This feels like a evolution of First Steps part 1. I really like it!
There are currently 7 Quests within the scenario, with the game only experiencing details of 3 of the 7.
With proper GM notations on the chronicle sheets, is it possible to play this scenario twice in order to experience 6 of the faction specific quests? With the proviso that no player gets to repeat a quest?EG. Playthrough 1: Dark Archive, Grand Lodge, Exchange.
Playthrough 2: Silver Crusade, Scarab Sages, Andoran.
(Miss out on the Taldor mission)This would double the play potential of this product and allow more PFS players to let their characters experience the changes in their factions.
That would be very difficult to coordinate. Remember that you would have to ensure that everyone at the table was not replaying one of the missions, and that's a tall order for a table of six.
The Special advises that a group should be able to play through at least three missions, but it can do more as the slot allows. It's conceivable that one might play 5-99 as an epic, 6- to 8-hour event and do all of the missions.
Why was the Silver Crusade left out as the only faction that doesn't get any attention in this module ?
Silver Crusade had a mission, just like every other current faction. If you played with more than 3 factions present, your table might not have had time to get to it was all.
Follow-up Question... Since this scenario becomes available after the start of Gen Con, how should the faction changeovers be handled?
I had the same question - the answer is in the fact that you get to make one faction change at any point during Season Six. When you start Season Six, your faction transfers to the new one matching it (if applicable). From then until next Gen Con, you can make one free faction change.
Announced for July! Keep in mind that it won't be available for normal purchase until just before Gen Con 2015 but is available for regional conventions and game days.I'm confused. It is available for purchase, but it can't run it unless it's at a qualifying con or game days?

So since this was run as a special, does it count towards the "10 exclusives/specials" for qualification for 5th GM star?
I only ask because I'm at 99 tables and want to start getting those in soon.
So...you've got 99 tables but an exclusive ain't one?

Hard to tell if you are being serious or not. I have 113 tables now. And no. I have never run an exclusive. I have run a table at a multi-table special though.
Still no definitive answer to my question that I can see.

I have a question, not whether it is a misspelling and maybe not important, but English is not my language and I tend to translate the stage for better interpretation. On page 6 named 'The Opparan Trace Commission,' and also page 10, but say the glorious speech Opparan Trade Commission. which of the two is? if they mean different things.

It should be the "Opparan Trade Commission." Trace would be a typo.

I honestly hope not - this is way different from Tome of Righteous Repose. If people are super interested in playing for the other missions, that's why GM stars exist.
But honestly, half of the missions are pretty crappy anyway. The Exchange and Sovereign Court missions are cool, but the Grand Lodge, Liberty's Edge and Scarab Sages missions are forgettable, and the Dark Archive and Silver Crusade missions are downright terrible.
