Conclave 2026. Urgent update.

You can check out on Warhorn all the great scenarios we have for you to play (or replay) at the South East’s Pathfinder and Starfinder Society exclusive weekend event!

Taking place on Saturday October 3rd and Sunday October 4th at the Old School, Great Wakering, Essex, this is a small, friendly event for charity that a lot of effort has gone into organising.

Whether you come for one day or two, getting a ticket before the cut-off deadline of Saturday 8th August will ensure that this terrific event can go ahead.

There is even a slight discount for a full weekend ticket!

Explore, Report, Co-operate (and buy a ticket)!

Pathfinder Conclave 2026 | Warhorn

Welcome to the 2026 Edition of the only Pathfinder & Starfinder Convention in Essex. It will be held in the same venue as last year, the Old School Great Wakering.

Lorespire updated with new changes to organised play.

Society Rule Changes Live July 30

Greetings , some pretty big changes to Society games were recently announced and they go live on July 30th when Gen Con 2026 begins! (Full info will be added to the Guide/Lorespire asap)
The most important changes to bear in mind are as follows;

Pathfinder Society

  • Starting Levels Players may create new characters at 1st, 3rd, 5th or 7th-level. Characters may be freely rebuilt until they begin a game having earned 12 or more XP

  • Replayability All scenarios will be repeatable, meaning you can play them more than once provided a different character earns credit each time. Previously-released scenarios, Quests and Bounties will also be made repeatable.

Starfinder Society

  • Slow Track Slow track advancement will be added. Players may elect to earn half credit for a scenario, earning half the XP and credits their character would otherwise have earned. This may be selected on a scenario-by-scenario basis.

There's plenty of other things mentioned in the blog so please read it.

https://paizo.com/blog/organized-play-rule-updates-summer-2026

Also, please bear with us, your GMs, and your fellow players whilst we all figure things out and treat any mistakes or confusion with kindness, we're all here to enjoy the games with one another.

Explore, Report, Cooperate!

Support Archives of Nethys: Paizo Contact Guide

ADDENDUM the Cayden discord also offers this constructive advice when contacting Paizo's communications which i duplicate below :
📞 (425) 250-0800
🕙 Monday–Friday, 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM Pacific
📧 [email protected]

A Reddit user also shared the following email template that you can personalize:

Dear Paizo Customer Service,

I'm writing to encourage Paizo to reinstate its official partnership with the Archives of Nethys.

AoN has been the gateway into Pathfinder for countless players. Its free, searchable rules make it easy for new players to learn the game and for experienced players and GMs to keep playing. While the site may not generate much revenue directly, it introduces people to the Pathfinder ecosystem, lowers the barrier to entry, and helps the community grow, all of which drive revenue to Paizo.

I also believe that the artwork is an essential part of the experience. The illustrations bring Pathfinder's world to life, inspire players' imaginations, and encourage them to explore the setting beyond the rules. Seeing that art alongside the game mechanics has led many players, including myself, to purchase the books, adventures, and other products that provide the full Pathfinder experience.

[Insert your own personal story about using AoN, how helpful it is to you and your group, and how it encourages you to buy more Pathfinder products. You could also mention how resources like AoN are one of the things that set Pathfinder apart from other game systems.]

I hope you'll share this feedback with the appropriate team. Thank you.

If you choose to reach out, please keep it respectful and constructive. A thoughtful message is far more likely to be heard than an angry one.

Archives of Nethys Paizo Partnership Ended

Archives of Nethys has released a statement that Paizo has terminated their Paizo Partnership with them. Read their statement here: https://www.archivesofnethys.com/agreement.html

tl;dr
Nethys will revert to using the Community Use Policy instead, which means a large portion of the art currently on Nethys will have to be removed
1e folks, the legacy PRD will be going away (this one https://legacy.aonprd.com/)
Nethys will no longer receive early access books; future releases will be uploaded on a delay

AoN is both a great resource for us when playing and while this is disappointing news, Paizo has traditionally been very receptive to community feedback. As Nethys says
'we would encourage you to direct it to Paizo -- in a polite manner -- either using their messageboards or sending an email to [email protected].' Please also note: do not debate this issue on our discord ,as your comments will be way off target! I will simply delete them.

Spaces are filling up fast and if we don’t get our submissions in then we may have to give up some of our tables to other games.

If you were a regular but we haven’t seen you for while, why not sign-up for one of our upcoming games? We’d love to see you. The more the merrier!

Just a reminder to everyone to register and name each of your characters on the Paizo site and choose a faction for them.

Default usernames don’t help identification and you can’t receive credit for a game until the character is registered.

Also, remembering to put down your correct faction is important - otherwise you might gain fame with the wrong one and not get the benefit!

Pathfinder Society Year of Clockwork Mystery

New Horror and Starfinder Sessions at UKGE

And we also have an absolute first. Join Erik or Jason for “13 Omens” a new rules-light horror roleplaying game set in our world, but beset by supernatural terrors. The game is designed to be played in a single evening and it features a shared bag of communal dice, to which more and more Omen Dice are added throughout the evening, to amp up the danger. This session will run a full three-hour adventure. This is a horror game; content warnings and safety tools will be discussed at the start. Character death is extremely likely.

For those who want a chance of survival Alex will be running SFS2 1-25 The Hollowed Shell in the peace and quiet of the board room.

Over the past year, numerous agents of the Starfinder Society have encountered a mysterious anomaly while traveling through the Drift: an artificial, alien structure unlike any starship or space station on record, that scrambles communication signals. This structure appears without warning and vanishes just as swiftly, and has proven to utterly confound starship scanners and magical assessment. Curious about this persistent anomaly, Venture-Captain Arvin has consulted a diviner and fellow Starfinder, Nykiti Lampadephoros, to determine the next known appearance of the site. Directions in hand, Arvin dispatches a team to locate and explore the Drift anomaly. This game is open to all. You are welcome to bring your own Starfinder Organised Play Character, but Pregenerated Character Sheets are also available. This is an exclusive early runthrough of a future scenario! GM: Paizo Organized Play ManagerAlex Speidel

All these games are now live on UKGE website

Join the infamous Tiny Murder Clown (as seen on the Glass Cannon Podcast) for a crash course in clowning in this Pathfinder Second Edition extravaganza of evil education! We’ll cover everything it takes to clown with the best, from selecting the right name and costume to mixing the right amounts of human blood into your facepaint! Bring an original 5th-level character ready to walk in the oversized shoes of Golarion’s most wily little rascal, and prepare to compete to the death for the honor of a prestigious gore-splattered diploma from the Tiny Murder Clown College! Adults only! HEE HEE HEE!

2026 RSP Boons Live for PF2e and SF2e

,

The new 2026 RSP boons are here! RSP boons are GM incentives for running the 2e system line of games for the 2026 year and beyond!

You may check off any PF2e or SF2e game that you ran within the boon. Home scenarios/bounties/quests count as 1 check box for each, games ran at your local game store/RSP supported area count as two for each, and APs, content longer than a scenario, and any Paizo 2e content ran at conventions—like GenghisCon 2026—checks off three boxes per event.

You may start checking off games you ran starting January 1st, 2026 (yes, it is retroactive to any 2026 game), but you cannot check off two boon sheets at a time. For example, if you are still checking off the 2025 boon, you must choose whether to check off 2026’s or 2025’s version. Be sure to download these boons when you have the chance even if you decide to GM at a different year. Once 2027’s boons are available, no new copies of the 2026 boons can be distributed.

For the Pathfinder one, you may make a pact with a dragon to get a breath weapon. This pact may be shared with other people. As far as I can see, there is no restriction of how many of these RSP boon sheets you can fill out (besides one at a time), so go nuts!

For the Starfinder one, you can gain Additional lore skills and languages throughout the Pact world. This one specifies you can only have one copy of the boon unless you benefit from Tour Guide.

Open Hyper Links:

Pathfinder Kaiju Crisis at UK Games Expo

Hello Pathfinders

I am very pleased to announce that we will be running at this year’s UK Games Expo, the first outing of the brand new Pathfinder Special “7-99 The Kaiju Crisis”! And not only that but Alex Speidel our Organised Play Manager will be our house GM, overseeing the proceedings.

Tickets are now on sale at the links below.

The centipede queen kaiju has gone missing, leaving a trail of destruction in her path, but everything feels strange. Amara Li, venture-captain of the Lantern Lodge in Tian Xia, calls upon the Society for assistance in not only investigating the disappearance of the kaiju, but also in the uptick of strange cult activity. It's not long before the Pathfinders realize that not only was this monstrous cult stealing one kaiju, but they plan to lure another on a rampage across the Shanguang Desert and beyond!

Pathfinders we need your help!
