General

What happens if players start The Second Story on an Icon Tile? Does it constantly revolve? Who gets the Disk? What if a Ghost is also present there? Wouldn't it be wiser to make them start on a blank tile?
Tiles only revolve when first landed upon, so it would not rotate at the beginning of the game. Same goes with the disk, you only get a disk for tiles that you land on. So, the disk is not even looked at until someone moves off the tile and then back on again. If it is a ghost that is flipped when other players are on it, they don't see it until they move off the tile and then back on again. You can start on a blank tile if you don't want to deal with these sorts of things.

When the "Switch Places" card causes one or both of the pawns to wind up on an icon tile, does the icon trigger to rotate the room?
No. The icons are not triggered by "Switch Places" because there really isn't any "movement" to cause a piece to "land" on a square. "Landing" on the square is what triggers the icon.
