Golarion calls for exploration! After a year filled with research and a legendary villain's grand plan, it's now time for the Society to return to its creed: Explore! Report! Cooperate! With a member of the Decemvirate handpicking agents and assignments and new venture-captains eager to earn their stripes, who knows what this season will hold! With new allies and new enemies making their moves, it's time to start planning the next great adventure and plot the course of a new year! Welcome to the Year of Unfettered Exploration!

Pathfinder Society scenarios are 4-5 hour adventures which immerse you as a hero in ongoing Pathfinder Society storylines and provide numerous opportunities to contribute to a year-long metaplot. The Pathfinder Society Year of Unfettered Exploration – Deluxe Edition (Full Season) module allows players to experience all 20 scenarios of Pathfinder Society Year of Unfettered Exploration with the full suite of Foundry VTT features, using maps, tiles, tokens, sounds, and much more to bring you content which truly cannot be experienced in the same way anywhere else.

This module includes all 20 scenarios in Pathfinder Society Year of Unfettered Exploration released to date. Scenarios not yet available at the time of purchase will be automatically added to the module in a free update on the same day they are released in PDF format. You can also purchase just the first half or second half of the season as separate modules, each containing 10 of these 20 scenarios.

Pathfinder Society Year of Unfettered Exploration – Deluxe Edition (Full Season) for Foundry VTT includes:

High-resolution character artwork and tokens for the unique monsters and NPCs in each scenario, plus a blank token ring and background for customizing your game.
High-resolution Pathfinder Flip-Mat maps for staging the encounters in each scenario.
Custom-themed journal entries for all adventure content in each scenario, including additional encounter notes and Foundry VTT tips.
Custom landing pages for each scenario.
All scenes pre-configured with walls, lights, and sounds. A custom macro places tokens and hazards auto-scaled to match each group, providing GMs with the most convenient experience running the adventure for all parties.
Soundscapes provided as ambient playlists and local sound sources to immerse your players, created by Michael Ghelfi Studios.

Well worth the price (despite the sticker shock)

A great time-saver, and the assets (maps, tokens, music, macros) are all of very high quality. I was hesitant because of the large up-front cost but our first game went very smoothly. I don't play PFS but I can wholeheartedly recommend this for any GMs looking for a collection of one-shots that require minimal preparation and setup.

One of the best Idea ever for foundry VTT

Mr. Fred — Mar 12, 2024, 10:35 am

Pathfinder Society scenarios powered by Foundry VTT is most probbly the best ideas ever !!
First of all this is a time saver, as game master we have more time to focus on our job ; running the game.
Next, the high quality of assets adds value for our players along with all the atmosphere and ambiant sounds
Finally, the whole team behind this modules is making a great job and providing the highest quality content leveraging what foundry VTT, its Pathfinder 2 systems and Paizo's Pathfinder 2 RPG can produce.
I wish this season is not the only season that will be brought to the GM community in the next year

PS: still, I would love that a changelog (even macro) would be available on foundryVTT site, for instance, so we can decide when to update the module.

Excellent product but release dates need some work

The Foundry modules are wonderful, saving GMs hours and hours of work. The few problems I’ve seen have been fixed quickly as other reviewers have mentioned.

However, releases for new scenarios have not met the standard promised on the product page (same day as PDF release). And when this happens there’s no communication with customers about revised expectations or reasons for the delays. For this reason I’m giving 3 stars. This is not a cheap product, and Paizo has set expectations for a level of professionalism that they are not living up to.

Solid offering and rapid errata

I've run the two scenarios released so far and in general I'm very happy with how its gone. I've been able to run from the journal directly without having either the PDF open, or printed in on my desk. Definitely has saved me at least an hour per scenario of prep.

I had some feedback after the first one regarding the CP scaling macro that was confusing some users, and they've already fixed it. (asking the user to select high-tier versus low tier AND also the total challenge points -- the former is derivable from the latter). The token placement marco works well.

At launch there was some problems with easily sharing some images from the inline journal versus the art appendix, but again, fixed within a week of reporting.

4-star versus 5-star for me, because there has been any useful aids for the more complicated skills checks. (For instance the closing scene of 5-02, probably should have a aid for the six locations with descriptions and maybe listing the skills usable, etc). If we get a chase/influence mini-game I would expect some form of visual aid, for instance.

Exellent

Unprecedented idea with a season long release. The journals are nicely done. The scaling macro that automatically knows the parties CP rating and sets encounters accordingly is amazing.

The team behind this product truly care for the source and have made playing PFS that much better. Truly a standard, set the bar.

Thank you!
