Hey! Wanted to begin the post by congratulating all of the writers of the current Starfinder Society year. It's been fantastic, going from interesting mysteries and amazing races, but my favorite has definitely been the metaplot. The Wreck of the Returned is so interesting and I've been loving playing through it, this is a really great time to begin playing Starfinder in my opinion.
So that's kind of why I wanted to ask about this because it makes me a bit sad! By my count, there seems to be 8 3-4 metaplot scenarios! Is this a mistake? There is exactly 6 1-2 ones so my assumption was that the team had orchestrated this to be playable as a nice campaign of sorts where you can experience the entire story with one character, but then there's too many 3-4 ones to do that! I am hoping that this is a mistake and maybe 21 and 22 are supposed to be 5-6, so I figured I'd ask!
While we are on this topic, is there plans to release 5-6 scenarios this year? I though with how you can start at higher levels, we'd see a mix of both, but really seems to mostly be in the 1-4 range. Thank you, and have happy holidays!

Level 5-6 adventures were confirmed. We still have 4 more scenarios in season 1, so there's no reason to worry. Ensuring that people who started at level 1 could play all the new content on release as long as they'd kept up was important to appease the grognards like me who care about things like progression and character development (Although even I feel they could have released the first 3-4 scenario a month earlier)
The 8 level 3-4 metaplot scenarios is... disappointing. But it doesn't appear to be a mistake.

You are significantly understating how incredibly disappointing I find this.
It seems like a very, very, very, very poor decision to me. And that is understating how bad a decision I think it is :-).
I guess I'll do the work around of creating an exact clone of my character and have them play the extra 2 scenarios. But it is silly that I have to do this.

If both the meta plot and the solo scenarios get a 5-6 scenario, to get there, the solo scenarios are short by two 3-4 level scenarios (assuming at least 3 more 3-4 solo scenarios come out)
Since the Beast of Bo is a 2-part scenario, I was thinking of running that with the solo scenarios if needed.
It could also be that some of the last solo adventures tie back into the meta-plot, allowing for there to be two 5-6 level scenarios in the meta-plot to end the season.
Most of our PF2e players are waiting for the Starfinder update to the Patbilder App, so we have only run 2 of the meta plot scenarios. I've been running the solo scenarios until we can run the meta plot more consistently.

It just seems so random and honestly silly to do this. The 1-2 range has exactly 6 scenarios so it feels like they planned this out then suddenly there’s too many for 3-4? I don’t know much about scenario writing but 21 and 22 are still 5 months away. Surely they could be tweaked to be 5-6 instead and allow the entire metaplot to be done with one character, right? I dunno. I was very invested in both the metaplot and my character’s personal story within it so it just feels really deflating
