Is Keskodai's letter missing? Or is there a problem with my PDF viewer?
Good to have some free SF puzzlez stuff (and their impending revisions) out there. ;)
I've figured out everything except Keskodai and Raia. Is that copy of Keskodai's letter still coming? Please say yes! My son and I are really enjoying these. Kudos on the Quig puzzle, btw. That one was awesome!
Raia I've got, Iseph is giving me some trouble, found 15 words, but I think 2 might be wrong. Raia's was a lot of fun once you got the hang of it.
I've got Navasi, Iseph, and Obozaya. I've been putting off Quig, Altronus and Raia for the moment because I think they will make my brain hurt. Obviously, can't really do anything with Keskodai without that letter.
But overall this is quite fun!

Thanks! I actually used to edit puzzles like Quig's for a living over a decade ago, so it was a return to form for me.
We are working on the letter thing!

Amazing puzzlesmithing, Jason and Joe! Thank you.
I had a lot of fun solving the individual puzzles and the meta-puzzle. Even without the page to figure out Keskodai's word, I could guess what the missing letter had to be.
(Confirmed, now that I've solved Keskodai's puzzle. Thanks, Chris, for adding the missing page.)
The chance to solve a new set of puzzles is a good incentive to go to PaizoCon 2018!
Glad you liked it! I don't like to make promises I might not be able to keep, but the PaizoCon 2018 Puzzle Hunt is going to be bigger and better! Well, it will probably have the same number of puzzles.
Joe and I already have a lot of great ideas, and with any luck, we can turn them into interesting and challenging puzzles!

This was really fun! Is there an answer key somewhere that we can check to see if we got everything right?
If someone could help me out with a couple of these, that'd be great.
With Iseph's puzzle, I'm not sure which verbs I have to find (e.g. I can find both trade and tiptoe, but it says I only have to find one T verb)
With Raia's puzzle, am I correct in assuming that the words that "belong" are spell names, since they're from her spell cache?
Nevermind on Raia's, I figured it out. Just need to do Iseph and Quig's puzzles.

For Iseph, remember that they said the verbs you are looking for are "furtive"!
Only just found these but they are driving me nuts, in a good way! Would be nice to have an answer key at some point, I'm pretty sure I'm getting some of Iseph's words wrong.

The Final Frontier
By taking the hex shapes behind each iconic's illustration in each puzzle and fitting them into the final grid map (there is only one way to do so) and then entering each puzzle's answer into those shapes (starting with the hex with the circle in it and moving in the direction indicated by the arrow), you end up with seven letters in the hexes marked by planets. Those seven letters can be anagrammed to form the word[/i] CAPTAIN
