Mission Briefing
Each adventure typically begins with a briefing, either in the form of a message, a meeting with a Venture-Captain, or a job offer from an outside employer.
Hero Points: Immediately after the mission briefing, the GM will distribute initial Hero Points. PC pg. 405Player Core page 405

Daily Preparations: In most cases, PCs can perform their daily preparations (changing prepared spells, preparing staves, etc.) after the mission briefing and questions. In exceptional circumstances, such as if the briefing is interrupted, a GM might determine there is not time for such adjustments before the mission.
Purchasing Equipment: This will also often be the last opportunity your character has to purchase any needed equipment during the adventure.
Treasure
You will typically find items during play. These items are available for use during the adventure.
Once Per Adventure Options
Character Options that can be used less often than once per day can be used once per adventure in Starfinder Society play.
Crafting
Characters are not able to craft items during an adventure. The only permitted crafting happens during Downtime (see Downtime Crafting).
Run Prudently
The Paizo Organized Play program strives to provide a fun, engaging, consistent experience at all tables. GMs are required to run Paizo Organized Play adventures as written, but are empowered to make adjustments to suit the table, fix obvious errors or typos, use alternate maps, and ensure all players have the best possible experience.
GMs must allow you to use legal character options and cannot change the mechanics of those options. GMs can change the presentation of adventure elements (reskin) to avoid phobias or otherwise ensure a positive experience for all players, but cannot change the mechanics of those elements.
For additional details, see Permitted Table Adjustments. For legal character options, see the Character Options page .
