Ring Side Report- RPG review of Pathfinder Society Intro: Year of Immortal Influence

~ fineyoungmisanthrope ~ Leave a comment

Product– Pathfinder Society Intro: Year of Immortal Influence

System- Pathfinder 2nd Ed

Producer–   Paizo

Price– $8.99 here https://paizo.com/products/btq03g2r?Pathfinder-Society-Intro-Year-of-Immortal-Influence 

TL; DR– A good, but not perfect intro.  97% 

Basics– Pathfinders, are you ready to PARTY!?  This intro scenario for this year’s Pathfinder Society season has you go hobnob with the snobs of Absolom to make a good impression.  All you got to do is be nice, show the Pathfinder Society is good, and make a friendly impression.  What could go wrong?

Mechanics or Crunch– This adventure’s mechanics are on point for an intro adventure. There are about four different encounters in this adventure.  It’s pretty heavenly split between some social, some light exploration, and combat.  All of them feel like they fit for the levels they aim for.  This adventure is the standard excellent Paizo crunch I expect.5 /5

Theme or Fluff–  Intro adventures have tough ground to cover, and this one does well, but it’s not perfect.  The adventure has the players go to the party, and start with a few different mini interludes.  These work well, but players can’t see all the characters and their small side quests and vignettes.  Not bad, as the forced adventures where players have to do all the side quests get a bit story heavy, but these all kind of boil down to “do good and learn that one person doesn’t like you”.  Next there is the new antiPathfinder group who aren’t evil, and you have to avoid them.  Then you quite literally have to fight devils and then save someone’s life.  After that people try to run you over.  After that you must convince everyone you’re awesome after literally saving people from the devil.  Lastly there is one last optional combat that’s fun.  The story gets a bit disjointed as you save them every step of the way, but people still don’t like you.  Maybe that’s more realistic than I think having just reread that again.  4.5 /5

Execution–  This is just a yadda yadda of all my other Pathfinder reviews.  Good layout, easy reading, good pictures, good resources, good handout….yadda yadda yadda.  I expected Paizo to make a good layout for the adventures, and I got it.  I might quibble about not having all the monster pictures in the book, but that has more to do with there being three different fights possible in the middle, but seeing as those on their free database with pictures, that feels too pedantic for even me to downgrade them for.  5/5

Summary– This isn’t perfect, but this might be one of the better year intro adventures out there.  The mechanics are good.  The flow is not perfect, but it works decent enough. The adventure itself is solidly crafted.  It players in under four hours, and is fun enough that everyone had a blast.  If you want to jump in to Pathfinder Society, this is a good starting point as either a GM or a player.  97%
