(1) Would this be a good place to wonder if something is missing from one of the scenarios I've been assigned (Wonders in the Weave II)? I'm sure I wouldn't be spoiling anything for readers here, but just in case, I'll be vague:

The puzzle toward the end ... it doesn't seem to be a puzzle. In fact, I dunno what it is. It seems *intended* to be a puzzle, but it's like there're four or five paragraphs of, you know, actual puzzle missing.

(2) I know the factions have changed/are changing. How do we handle this in older scenarios (like Wonders in the Weave)?

If anyone can explain or help, thanks in advance.

(3) Not exactly a question, but it would be really great if Paizo could allow those of us with packed schedules (like me) to pick up promos in Sagamore (as they did for the buttons last year). I have a cert for the Goblin mini from supporting the PFO Kickstarter, and I'm really worried I won't get to the Exhibit Hall before they're gone.

5/5

For factions the following occurse in older scenario's

Silver Crusade does whatever sketchy mission the Andorans have
Shadowlodge does whatever sketchy mission Cheliax has
Lantern Lodge does whatever sketchy mission Qadira has
Grandlodge recovers whatever McGuffin Osirion is trying to find
Scarni does Taldor (I think)

I think I got all of the new factions.

It's not much of a puzzle. There's not much for PCs to solve normally because there's no visual analogy that would still preserve the logic.

Spoiler:
We have no idea what an Aklo 'K' looks like.

Probably should just let them make their check and move on. It can be done untrained.

There's no real need to adjust scenarios for this one, since it's Season 3. The new factions were added in Season 3, so their faction missions are covered. In the case of Seasons 0-2, that id covered in the Guide to Organized Play, page 34

Quote:

Seasons 0–2: For the first three seasons of the

campaign, only five factions were available for characters
to ally with. As such, members of the five new factions
introduced in Season 3 playing older scenarios must
utilize faction missions from another faction, as follows.
• Grand Lodge faction PCs should treat Osirion faction
missions as their own for all Season 0, 1, and 2 scenarios.
• Lantern Lodge faction PCs should treat Qadira faction
missions as their own for all Season 0, 1, and 2 scenarios.
• Sczarni faction PCs should treat Taldor faction
missions as their own for all Season 0, 1, and 2 scenarios.
• Shadow Lodge faction PCs should treat Cheliax faction
missions as their own for all Season 0, 1, and 2 scenarios.
• Silver Crusade faction PCs should treat Andoran
faction missions as their own for all Season 0, 1, and
2 scenarios.
If members of two factions both receive the same
faction mission, members of both factions are considered
to have succeeded if either of them accomplishes the
mission presented.
