I can wait for the good stuff with no complaints for missing out on bottom shelf filler)
<br />
That being said, I'm even more hecka-hungry for Paizocon! I'll be watching and hoping for updates on the Journal Cards then.

<p>They will list some of the faction-related things that could promote the goal(s) of faction X, and it will be up to the player to bear those goals in mind, and then, at the end of the session, let the GM know they have done Action A, B or C that can fulfill condition X, Y or Z on the card, and request a signoff (if needed) on it.</p>
<p>Maybe either a note on the player's side of such an action, needed to remind boht of them later it was done, maybe a comment by the player that doing such-and-so in this game might promote this-or-that card line.</p>
<p>Hopefully, a lot less disruptive than "Is the MacGuffin in this room? How about this room? Maybe now?" that the original faction missions were prone to. And less irritating to the other players than, "I do this for Taldor!" was.</p>Faction cards will be optional, and, to be honest, they should be something that only the player needs to pay attention to during the game.

<p>Will these be available for the Core Campaign? My only concern is that I might not have enough games I can play to get the factions rewards for my favorite characters. Maybe an option to burn a large of Prestige like 5 or 10, to check boxes on the cards? That way the old characters that have already worked hard for the factions to get in on the faction cards at the expensive of a valuable resource.</p>These factions cards seem awesome, and since factions were the reason I started playing PFS, and still my favorite part, I'm really happy they are becoming more important, if we want to make them important for our characters.
