Hey, new authors! Woohoo! I'm excited to see what everyone put together.
I was going to start with a question about page 5:
PCs who rolled less than a 20 on their check feel an odd tingling around their heads as they recall these facts; this sensation is a manifestation of Myrrium’s assistance, as the orrery helps the PCs remember relevant information.
It's very confusingly worded, but I think I just put two and two together: the "actual" DC is 20, and the orrery is giving the PCs a +2 bonus which is already reflected in the DC, so if the orrery is responsible for the PCs succeeding at the check, then and only then do the PCs' heads feel fuzzy. I don't think that whole head-fuzziness-thing is supposed to happen if the PCs fail, but that particular bit didn't make it into the text.
I dunno, maybe that'll help someone else puzzle through it.

That seems like a reasonable interpretation.

Ok, this is a silly question, but I know someone is going to try it eventually. Mission 4 - castrovel. With the ocean gone (not sure if that's ACTUALLY the case - might just be the jungle gone), the continents of Ukulam and Asana are now linked. If someone has the Vossi's Roar boon (works on Ukulam), can they use it on this dead Castrovel? (Though they probably don't KNOW it's Castrovel during the combat)
Separate question: Does a starstone compass still work in these alternate realities? Does it help people figure out where they are?
I would definitely rule that Vossi's Roar would not work in that circumstance. Odds of Vossi still being alive on that lifeless world are roughly zero, plus, it was a different Vossi.

I agree with John on that one.
I suspect the Starstone Compass wouldn't work either, but I'd probably invent something about it spinning wildly before settling in a direction, and then spinning wildly before settling in a totally different direction.
Unrelated: nobody at Paizo seems to have caught onto the whole "it's not a light particle beam, light particle beams don't exist in Starfinder, it's a light particle cannon" thing. I guess it's time to bring it up...

Hi! It was brought to my attention that in the quest Tarnished Sunrise, encounter C: Desert Ambush (on page 19), the levels 1-2 encounters lists four swarm dredgers, though the statblock on page 23 only lists two.
There should be four swarm dredgers in this encounter.
To comment on the discussion of Vossi's Roar, we don't know what the parameters of these alternate realities really are. Anything specifically tied to an aspect of the PCs' reality is likely to be spotty, or just not work at all. My ruling is that Vossi's Roar boon would not work, though like James said, the PCs likely don't realize they're even on a version of Castrovel during this combat anyway.
As for the Starstone Compass....who knows? :)
