Cover of Ambush in Absalom, the first Pathfinder Quest.

In 2011 Paizo began publishing Pathfinder Quests, a series of short Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild adventures designed to be played in about one hour that introduce new players to the organized play campaign. They continued publishing a new quest about once a year thereafter, expanding the format in 2014 with The Silverhex Chronicles to include four one-hour adventures that, when played by the same player character, are equivalent to a standard scenario. These quests are standalone adventures tied thematically to a season's metaplot but were not integrated into the scenario numbering system. The quests prior to 2017 were free downloads. From 2017 onward with the release of House of Harmonious Wisdom, quests were given a spot in each season's normal PSRPG publication order and were paid products, as normal for Society scenarios.

Starting with Pathfinder Second Edition in August 2019, Quests became a monthly release. At the Organized Play panel at PaizoCon in May 2020, the team announced the retirement of the Pathfinder Quests line and the start of the Pathfinder Bounty product line.1 In April 2023, Paizo switched back to publishing Pathfinder Society Quests instead with Quests Series 2, repeatable adventures for levels 1–4 in a slightly longer 2-to-3-hour format, beginning with The Swordlord's Challenge.2
