The Scarecrow encounter isn't so bad because so long as everyone survives you are given the opportunity to rest for the night thereby recovering your HP and spell slots. It's the rest of the adventure that's grueling since the volume of encounters can wear your party down by attrition. The DM's...

It's true that the DM will only be rewarded once for running a particular adventure in PFS. However, this results in the DM/group purchasing more adventures to run which benefits the publisher. In turn, the DM gains access to a wider pool of rewards to draw from for his/her character, including...

Running a game is more difficult and demanding than playing in one. Providing an incentive to those willing to put in the effort to run things is a good practice. If a DM can be coaxed into stepping up to the plate for the promise of granting one of his characters some rewards without the risk...

Pathfinder Society rewarded DM's a lot better than Adventurer's League does. Given how magic items work, it makes sense not to reward those to the DM, but they should get the same XP and an equal amount of gold as to what any individual player would earn.

After this latest outing I'm completely sick of Mulmaster and its jerkface nobility. A pox on all 49 of their houses. The first half of the adventure played out like an episode of Miami Vice, only without Miami or actually finding the source of the particular vice in question (silkroot)...

I could see a party made up of players who are used to playing together having a good shot at completing it, but for pick up groups sorted on site, it's a tall order.

Well the other table managed to kill him. I haven't had a chance to ask anyone how they managed it with all his abilities. All I know is the bard got the killing blow with Vicious Mockery because their Monk came over to our table during a break to grouse about it. We didn't fight him. In fact...

Ran this at an adventuring league meetup over eight hours with a full table of six level 2's: Fighter, Sorc/Warlock, Rogue/Warlock, Barbarian, Bard and Tempest Cleric (me) and a level 4 Paladin. The DM was a pro with decades of XP. I spent my gold on healing potions to pass out before we set...

Heh, the GM's I've encountered in PFS sessions expect the player to have done the homework ourselves. If I want to summon 1d4 celestial eagles, I have to provide the stat block and modifiers (augment summons) myself. To that end I'd have to prepare in advance, sometimes with cue cards, or just...
