One thing I’ve always loved about Sci-Fi and Sci-Fantasy is all the crazy gear. Lightsabers, cloaking fields, hoverbikes and jetpacks, there is really no end to the weird and fun stuff you can find in the genre. Starfinder has always understood this appeal, presenting an array of items, augments, and […]
This week is something fun (inspired by Daily Character Option), but first we gotta walk a strange road to get there. Our starting point is the Elder Mythos, the catalog of Outer Gods and Great Old Ones that come from the works of Lovecraft and his ilk, which are all […]
Have you ever been in the kitchen, or doing a task or craft, and just wished you had a extra hand? Whether it’s trying to juggle spices, hold multiple tools, or just holding up an item while needing to apply two tools to it, it’s shocking how often an additional […]
We are back, and a happy new year to all of you! If you couldn’t tell from the images, I finally got a chance to see TRON: Ares. My spoiler free review is – visually stunning, with a stellar soundtrack, but writing that is probably the weakest of the three […]
This will be the last blog before the new year, as I’ll be taking a break for the rest of December. Happy holidays to all! So the videogame awards brought out a whole bunch of new game trailers recently. Lots of Sci-Fi and Sci-Fantasy stuff to get excited about, like […]
I was once at a talk at PaizoCon where Owen K. C. Stevens talked about how media did not have to be good to inspire. His specific instance was the 2007 Uwe Boll movie In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale. By all accounts a terrible film […]
With the 5th and final season of Stranger Things out, it is time once again to talk about the Upside-Down Netherworld (first touched on here). Because so much of the Stranger Things setting is influenced by early D&D, an influence shared by Starfinder via Pathfinder despite the remaster removing overt […]
Last week’s post got me thinking about spheres in sci-fi. From the Death Star to the Loc-Nar from Heavy Metal, we just seem to love an evil orb. Maybe it’s a big ship, or a glowing alien sphere, or whatever that thing was in Fifth Element, there’s just something about […]
This week I found myself thinking about one of the stranger elements I’ve seen in a Sci-Fantasy story. Imagine a full grown person in power armor. They have an integrated blaster, missile launcher, speed boost, a vast array of weapon enhancements, jump jets, and the ability to TRANSFORM INTO A […]
This week, it is time to talk about Operation: Orias. If you didn’t know, Orias is a collaboration between Paizo and Digital Extremes that brings the world of Warframe to Starfinder 2E. It’s a one-shot adventure set in the Origin System of Warframe, available now for $9. Honestly, it’s a […]
