The computer is currently working its way though the system. I know some Andoran players have already received their letters. Watch your email inbox for faction letters to arrive to you from your faction head for each of your registered characters.

Enjoy!

Yep, got my Andoran letter already - love the in-character lead-in Mike!

And, check your faction specific forum :-)

Thank Mark for those. I believe he wrote all 10 faction letters.

What? How can he possibly write for both Ambrus Valsin and Grandmaster Torch?

I still haven't sent out all the thank you cards from my wedding last May, but I got ten different faction heads to all write letters and send them out the same day. Wrangling that Guaril Karela was tough (he's so slippery!)

In that case, a belated Mazel Tov, and thanks for the great letters! I know some people like to call the roleplay side "fluff" but just speaking personally, the interconnectedness of PFS play is really what drew me here in the first place!

Grand Lodge 4/5

Excellent.
Got my letter from Ambrus Valsin. He is very up-front about the threat of the Aspis Consortium. Yikes!

For Mark and Mike:
In the final paragraph, there might be an error for Grand Lodge emails: "Over the course of the season, keep the words of Major Maldris in mind, and be on the lookout for opportunities to help Andoran succeed in its year-long objectives." Was this meant to be Valsin & Grand Lodge?

Oops, yeah. Turns out boilerplate text is the hardest text because of stuff like that. Too late to fix it now, but we'll keep an eye out in any future faction emails we send.

Same for Cheliax, which really made me chuckle.

At least the part written by the faction heads seems to be correct, right? It's just the part I added afterwards that's messed up? Maybe they should take over development and editing duties in addition to running their factions.

Osirion, Cheliax and Taldor seem to have the top three most exciting faction missions. There really seems to be something at stake for these guys. Or just lots of delightful, future hob-nobbing for the foppish Taldans.

Sczarni 2/5

Osirion's is definitely more dire (in my opinion, having a high level Osirion), which brings me to an interesting question.

To be able to help Osirion in the upcoming season, will I need to make another Osirion character, or will there be potential opportunities for my 12th level to contribute?

And, yes Mark, the letters seem fine aside from a few of the boilerplates on some of the first ones sent. (Good luck getting Karela to edit things in a way you'd want.)

The Exchange 4/5 5/5

This is odd. I have Taldor selected as my symbol, have one Taldane character, two Qadiran, and one Lantern Lodge (with no credited scenarios) yet I got the Lantern Lodge faction letter. Is there a rhyme or reason or just random?

The Exchange 4/5 5/5

...And I just got the Qadiran. Must be an order of some kind, I expect to see the Taldan soon.

4/5

The Osirion Mission is sweet...time to level up Valgrym

I just think it goes to show how much power Maldriss has and how successful he's been in the Shadow War to gain control of the Pathfinder Society and thus Absalom.

He even got the alphabet ordered in such a way as to ensure his faction's letter went out first!

Le gasp! The cad!

Dark Archive 4/5

Yay for the faction spam! 5 letters for 5 different characters. :P

Is there any faction-specific over-the-entire-campaign things we're looking forward to this year? Hmm?

I got 9 Letters! Only one I am missing is Taldor.


I was planning on focusing on my low-level Osirion magus anyway, but now that the letters have come out, I want to play her even more.

Mailmerge is our friend...

Now to convince the Varisians to be the same...

Grand Lodge 1/5

Thanks Mark! These were awesome!

Scarab Sages 2/5

It would seem the situation in Varisia is indeed most dire, both for the Society and for the various..."factions" therein. In the coming days, I shall do my utmost to ensure success for those who depend on me.

I couldn't help but notice all of the factions are there, and none of them have been eliminated... yet.

They're all in this together! I KNEW IT!

I totally dig this idea! I also really like the greater focus on fostering the in-game environment that I have been seeing laterly. Kudos!
