TL; DR– Fun, but too short. 93%
Basics: A Star is born! Literally! The starfinder society is invited to watch the birth of a new star. What will happen as it enters our universe?
Mechanics or Crunch: This adventure is a short one. There is one fight, some skills, and a ship adventure. All the math works well, and things feel balanced. The crunch is good if a bit short. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– This is really good world-building in this adventure. The world of Starfinder needs adventures where Starfinders explore the galaxy. This adventure makes the society seem less like a mercenary group and more like Starfreet. Solid fun meeting people and exploring in this one. 5/5
Execution: The adventure is too short. It’s got solid adventure parts that Paizo knows how to publish, but this is just too short. The adventure has a social part: see the stuff that happens, fix the ship, fight, then evade the crazy space stuff. It’s all well done, but there is just not enough to do. This is about a solid hour of work if the players roll ok. This just needs more. 4/5
Summary: This is a tough one for me. I like all the pieces, but there is just not enough of them in this one. The adventure has solid universe building and mechanics. I just want more of them. For the price and the time goal, I don’t think you get enough. It’s a good adventure, but if you schedule this one, your eventing will be over pretty quickly. 93%
