Brave adventurers! The citizens of Riverford need your help once more! Starting Tuesday March 15th, I will be running weekly sessions of The Riverford Freelancers again, from 5-8 PM PST (GMT -8). As before, the sessions will be self-contained, open to all, and played “pickup style” with whatever players and characters happen to show up that week.

This is a unique series of “sandbox one-shots" for fourth level Pathfinder RPG characters. Designed to be played to completion in a single four-hour session with no ongoing commitment, the Riverford Freelancer sessions will feature a number of short quests the PCs can choose from in Riverford, and random encounters that happen as the party explores the Three Rivers Valley trying to complete them. The players show up, read the job board, and set off on adventure.

CR 5 Lay Them To Rest 0 Toggle Quest Information Questgiver Token Source Riverford Freelancers Task Hamlets south of the Vastra River have reported a number of encounters with undead. You must find the source of the undead and neutralize it, and destroy all undead you find. Completion Return to the Riverford Freelancers with some sort of proof that the undead menace is done for good. Reward 1000 gp, and the Church of the Savants in Riverford provides a scroll of a third level cleric spell of the partys choosing. Asset ID: 3769 Owner: Joe

Although each session stands alone, the ongoing game is continuous, and events in one session will impact subsequent games. Each week the players will have more quests than they can possibly do, and which ones they decide to try to complete will matter. Dispersing a bandit camp will mean less thieves and rogues to deal with, and ignoring the pleas of a town dealing with undead may see the settlement overrun. Characters will be allowed (but never required!) to return, do more quests, gain more loot, and level up.

If you’d like to play, check out the RSVP threads on the forum, or discuss character ideas on our Google+ community!

You can also participate on the creative side of things by running your own games with our ready-to-use VTT files, and by sharing your own quests, monsters, NPCs, or settlements on the website. Create a collection of assets containing a quest tagged “Riverford” and any GM running the Riverford Freelancers will be able to drag them from the website into their own game. Interesting quests will be presented to the players at the start of the session, and yours may be featured on the stream!

And if you’re running your own game, let us know! We’d love to see video or screenshots of your sessions!
