Superstars from Spaaaace!

It's no secret that the Pathfinder campaign setting includes a number of science-fiction elements, from the future-tech-wielding barbarians of Numeria to the crashed flying cities of the Shory in the Mwangi Expanse. Back in 2012, RPG Superstar contestant Mike Welham tapped into this underlying theme of the setting and ran with it, and his adventure proposal for Doom Comes to Dustpawn ultimately won the contest by a public vote.

The release of that adventure is just around the corner, and we wanted to show off some of the crazy-cool Superstar stuff you'll find within. First, there's a crashed spaceship leaking terrible things into the atmosphere, causing nearby farmers and townsfolk (and maybe the PCs) to have horrific dreams and even mutate into otherworldly abominations.


Then there are the strange cultists who are also seeking the fallen spacecraft for their own sinister reasons. (Hint: it's not cause they're interested in scientific exploration.)

And I don't even know what to say about this guy other than that he's bound to send your PCs on something of a wild ride if they hope to survive their encounter with him!

Mike is from space? That explains a lot.

Totally looking forward to this. The best man won.

Also looking forward to this one. :)

And I like the art too ... particularly the vultures sitting on the starship (waiting for their next meal?) and the star-field effect on the cultist's robes (I know that the worshippers of a good-aligned star goddess will nick that for a certain home campaign).

The only thing that I regret is that this module won't come out in the upcoming 64-page format. There were so many possibilities in that module proposal ...

I'll make sure to get this one. Pathfinder meets Expedition to the Barrier Peaks.

Feels like it's time to remind people of Mike's very own theme song.
