Wait whaat, is this adventure for 4th level or to 4th level?
To 4th lv and beyond makes it sound like possiby a bit beyond 4th lv. But of bigger note....
BEGINNER BOX!!!!!Also nice to see that the box and this are taking place on Korots... more lv for the Starstone Isle

I guess I could have worded the level part a little better. One of the assumptions with this module is that the players have played through the Beginner Box adventure, which would put the characters at 2nd level. The first adventure in this anthology is for 2nd level, the second one is for 3rd level, and the third one is for 4th level and should get the PCs to 5th by the end.
This and the Beginner Box are a great combination. And level 2/3/4 adventures to follow the Box...!

What happened to Dead God's Hand? It seems to have disappeared.

Where can we see the intro on the beginner's box?
Will this be useful for people who don't buy the Beginner Box?
It says it is designed w/ B-Box rules, which I assume are some sort of simplified version of PF2.
And it says it expands upon a town that I will have no info about if it is only in the B-Box.

Otari is also in a Pathfinder Society Scenario (though there is next to no information about the town itself in that scenario, more "you start in this town and then head out on a mission").
As such, I would guess Otari will be like Etran's Folly or Kassen or, for that matter, Sandpoint or Falcon's Hollow the first time we met them: a town no one's ever heard of before where an adventure is now being set. I don't believe Paizo requires you to own Burnt Offerings or Hollow's Last Hope to run any of the later adventures set in the same towns; they've reprinted the information you need for the module.
It's also not clear yet whether the Beginner Box rules will be simplified or just include limited 1st-level options from the CRB for a limited list of classes and ancestries. I don't think P2e requires training wheels as much as 3.x did, but we'll see.

I like that there are some higher level modules being produced.

At PaizoCon Online it was stated that the rules in the Beginner Box are not simplified. It will probably not have all the classes and options, but the rules will be the same.
Is it understood that the Beginner Box is necessary to play this?
Is it understood that the Beginner Box is necessary to play this?
No. Merely that it was built with the beginner box scenario in mind as a very connected prologue. It should be very playable for any table, albeit it probably won't be the beastliest or wildest adventure around.
Do the stories connect?
Do the stories connect?
Specifics aren't really available yet. I think it's just "more adventures around Otari." I'm not even sure if this product is one story or a few microadventures strung together.
That is fair.
What does it mean for this to be a "deluxe" adventure?

Comes with cheese and a basket of fries.
What does it mean for this to be a "deluxe" adventure?
I believe it refers to modules which include three separate-but-related adventures, instead of just one. I think they started using the term when the module line expanded from 32 to 64 pages with The Dragon's Demand (though that one is just one longer adventure).

How do we use the Basket of Fries in game? I'm having trouble with the errata. If I equip the Basket into my pockets etc, can I eat the fries and draw them to consome in the same action? What if I have the skill feat Battle Snack?

The basket of Fries takes 2 hands to wield. (One to hold the basket, the other, free hand, to eat the fries.)
If the basket is worn, you need only need one free hand to eat the fries, but it takes up one of the 2 bulk of worn tools you can have.
I recommend taking "Dip Fries" feat, as it lets you draw a cup of ketchup or mustard and dip your fries in it as a single action, instead of having to draw the cup, and then spend 2 actions dipping your fries.

My Wild Druid will violate his anathema if he takes this Basket of Fries. No way he wont come to rely on these conveniences.

It will return when we have an estimated completion date.
Halfway through the BB adventure and looking forward to running this for them and their characters as well, nice to have this a continuation from BB!!

Can we expect any more details about this module before it ships? Maybe a blog preview or something?

I don't have one scheduled. What would you be interested in knowing?

I was hoping to find out it there are additional details about Otari to expand upon what is in the beginner box. Does it add monsters not found in the beginner box? Is there maybe a new background or two? Basically does it add content to the beginner box or does it use only material in the beginner box? Does content within this book have any overlap with the upcoming Ruins of Gauntlight?
I ask because I know that usually adventure path sized books, which this seems to be, tend to add some extra game material such as lore, monsters, archetypes, spells, etc.

Thank you for posting. It looks like we will have to wait for the new adventure path to get more details on Otari. I am happy to see that it does give details for advancing to fourth level though.

Hi Paul. I think you received the PDF when our Black Friday Sale went live and made Troubles in Otari adventure briefly available for purchase in error. I believe you are the only one. Thank you for using spoiler tags. As Marketing Manger I don't mind your preview at all. Kindly keep the rest to yourself until December 9th please. Thank you.
I'm a bit surprised no one else has reported receiving theirs.
They only just ran my credit card today, so I won't get my stuff till Monday or Tuesday by the looks of it. I am saddened.
I got mine a few days ago :)
Do the physical copies start shipping the same day as the PDF availability?
They usually finish shipping subscription copies by street date. I got my physical copy yesterday. I believe non-subscription pre-orders ship in the same window, but I'm not sure if they've finished shipping all of them yet this month.

The rules found in the Pathfinder Beginner Box aren’t that different from those in the Core Rulebook, so some GMs might want to run Troubles in Otari using the full rules. They can and the adventure includes a guide.
I am running this module on a virtual tabletop, but the PDF has room numbers on all the maps. Is there a "clean" version that I can use for the virtual tabletop, without the room numbers? I'm accustomed to AP volumes having a separate "Interactive Map" PDF, but there is no such thing here.

If you open the PDF in Adobe Reader, right-click the map, and select Copy Image, you will extract an image with no room numbers that you can paste into image-editing software and save as a "clean" map. (Though I will note that the Fish Camp map I just tried this on to make sure it works copies over with the squares noticeably squashed into rectangles. Not sure what's up with that. If you resize the image horizontally at 70% and keep the vertical at 100%, you get squares again.)
We have no timeline from Roll20. The choice is theirs. If I hear one, I will tell you.
Edit: Sorry, I pled ignorance too soon. Our Director of Licensing knows what they are working on. AP's are high on their list, understandably. Their services are in high demand during the pandemic. So they have to "pick their battles." Politely communicating to them your interest in Troubles in Otari may be effective. *wink*
