Top level PFS scenarios

[Eldrich Sterne]

I was browsing the PFS adventures, and could only find scenarios up to level 10. Are there any beyond level 10? And if not, why?

Not yet. Most of the APs are sanctioned and they go up to 20. High level content requires a heavy body of lower level content to support it. PFS2 is still quite young, only in its third season. I expect we might see a 9-12 this year along with a couple of 7-10's.

I think lower-level content is more popular and more accessible to new players, which Paizo obviously wants.

To have level 10 scenarios, you need scenarios to get characters to level 10. To have level 12 scenarios, you need scenarios to get characters to level 12 first, etc.

But also, you can't stop making lower level scenarios, because if you make just enough scenarios to take characters straight up the levels, you end up with a campaign that that's hard to join (because all of the low level games a new player could jump into would be scenarios the older players had already done).

So you have to make a content pyramid, wider toward the bottom, not a content ladder. That means that the higher the levels go, the slower the release of scenarios at that level will be.

We do have plans to release our first levels 9-12 scenario next year. Beyond that, what the people above me said is accurate.

Yeah the distribution of scenario levels makes for a fairly squat pyramid.
