Starfinder: Scoured Stars Liveplay Premieres March 17

Wednesday, March 10, 2021

Starfinder Scoured Stars logo

The planet of Golarion is gone, and the details about what happened to it are lost to the Gap, a mysterious period of time marked by a void of knowledge about literally everything. Even the duration of the Gap is unknown, and the gods are silent.

The Starfinder Society is dedicated to finding this lost knowledge, and its members travel across the universe to track down artifacts and relics that might offer clues. Last year, Society leadership made a big bet on the Scoured Stars system, committing much of their resources and personnel to the cause. It was a disaster.

The expeditionary force was lost, trapped behind an impenetrable barrier. Those that remain struggle to rebuild the Starfinder Society while guarding against enemies that believe now is the time to strike. Our story begins here, with a cast of new Starfinders that seek to make names for themselves...and raise the Starfinder Society up in the process.

This liveplay is based on the Year of the Scoured Stars, the epic first season storyline of the Starfinder Society Organized Play program that heralded the launch of the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. In Starfinder Society Organized Play games, players from around the globe engage in a series of episodic roleplaying adventures, stepping into the shoes of members of the in-world Starfinder Society. You too can join the Starfinder Society and find lost knowledge and adventure across the galaxy.

Catch the series premiere next Wednesday, March 17th, at 6p.m. Pacific on the official Paizo Twitch channel!

Meet the Cast

Please give a warm Paizo welcome to the cast of Starfinder: Scoured Stars! We’re grateful to have them join us on this adventure into the Pact Worlds!

It will definitely be on YouTube, and we'll target it being live on Friday (depending on any technical trouble during the stream we have to repair before posting).

Good Gaming!

Being in Spain, I gave up on live streams from the US a long time ago xD

Regardless, I am super happy for this! An official Starfinder actual play like this is exactly what I was looking forward to. I'm sure it'll be great in any case, but I hope they will be using digital maps and tokens, as the "theater of the mind" stuff bores me to death.

Also I am happy that you want to showcase the fantastic stuff that you can play in the organized game part of the Starfinder world, which is something that most of us outside the US never get to play. So, HUZZAH!


Very cool. I don't play Starfinder, but I'll watch the VoD of this, I like B. Dave Walters and the many Troubles in Otari alumni.


Very cool. As was said earlier, less theater of the mind please and more of those wonderful maps Paizo brings us. Jason's in 'Band of Bravos was awesome'.


I will miss Gabe

Grand Lodge Contributor

Interesting! I'm very excited about this, having written two adventures (and as such, a ton of lore) for the Scoured Stars storyline, and designed the trinary system map which appears on the logo. ^_^

Will they be playing actual SFS scenarios, or rather a story inspired by first season scenarios?

Gabe had another gig, I think, but we are in contact. All our shows will be limited runs - unless they explode in popularity - and we will rearrange casts depending their availability. We are developing the unofficial "Paizo Players" in my mind.

The Org Play team has given them 10 or more actual scenarios, but we've told them they can make the story their own. We will credit the scenario authors each episode in some way. Older scenarios make for fewer spoilers but are still welcoming for people to join Starfinder and/or Starfinder Society. More episodic adventures *might* make it easier to jump in at any point. We are interested to see what people say!

Theatre of the mind vs maps and tokens will be an interesting exploration. I love to see players' faces, but also maps and tokens too. I hope to find a sweet-spot balance

Hm. I might actually watch this one. :-)


I'm excited to check this out.

I'm a tiny bit miffed that they get to use two races that aren't actually allowed in Society - a Strix and what I think is an Astriapi. But more that there's no boons for them than a mad at the stream.

Watch the premiere.

Xander is also in a really cool Star Trek RPG show called "Clear Skies".

As a GM who's also running Scoured Stars as a home campaign, it's been quite interesting to gauge the variations in how their GM has interpreted the material.
