I had a question come up that I wasn't sure if I handled properly, and wanted some thoughts from other PFS scenario GMs.
I was running Murder on the Throaty Mermaid, which is a scenario that makes heavy use of the faction mission mechanics. In the Secondary Success Document, in fact, it says that the faction missions are still necessary for that scenario, so I wanted to hand them out.
However, I have almost no one in my group from the old factions that existed at that time. There's no Silver Crusade or Grand Lodge faction missions there, and that's 4/5ths of the players I had signed up. I know you're supposed to hand out the faction mission for corresponding factions, so I know what their mission is supposed to be, but it seems off to hand them a letter assuming they're part of a different organization.
Can we write up a similar letter from their actual VC and hand it to them, without changing the intended mission, just setting it up so that it's from the right faction? Or do we have to give the handout in the scenario, even if it doesn't make sense?
