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.

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!
