Product– Starfinder Society Scenario #1-02: Mystery of the Frozen Moon
System– Starfinder 2nd Ed
Producer– Paizo
Price– $5.99 here https://store.paizo.com/starfinder-society-scenario-1-02-mystery-of-the-frozen-moon/
TL; DR– Good, but length hurts product and story. 83%
Basics- What’s on the moon? A new moon has been discovered, and there are ruins there. What else could be stirring on the frozen moon?
Mechanics or Crunch: This adventure has a decent mix of combat, skills, and some social. There are multiple NPCs that you get to know. They don’t do much, but they help set the scenes for future adventures. The combats are simple. There really are only two. There is one major skill challenge as well. I don’t hate this, given the design philosophy of the Starfinder society now. It’s short, but there are the key pieces I want. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– There is a lot of story in a small package. The story is light, but the adventure sets the stage for the future. You meet multiple characters. Those characters are there to help you learn the next pieces in the next adventures. That’s again, not bad, but aside from some social, two combats, and a skill challenge, the story is light. It does end on something big, so it works well enough. 4.5/5
Execution: Paizo is losing the Paizo polish to the internet. The adventure features new creatures, as in any good Star Trek adventure, as they explore a new planet. But it’s missing pieces, like pictures of the major NPCs. I can’t find pictures of somethings anywhere. Also, this adventure is 6 bucks for about 2 hours of RPG. That’s kind of a lot for missing pictures of one of the two things you fight. 4/5
Summary– This adventure is good, but the changes in Paizo’s organized play are hurting the product. The short adventures are ok, but it means there is less here. I also have fewer physical products to look at or show the players. Those changes hurt the product. I enjoy the story and adventure, but the constraints hurt the product. 83%
