I'm generally not into the modern or future fantasy roleplaying stuff, but I will check this out with an open mind and the expectation to be pleasantly surprised.

Let us know your opinion. I'd like to know what does or doesn't work for you with this product line
And thanks for the chance!
I finally got a chance to read through this. The stars don't often align in such a way that I can spend enough time to read through an entire module in one sitting.
I like the idea of taking the Pathfinder Core Rules and adapting them for modern or space opera/space fantasy play. I don't see myself playing or running that style of game, but it fills a niche in the industry that some gamers will enjoy.
First the good: I can see the talent that got you into the RPG Superstar Top 16. I enjoyed reading this. The module seems to flow nicely, though I'm not a skilled enough GM to know how a module will work from a single read-through. The art in the module is good. Having the shot of Mars on the opening page is a good, "Wow," first impression. The layout was well done, sidebars worked well, drawing my eyes to them at an appropriate time.
To be blunt, though, there were a lot of minor mistakes that should have been caught in an editing pass. On the first page (and elsewhere in the document) "intended" is used where the word "intent" should have been used. I think I know what the second paragraph is trying to say, but I'm not sure.
or
Out of chaos new powers have arisen, among them the corporate states: private interests grown richer and stronger than any nation. These business conglomerations are the owners (or purchasers?) of failed countries, and the main investors in space colonies.
I'm not trying to bust your chops about the editing aspect. These things just stand out to me.

Aaron, thank you a lot for your feedback, positive and negative. In fact, feedback is something I have been lacking for most of Eridanus products, this one in particular.
This product was different from everything else for two reasons: first, I did it all on my own and, second, I needed to have it out soon due to the crowdfunding's slow uptake.
But this shouldn't be an excuse. If I'm putting products for sale, even free ones like Corporate Solution, I must aim at quality and so I apologize for the editing mistakes.
On the paragraph you mentioned, option two would be correct. It's the kind of thing that works well in Portuguese but, once translated, doesn't sound as good. I will keep an eye out for this sort of thing.
Once again, thank you for your feedback and, most of all, for downloading and reading this adventure. Give it a try! Maybe you'll end up enjoying it as much as the regular fantasy RPG ;)
I had downloaded the core rules. I was hoping for more and here you have provided. Thanks.
I have some questions:
In the core book you list the classes but there are no tables for the stat information for saves bab and other crunch. Did I miss something?
Are the psionics your creation or other ?
Thanks, hopefully you'll be making more

You are welcome! Sorry it took me so long to get it done. I noticed in your profile that you are in Brazil, I wondered if translation was involved. Take a look at your PM...

Killian:
I had feedback related to that. The main reason I didn't add the tables were because there were classes based on classes already presented at other Pathfinder books (either the core rules or the advanced players'). But feedback indicates players prefer to have that information at hand. For that reason (and others) I have been planning a 'deluxe' version of the core rules, with more content. I'm planning on offering it with a discount for those who have already purchased the first version.
On the Psion, yes, it was my creation. I actually had a similar concept for D&D 3rd back when I wrote the original novel (2004-5) and it simply fit perfectly with the concept presented by Pathfinder for the Oracle.
Aaron:
No need to be sorry at all! I wish I had more people giving the kind of feedback Killian and you are giving me. ;)

It's totally ok to repeat stuff like that... just make sure you're not crossing the line into "standalone rulebook," which isn't allowed under the Pathfinder RPG Compatibility License.
Which was the main reason I didn't add it to start with :)
I still need to study this idea further. The concept of this line is exactly creating something easy to use with the core rules, so creating a whole new book would go against it
