July Digital Adventure Previews

Hello, Starfinders!
This month we’re dispatching agents to Tabrid Minor, home of the copaxis! During our last visit, a team of heroic Starfinders forced the planet’s government to realize an important truth: to save Tabrid Minor and prevent a devastating ecological collapse, they would need to cease industrialization and dedicate time and resources to the healing of their world. Surely the government took our advice and the planet is taking the first steps toward a brighter, healthier future! Right? …Right?

No? They ignored us completely? (heavy sigh) Figures.

Sounds like it’s up to us! Meet up with Zigvigix and our friends at the Coenocopi Foundation—I hear they’ve got a plan. Something about an ancient flying fortress? I’m sure you’ll handle it! No pressure, Starfinders!

Starfinder Society Scenario #7-04: Inheritors of Gadrathar is an adventure for 5th- through 8th-level characters written by Mike Bramnik.

Big news hitting the infosphere, Starfinders! The Starfinder Second Edition Playtest launches next week! To support the playtest, we’re releasing four Starfinder Playtest Scenarios—short, 2-3 hour digital adventures written by members of the Starfinder team! Two of these scenarios will release at the end of this month, on August 1st! Buckle up Starfinders, and let’s take a peek into the future!

First—disaster strikes the planet of Birnam’s Bubble, as the impenetrable energy shield that surrounds the world begins to shatter. As shards of this solidified energy fall through the atmosphere to the planet’s surface, causing significant destruction, the Church of Weyden dispatches surveyors and historians to the mysterious planet’s surface.

Sounds like they could use some help! Enter the breach and uncover the secrets of the lost civilizations of Birnam’s Bubble before they're lost forever!

Starfinder Playtest Scenario #1: Shards of the Glass Planet is a first contact themed adventure for 1st-level characters written by Mike Kimmel.

When the Xenowarden biomechanical starship Bloom is discovered careening uncontrolled through space, it’s up to a team of brave spacefarers to enter the starship and uncover the fate of its missing crew.

Did I forget to mention the Bloom is haunted? Don’t worry, that’s the least of your problems…

Starfinder Playtest Scenario #2: It Came from the Vast! is a horror themed adventure for 5th-level characters written by Jessica Catalan. (Hey, that’s me!)

Hello Pathfinders, and welcome to yet another heat-filled summer month!

(At least for those of us in the northern hemisphere.)

(How’s your winter going, southern hemisphere?)

Anyway! As we’re preparing for Gen Con and the start of the Year of Immortal Influence, we don’t have too much to show off, which means that our finale scenario of the Year of Unfettered Exploration takes center stage!

This month we’re returning to Jalmeray and infiltrating the manor home of the Benefactor, a rakshasa mastermind who seems to have several plots up her beautiful, billowing sleeves! The Pathfinders must search her home during a gathering of her underlings, looking for evidence of any future plans and schemes. Rather quickly, one scheme becomes very obvious: a notable figure in Niswan is in big trouble, but also the list of artifacts that the Benefactor seems to own is disturbing yet tantalizing.

Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-20: The Rakshasa’s Court is an adventure written for 7th- through 10th-level characters by Erin Roberts!

That’s all for this month, Pathfinders! Enjoy your infiltration and we’ll see you at Gen Con!
