Recently there was a thread on one of the Starfinder groups I follow about how to adjust difficulty in encounters. The poster was a GM, and found their players were running roughshod over their challenges. There were a lot of good suggestions there, and I’ll break some of them down […]
With a couple of new things available, it’s time to recap some publications by yours truly. First off, if you are looking for an enemy faction to add to your Starfinder game, the new Stellar Adversaries: Talon’s Grasp from Rusted Iron Games features a mercenary organization run by a pair […]
We live in something of a golden age of Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Sci-Fantasy enabled in large part by streaming media platforms. As a child I would never have believed the amount of Star Wars programing we are currently awash in, much less all the other great new ideas and beloved […]
Let’s talk about swarms (but not The Swarm, which is a whole different topic.) In several of the major fantasy roleplaying games, swarms are one of those early enemies that fill players with dread. Did you remember to bring an alchemist fire or some magic that has an area of […]
Recently someone was looking for high CR threats for their Starfinder game, highlighting a blank spot in the system I hadn’t been aware of until it was pointed out. There really aren’t a lot of high CR creatures in the Alien Archives, and apparently only one above 20 (the terrifying […]

By turns silly, tragic, and horrific, the villain MODOK has been used to various effect in comics for 55 years. […]
I was watching a show recently and there was a twist. The dungeon the protagonists were in woke up, started walking around, and destroying the landscape around them. A lot of readers probably know the show I’m talking about here, but I won’t spoil it. It also reminded me of […]
Hey Starfinders, it’s been awhile and boy has a lot been going on. The whole Wizards of the Coast OGL controversy for one, which I won’t summarize here (you can easily find a world of information on it out there) other than to say Solo Run Studio is an ORC […]
