Kelly reveals their hidden identity and the group splits up to gather materials needed to get them off this strange world.

First Echo: Rough Landing

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 07:29:23 GMT

This begins our Metroid-Inspired Starfinder Adventure ran by Shawn. The Galactic Federation has detected Space Pirate Activity in the Dasha System and are sending detachments to the area. Those familiar surmise that the outlaws only camp out on planets for one reason: Phazon. Our party makes separate, but equally not great landings on the planet of Aether, the last confirmed location of the Space Pirates. Will our heroes fall prey to the heavily biotech modified Space pirates, be hindered by the Galactic Federation's skirmishes, confounded by the Luminoth architecture and technology, or is there something darker on Aether?

Sun, 24 Oct 2021 14:42:14 GMT

Continuing the conversation even further around the #UnionizePaizo movement, this week I chat with Starfinder Developer and Mech Superfan #1 Jenny Jarzabski.

Hex Grid Hangouts: Derry of Dice Will Roll

Tue, 28 Sep 2021 18:01:22 GMT

This conversation fills me with such happiness. I've long been a fan of the Dice Will Roll podcast, so to get to gush a while is a dream come true. On top of diving in on their podcast, Derry goes into detail about the #PaizoAccountability moment from their perspective helping to organize. Derry was also here to promote their PF2e/D&D5e module 'Safe Haven'. From the Kickstarter going live October 12th: "A Low-Magic, High-Weirdness Western adventure module for gunslinging heroes between Level 5 and 8..."

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 22:57:37 GMT

This week I'm joined by Paizo freelancer Alex Augunas to talk all about his work on Starfinder and his latest book now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Starfarer Species Reforged takes the rather outdated 'race' concept currently used in Starfinder and opens it up to the much more accurate species, and there's mechanics to how one goes about creating and adapting your PCs to it. We really dig into. Swell guy. Great chat.

Sun, 09 May 2021 04:00:00 GMT
