Dealing with the faction talk in First Steps 1

[Fromper]

So now that that factions have changed so much, I'm kinda surprised that First Steps, part 1 hasn't been retired like parts 2 and 3.

How do you deal with the faction talk in there, with the Paracountess talking about Cheliax instead of the Dark Archive, and Guaril's talk about the Sczarni? Just skip those paragraphs, or make up your own changes to adapt them?

On a related note, am I the only one who misses First Steps 2 and 3, and wishes they'd un-retire them with just some quick instructions on how to deal with the changed factions? It wouldn't take that much work, and it would give more replayable level 1 scenarios.

very much this.

I do change the "faction talk" some - to update it more. But I also try to use the Para-countess's talk to introduce Cheliax to persons who are new to the world...

And I would very much like to see First Steps 2 & 3 come back... esp. #3.

I'm running In Service to Lore tonight, and I'm planning to adjust the conversations accordingly (along with having Lady Ollystra put on her helmet with a flourish).

I want to say that this has come up before, and that somebody took the effort to write up new faction stuff for the scenario. My search-fu is weak while I am at work, though.

For when I'm running FSI with a crew of older PFS players (who have done it two or three times each, and maybe even run it themselves), I have a different Puzzle (the Osirian encounter) that I run. Same basic outcome, but it puts a fresh face on things and can be a bunch of fun.

So apparently, I haven't GMed this in the 2 years since starting this thread. Now I'm getting ready to run it again for the first time in a while, and I came here looking for threads on the updated faction talk, only to discover that I'm the one who started this thread. I had forgotten that.

So does anyone have written faction speeches I can borrow for the modified versions, or do I need to write my own?
