Number of scenarios in an arc??

[sanwah68]

So, I want to play one character through each of the three arcs in the upcoming season/year. Is it possible to find out how many scenarios are involved in each of the arcs?

I would hate to start play with a character, only to have it level out of the arc near the end...especially important with the high tier where I don't have a lot of characters in that tier.

Educated guess makes me want to say about 6 scenarios each. (Total of 24 scenarios per Year, divided by 3; minus however many scenarios aren't attached to arcs; needs to be possible to complete an arc before leveling out.)

Six would be my guess also, but as my highest level character has six scenarios before she hits 13th level, I would hate to be wrong....

Bump....especially for the high tier one. I now have some of my other players asking me the same question, and some only have 4-5 scenarios left on their high tier characters,

I'm also very interested to know how many scenarios of each tier the high-level arc will be. My highest-level character is 1 XP away from level 13, and I really don't want to level out partway through the arc.

That is the lot of high level characters

Is it possible to get the answer to this soon....the first of these games are being played soon, and people are wanting to work out which character to play.

Alternatively, if you do not want to answer this, just let us know, so then we can stop checking back.

My honest assumption is that they won't say; they've tended to release information about upcoming scenarios only in dribs and drabs as they near release.

Months on, we now know that Fleeting Truth is a trilogy (#3-08, #3-14, and an as-yet-unannounced conclusion). Frozen Ambitions and The Vast Experiment have each had three scenarios announced and/or released, so with just six scenarios left to announce (one of them being part 3 of Fleeting Truth), it looks like they'll cap out at 4 or maybe 5 adventures each. (Neither arc has yet released any adventures in their higher tier.)

On the other hand, it seems that Frozen Ambitions isn't really an "arc" so much as a collection of standalone scenarios thematically linked by Near Space exploration, so players can dip freely into that one.

I beg to disagree, as the Shimmerstone conspiracy/plot is unfolding as we continue through.

I confess I must've overlooked that on a first look-through.
