A Pathfinder 1ed Society Scenario designed for levels 1–5.
When the flames of revolution swept through Galt, the Society lost much of what it held there: dozens of agents, several lodges, and the fellowship of countless contacts who foreswore the Society rather than become targets themselves. Although Venture-Captain Eliza Petulengro has reestablished a foothold in the country, she needs to rebuild her network of allies. One of the most important figures resides in Rosehaven, a small village due to celebrate its yearly festival of light and forgiveness. Petulengro hopes that an entourage of Pathfinders might participate in the festivities and endear itself to the Society’s former friend. Past evils have other plans, however, and unless the PCs can keep their wits about them, they might not just lose sight of the mission; they might lose their lives.

Pandemic Survival is an “extreme” version of Pandemic where teams of two will face each other in an epic battle to save the world. Their goal: to be the first team to find all four cures, or to be the last team still alive at the end of the game. In this tournament-style version of the game, all teams will face the same problems: their player cards will all be placed in the same order before the game; the infected cities are the same for everyone; the Epidemics strike at the same time for all teams; every team has the same role cards. The only difference is the decisions they will make! Their strategic choices will lead each team in different directions, and one strategy will pay off in the end and lead to victory.

Use your workers to get resources and commodities, discover artifacts for a long-gone era, and forge alliances with the various factions that populate this world. What are you willing to sacrifice to build a better dystopia?

This tournament features fabulous loot that you can take home with you, where everyone is working from the same deck of cards, and is available to both newcomers as well as veteren dungeon delvers. The thing is, there is an additional rule that we will be using. If you have played the Munchkin game in the past, you will know of the two main phases. Kicking down the door and looting the room. But, in a tournament setting, there is a phase before kicking down the door. Listening at the door. "At the start of your turn, draw a face-down Door card, which you may play or not. If you Loot the Room, draw a face-down treasure, not a door."
In addition, we will also be operating under the "Plus-One" rule set in regards to promotional items. This rule is to insure that no player has a huge advantage over another player in regards to the use of bookmarks, promotional cards, T-Shirts, etc. And when we say etc, long time players will know that pretty much any munchkin product that is not a game has an effect on the game. The "Plus-One" rule is, as stated: "Players must reveal all promotional items at the start of the game. Players are limited to a total number of items equal to the least held number at their table, plus one." The exceptions to this rule is: The official smartphone Munchkin Level Counter, a Single Munchkin Sherpa or Munchkin Zombies Sherpa and a championship certificate signed by Steve Jackson or Andrew Hackard, embossed with the SJ Games logo are ALWAYS allowed, and the Official Munchkin Cthulhu Bookmark of Udder Ridiculousness is NEVER allowed.
This is a casual tournament for in-house prizes.

A Pathfinder 1ed Society Scenario designed for levels 1–5.
Rival explorers have beaten the Pathfinders to a valuable site in Katapesh, but fortunately most of the riches—including the obscure text the Society sought in the first place—have ended up in the capitol’s extensive bazaars. What is at first a routine shopping trip spirals out of control as the PCs uncovers the writing’s secret past—and secret messages.
You don't know how you got here, but you find yourself with a group of complete strangers staring at a long corridor in some dank, forgotten dungeon. You are equipped with gear that isn't familiar. Some of you can sense magical or holy abilities you are positive you did not possessed before. There is a doorway at the end, a blank wall behind you. Perhaps the door leads to an exit? Without waiting, one of the strangers rushes for it. Proceeding hastily, they miss a slightly raised pressure plate on the floor, and after stepping on it, a large chunk of the ceiling comes crashing down, completely squishing them in a horrifying splat. The ceiling block raises itself again, exposing the gory remains of the stranger. Before you can even fully react, you catch movement behind the rest of the group. Seemingly out of nowhere, a figure has appeared, sharing a face with the recently squished stranger, yet wearing different gear. They appear extremely confused. Perhaps death is not so permanent in this place? Nevertheless, you must all work together to find a way out.

The players are in the position of determining how they want to allocate their workers throughout the year.

A Pathfinder 1ed Society Scenario designed for level 1-2.

Even the noteworthy field commissioned agents sometimes participate in such trials as a way to familiarize themselves with the Pathfinder Society’s rules and expectations. Although Confirmation is typically an individual affair, the society recently discovered a site on the Isle of Kortos that would be perfect for initiates but perhaps too dangerous to handle alone. Successfully uncovering this site’s secrets will not only contribute to the society’s body of knowledge but shape the exciting careers ahead for each of the prospective agents.
