Seriously, the PFS special for end of Year 3 is tier 1-6? we are getting 1 scenario (so far) above level 8, what Golarion shattering problem is a level 6 going to solve while levels 7+ sit in limbo.... Ive got so many characters hovering around the 7-9 mark, are there any plans to support higher level play? im pretty sure that was a selling point when announcing PF2e? Guess it's back to running AP's

However, the Aspis Consortium have also begun exploring the ruins, so it’s a race to see who can reach Raseri Kanton first!
... Doesn't sound like a Golarion shattering problem, which is good. The "save the world, every year, same time, same place!" was getting super dull.

Cavern of the sundered Song is 9-12, the tomb between the worlds is up to level 8, secluded siege is up to level 8, #3-17: Dreams of a Dustbound Isle and #3-19: Mean Streets of Shadow Absalom* are level 5-8 and 7-10 respectively (from the blog where metaplot arcs are mentioned). I wouldn't be surprised if we got another during this year, but it's understandable that there will always be more low level content and less high level content, given how characters level up (and to prevent new players from getting excluded).
Also, weirdly, I don't think this is supposed to be "end of the year special". I think 2e moved away from that - the first special we got was "end of the year" (numbered 2-00), the next one we got was just a special with no ties to the metaplot (3-99). This one is numbered 3-98 and seems to be just a third part in a series of otherwise non-descript, non-metaplot scenarios. I really like this new direction because it dissipates the FOMO on the "start of the year special" and there's also no pressure to participate "just to see how the metaplot ended!" but it's still tied to (some of) the published scenarios instead of being completely independent (unlike 3-99). I really hope to see more of these going forward.

Correct: this is not a metaplot scenario. It's unrelated to the events of the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries, and unrelated to the events of Year 4. The conclusion to the Year of Shattered Sanctuaries is PFS Scenario #3-19, which is for levels 7–10.
Rigby and Thursty are putting together a super fun adventure for us. Jump in and enjoy it!

They're both fine, perfectly serviceable scenarios. You don't need to play them both or in order, but it's nice to do so. The Dwarven Pantheon features prominently.
What I like about them is that they both feature Pathfinder Society Field Agents exploring an site of archaeological significance. That's a lot less common then you might think.

This adventure has been updated based on feedback from initial playthroughs. A full changelog is below; this will contain spoilers! Please use this updated version for future playthroughs.
- Aspis events 2 and 3 are swapping so that event 2 is the hazard and event 3 is the second combat.
- Act 2: success thresholds are changing to 2/3x tables (including the Aspis successes). Act 2 is now 120 minutes total, moving to the final combat after 60 minutes.
- Adding the repeatable text from the product page (this will also be added to SFS 4-99)
- Fixing some minor errors (missing instructions to report a Temple Success in Act 2, copy/paste error on page 13)
Are there any big lore developments because of this one? I’m curious to know what the impact of the Pallid line is, as someone who doesn’t play Society but likes Golarion dwarves.
