Dark Archive 3/5

I have a number of local players of various levels who want to play a sanctioned module. Unfortunately, the lowest player and the highest player are three levels apart. The way the rules are written in the PFS guide, you cannot play a sanctioned module if the lowest and highest members of your table are more than two levels apart.

Is there any leeway on this, given the desire to let as many people play the game as possible? I understand the desire to keep the challenge level balanced for all players, and to avoid powergaming, but the one level up or down restriction is remarkably restrictive given the normal level drift that happens in a PFS campaign, and will prohibit my players from playing a sanctioned module like they wanted to at this stage. Do I have any options to include everyone?

Dark Archive 3/5

These spoilers are so minor they're almost inconsequential, but I figured I should err on the side of caution.

The module opens up in Katapesh, in (as the mod says) "the famous Farseer tower", where "Venture-Captain Wulessa Yuul" gives players their briefing.

My problem is I cannot find any mention of this supposedly famous tower in any of my sourcebooks. In the Dark Markets sourcebook it is not found once. In fact, the Dark Markets sourcebook lists the Pathfinder Society lodge as meeting in the three-story building of Katapesh's local Explorer's Guild, which most local Pathfinders are members of.

It then goes on to give the Venture Captain's name as Aurora Steelbloom (both in Dark Markets, A Guide to Katapesh p. 41).

I have no problem altering the mod text to reflect the sourcebook, but before I did that I wanted to make sure I was not missing anything. Is the Farseer tower and Venture-Captain Yuul something that was introduced in previous adventures, or in another sourcebook? Or is this just a discrepancy that should be fixed?
