Huzzah for Larry writing another PFS scenario! Way to go, my friend!
Oh...and that Daigle guy, too. ;-)
Thanks Neil! Appreciate the congratulations.

This is good and interesting news. I think that First Steps sounds very interesting and a good way to introduce new players to Pathfinder Society Play. (Hmm, maybe I will run the adventures at an upcoming EN World Chicago Gameday.)
I am also glad to see that plot ties will not be left hanging. There are GMs and players in my group who would love to resolve a few things ... including coming face to face with a certain major traitor to the Pathfinder Society and his faction.
So far, I am very happy with what I am seeing in PFS play. I am looking forward to learning more about the changes.
Love the "intro campaign arc" module idea - sounds like a great way to help build player knowledge of the "core assumption" and Golarion. Way to go! Now, if we could fast-forward to July...

Adam Daigle starts it all off with In Service to Lore, followed by Stephen Radney-MacFarland's To Delve the Dungeon Deep. Larry Wilhelm wraps it all up with A Vision of Betrayal. PCs will end the series at second level, and choose their faction at the series' conclusion, deciding which of the motivations or play-styles most fits their character. As if this weren't exciting enough, all three scenarios will be available for free.
Love th eidea. As first level (only) scenarios, will they be under the same replay rules as Godsmouth Heresy & Master of the Fallen Fortress?
Also, since choosing your faction is done when you reach second level, I would assume that the whole arc has no PA given? :(

I'm certain Mark and Hyrum have plans for this topic. No worries. I certainly like that new players get a chance to test drive the factions before signing themselves up.

I would hope so, because the players that must have their PA will never touch these three scenarios otherwise. I am not stuck on getting the most PA possible, so playing through these one day will be fine with me. :)

Yeah, I'm surprised it's gone this long without the PA grabbers getting all riled up already.
"What?! No prestige award?! How will my character compete for most broken character ever?!" Rabble, rabble...

I have some friends who I may have convinced to try Society, and I was just thinking through Character Generation and other questions.
Currently, there are various faction specific traits, but you need to know what faction you are going for before you can choose them. Do we know how that is going to be handled with the First Steps scenerios? Do they not get to choose them at all, can they leave a trait free, swap out a trait etc?
These scenerios come out before Gencon, is the new Guide going to be released before that (we are currently talking about doing character generation (and the online registration)on the 23rd July, and play through the first scenerio on the 30th. Will this timing work?
And, a question for my own character, will the additional resourses be updated for the Ultimate Combat before Gencon (as subscribers would hopefully have it before then)?
