Has there been any official or unofficial word about the relative difficulty of scenarios for Pathfinder Society? As a veteran of both Paizo's published adventures and other living systems (LG I'm looking at you!), I'm curious where Pathfinder Society will fall.
Not having any of the 3.5 supplements can make it hard to make powerful characters, and super mind-bendingly difficult mods aren't really very fun, so I'm hoping that the mods have an emphasis on the FUN with a little dash of difficulty in there.
I'm heartened by the mention that the DM should try to make the mods work even after the party might make a plot point screwup (a huge problem with a lot of the RPGA mods I've played).

I've only read the one adventure that I'm going to be running, but it seems quite easy for 1st level characters. To a friend, I commented "a party consisting of two half-elven monks and two half-elven bards would find some of this a real cakewalk." That said, there are a lot of challenges and puzzles that look like they will be both fun to play and fun to run.
Of course, I haven't played or run this yet, so there may be some deceptive difficulties in some of the stats I've reviewed.
However, on the assumption that other Pathfinder Society scenarios are similar, I'm excited about the possibility of playing less-than-maximized characters and still being able to defeat the challenges of the adventure. In fact...I think I'll play a half-elven monk!
