Set Piece
Set Pieces were eight-page adventures published in Paizo's Pathfinder Adventure Path issues to supplement the primary adventure. Set Pieces presented game masters (GMs) with a host of options tied to that month's adventure path entry, whether they were playing the ongoing Adventure Path, running their own games, or simply needed an iconic location.
Each Set Piece was built as an optional Adventure Path episode and included details on how to incorporate it in the month's adventure. These scenarios were also flexible enough to adapt to any ongoing campaign, or to serve as short one-session adventures. Whether depicting a thieves' guild, pirate ship, monster-haunted ruin, or other archetypal adventure sites, Set Pieces provided GMs with locales on the fly when their players zigged when they were supposed to zag.1
Set Pieces first appeared in Shadow in the Sky and ran throughout the Second Darkness and Legacy of Fire adventure paths. Due to difficulties presented in the editing and development processes, and in response to fan feedback, Paizo discontinued the Set Piece feature in August 2009 with the start of the Council of Thieves adventure path.
