Before You Arrive
What to Bring
Your character or chosen pregen, your Organized Play number if you have one, and any rules sources your character needs. Dice and pencils can usually be borrowed.
Your Character
A pregen is the easiest first-session option. If you build your own character, check the current campaign guide and character-options page before game day.
At the Table
Society play is cooperative. Introduce your character, make room for everyone to participate, respect table boundaries, and help the party explore, report, and cooperate.
After the Adventure
Your GM provides a Chronicle Sheet and reports the session. Keep your Chronicle with your character records, use your Paizo account for individual organized-play history, and visit the Lodge Society Tracker for local campaign statistics.
Official Resources
Campaign rules change over time. The official Paizo and Lorespire guidance takes precedence over summaries on this Lodge website.

Do I need to know the rules before I play?
No. Tell the GM that you are new and we will explain what you need as the game progresses.
Do I need my own character?
No. Pregenerated characters are available and are often the best way to try a class or attend your first session.
How do I know whether my character can play a scenario?
Check the level range in the Warhorn listing. If you are uncertain about eligibility or pregens, ask in Discord before the session.
What if I need to cancel?
Release your seat on Warhorn as soon as possible so another player can register. A quick Discord message is also appreciated, especially near game time.
Where can I get help building a character?
Join the Lodge Discord and ask for character help. An officer or experienced player can point you toward legal options without building the character for you.
