A FINE DAY TO SLAY
The Red Mantis assassins are known and feared throughout the world for their relentless devotion to the task of murder. Those slain by these assassins tend to stay dead, but those who have come to rule rightfully need not fear them. In this adventure, the players take on the role of a group of assassins, favored agents of the ruler of the Red Mantis, who have been sent on a dangerous mission to assassinate an upstart whose warmongering actions have finally attracted the wrong kind of attention! Prey for Death is an adventure for 14th- to 17th-level characters.

Within this liminal pocket dimension, they learn that devoted followers of this cosmic being are searching for a power source strong enough to aid its birth.

Starfinder Flip-Mat: Second Edition Playtest Multi-Pack
Playtest the new edition of Starfinder in style with this collection of two double-sided Flip-Mats featuring four key encounter areas from not one, but two Starfinder Playtest Adventures: A Cosmic Birthday and Empires Devoured! One Flip-Mat features a futuristic space station and a science-fantasy cityscape that are abandoned and ready for investigation! The other features a dense fungus jungle and a futuristic settlement bordering the jungle, for exciting sci-fi adventures on the borderlands!
Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Village Assault
SAVE THE VILLAGE!
Raze the Village! During their adventuring careers, heroes will surely find themselves saving a small hamlet or invading a town of miscreants. Pathfinder Flip-Mat: Village Assault sets the scene for both! One side of the Flip-Mat shows a small village centered on a meeting hall or chapel, and the other side depicts the same village amid fiery turmoil as it is attacked. Spread one side down to plan the attack and flip it over to take part in the action!
Starfinder Playtest Scenario #1: Shards of the Glass Planet
A Starfinder Second Edition Playtest adventure designed for 1st-level characters.
For millennia, Birnam’s Bubble has been a planet untouched by outsiders, fully encapsulated in an impenetrable shield of unknown energy and protected by powerful automated defenses. Through this barrier, explorers and surveyors have glimpsed pristine settlements, verdant flora, and inexplicable magical emanations—yet no fauna or citizens populate the world’s surface.
As in many other parts of the galaxy, the Drift Crisis changed everything. Now, the energy barrier surrounding Birnam’s Bubble cracks like shattering glass, and shards of this solidified energy have begun to fall through the atmosphere to the planet’s surface, causing significant destruction. Enter the breach and uncover the secrets of the lost civilizations of Birnam’s Bubble before they're lost forever!
Starfinder Playtest Scenario #2: It Came from the Vast!
A Starfinder Second Edition Playtest adventure designed for 5th-level characters.
Countless derelict and abandoned starships litter space, some damaged beyond repair, some containing valuable cargo, and others empty save for the dead. The Xenowarden starship Bloom is one such ship. During a routine survey mission to a newly discovered dwarf planet in the Vast, the crew of the Bloom collected a variety of biological and environmental samples, secured the samples for further study, and departed, plotting a course through the Drift to a mobile research laboratory in the Pact Worlds.
The Bloom that emerged in Pact Worlds’ space was much changed—unresponsive, careening out of control, and with no sign of the ship’s crew. Explore the biomechanical corridors of the Bloom to uncover the fate of its missing crew and face off against a dangerous, alien predator that can’t be allowed to survive.
The Bloom is haunted. That’s the least of your problems.
Pathfinder Society Scenario #5-20: The Rakshasa’s Court
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 7th- through 10th-level characters.
With clues from around Jalmeray and Niswan, Venture-Captain Safa has been able to determine where the mysterious Benefactor lives in the city. It's up to a group of Pathfinders to break into the enormous mansion to confront her, all while avoiding her underlings and trying to find evidence of her wrongdoings. A secret plot to undermine the powers that be in Niswan is discovered, and there's only one place left to corner her: her private quarters.
Starfinder Society Scenario #7-04: Inheritors of Gadrathar
A Starfinder Society Scenario designed for 5th- through 8th-level characters.
Tabrid Minor is a planet on the brink of devastating ecological collapse. While the planet’s government refuses to alter course or change policy, hope is not lost. The Coenocopi Foundation works hard to rekindle ancient copaxi magical traditions in the belief that their spread would cause many citizens to adopt a more ecologically responsible way of life, turning the tide of destruction. Unfortunately, these magical traditions have been lost to time and government erasure.
Enter the Starfinder Society! Explore the rotating ruins of Gadrathar Fortress, a shattered citadel floating many miles above the surface of Tabrid Minor, while on a quest for ancient wisdom and magical secrets.
