with the Starfinder Roleplaying Game! Step into your powered armor and grab
your magic-infused laser rifle as you investigate the mysteries of a weird
universe with your bold starship crew. Will you delve for lost artifacts in
the ruins of alien temples? Strap on rune-enhanced armor and a laser rifle to
battle undead empires in fleets of bone ships, or defend colonists from a
swarm of ravenous monsters? Maybe you’ll hack into the mainframe of a god-run
corporation, or search the stars for clues to the secret history of the
universe or brand new planets to explore. Whether you’re making first contact
with new cultures on uncharted worlds or fighting to survive in the neon-lit
back alleys of Absalom Station, you and your team will need all your wits,
combat skill, and magic to make it through. But most of all, you’ll need each
other. This massive 528-page hardcover rulebook is the essential centerpiece

everything I need to get excited about the game, learn how to play, and create
a successful adventurer. CHALGYR’S GAME ROOM — 9/10 – With 18 impressive
factions, the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Adventurer’s Guide is a must-have
for any aspiring Game Master. R’YLEH — For the devotee of the Pathfinder
Roleplaying Game there is much in the pages of Starfinder: First Contact to
entice their interest, especially if they are looking to expand their genre
from fantasy to science fantasy and to see the future of Golarion pushed
thousands of years into the future. EN WORLD — Starfinder is a quality game
that is likely going to be the point of the spear of a new wave of interest in
science fiction/science fantasy gaming. With the success of Starfinder we will
see a lot of other publishers dipping toes into both support of the Starfinder
game, as well as their own new games. I was at the Gen Con when Pathfinder
debuted, and I remember the craziness of the game selling out at the
convention. Everyone wanted the game, it was unlike anything since the premier
of D&D third edition. I suspect that we’ll see something similar happen with
Starfinder at this year’s Gen Con. It will be the ultimate “must have” game at
Gen Con. GEEK DAD — The Starfinder Core Rulebook is a massive 520+ page book
that contains everything you need to know to construct and level unique and
interesting characters, with information on playable races, character themes,
and classes. There are entire chapters on the various skills, feats,
equipment, magic, and spells available in the game, character combat, starship
building and combat, setting information and more. The Core Rulebook is
stunning. The layout, graphics, and art are all beautiful, just as we expect
from a Paizo product. The layout is clear and easy to use and is rife with
science-fantasy themed graphics and stellar art. Paizo has used this design to
set Starfinder apart from the rest of their products. Where Pathfinder books
have an old manuscript feel with warm, earth tones, and swooping graphics,
Starfinder stands out in your collection with hard edges and cool tones. Paizo
was able to simplify the Pathfinder system, while keeping what I love most
about Pathfinder- a wealth of character options-and providing us with a rich
universe full of intrigue and lore to play in. The character options leave my
mind swirling with ideas, and I’m excited to start building a ship. In short,
I’m ready to start playing! STRANGE ASSEMBLY — I try to be thorough in these
reviews, so I would normally have pointed out something wrong, or at least
suboptimal, in a tome of this size. But honestly there really isn’t anything
to pick at with Starfinder. It is just great from top to bottom. The
mechanical system is honed within an inch of its life. It’s already populated
with interesting and distinctive new species (in addition to the fantasy
standbys in the back). There’s enough technology to make interstellar
relations feasible, but the speed of travel and communications still permits a
significant level of independence for adventurers (there is no home base that
can be reached for orders at the touch of a button). Time will tell, but
Starfinder is probably the best science fiction or science fantasy roleplaying
game there is.
