo

is this a fair assessment? and if so, do you think these players would enjoy a quick character creation section, or is that wasted effort?

i'm asking this because i recently released a "build-your-pregen" pack, thinking it'd be a nice tool for PFS GMs but i don't know if it's overkill for "fine with regular pregen" players.

[addendum: just so i don't mislead anybody, this is mostly a market research question ("do you think PFS GMs/players would enjoy creating characters at the table") to assess if i should promote my pregen pack here]

As the title says. Is there any news for us since the paizo forums are down again?

Last year seemed easier to fill in every Thu~Sat slot with PFS games, but with the narrower lvl ranges, it seemed a little tougher with just a handful of PFS characters, none of them past lvl 2 atm (will hit lvl 3 after the Thu 8am session).

How did everyone else do?

Does any one know why PFS Gen Con events are so much more expensive this year?

Last year, a normal event was $10, and the interactive special was $14.

This year, they normal events are $22, and the interactive is $30.

I get that things are more expensive this year but that's more than double the price from just a year ago. Other types of events don't seem to have gone up as much, though -- I see plenty of RPG events for $6.

EDIT: After a little more digging, I see the events are now 3 hours instead of 5 hours, too...
