I like how the new factions seem much more focused on their own spin on the Society.
Basically, all these factions have a very good reason for getting their hooks in this organization. The previous factions were just a little bit weaker; they felt like sort of political parties that would infiltrate not just the PFS, but a lot of other organizations as well.
Personally I'm excited about the Sovereign Court, although my paladin just transferred out because they were looking a bit too underhanded for him. I'm considering what other PC would fit in nicely there. There's room there both for people who believe in actual noblesse oblige, and for people who see it as an avenue to social mobility.

Do we have any idea when we are getting some new non-Numeria/Tech Scenarios? My players have already told me they do not want more after Silver Mount Collection, but we are at least interested in giving the rest of Season 6 a shot.
As far as the new Factions, not terribly impressed. Darkive in Silver Mount was basically literally the worst potential for intraparty conflict I've ever seen and probably on par with some of the most out-of-Andoran-character botches of a mission out there, so I really have no interest in Factions any more, or the way they are handled after Season 4. In theory, removing the national base for factions sounds cool. In practice, it's extremely boring and removes a great deal of the point of having nations be "analogous" in the first place. The pseudo-political/philosophical nature just doesn't work well, in my opinion, except to make them bland, and heavily implies a major falsehood, that most of the world gives a crap about a tine and minor organization, (the PFS) outside of distrusting and not liking them for all of the right reasons.
