For several months now, the KuL-room has also become the home of the Pathfinder Society. Time to properly introduce ourselves!
A globally played, living campaign
The Pathfinder Society is an official campaign by the creators of Pathfinder. New adventures are released monthly – and certain decisions made by the players even influence the upcoming adventures. Therefore, your own character is also stored online, and you receive an Organized Play ID that you bring with you to the sessions. The played adventures are recorded on a Chronicle sheet and reported back to Paizo by the Game Master via a website. This allows you to participate in official Pathfinder Society adventures with your character anywhere in the world.
So, Who Exactly Is This Society?
The Pathfinder Society is a network of adventurous heroes who want to know what lies beyond the horizon, what knowledge long-lost civilizations have left us, and what new friendships can be formed and what companions can be found in the distance.
It is not without reason that the Society’s credo is “Explore. Report. Cooperate.”! All members are encouraged to acquire new knowledge and make it accessible to other Pathfinders. Equally important is to support others, seek new allies, and never lose one’s curiosity for new adventures.
Several factions are part of the Pathfinder Society. They do not compete with each other, but each has their own ideas and priorities when it comes to implementing the goals of the Society. As a member of the Pathfinder Society, you join a faction and earn reputation with your chosen faction with each successfully completed adventure, which you can use over time for various bonuses.

One-Shot Series instead of a Campaign
The Pathfinder Society adventures are self-contained one-shots that can be played in one evening. However, a common thread runs through different adventures, so that within a season lasting a year, a cohesive story can be experienced.
Since life away from the role-playing table often disrupts scheduling, it’s not a problem if you miss one adventure or another. You can join in at any time and rejoin after missed game sessions.
Getting Involved
Currently, the Pathfinder Society meets once a month – specifically on the second Wednesday of the month. You can find more information in the Tyton calendar.
