During a routine shuttle trip through the Drift, a group of heroes come across another vessel attempting to outrun a mysterious shockwave. Following a devastating impact, both ships are cast adrift but the heroes can't signal for help! With no other option but to board the other drifting vessel to send a distress signal, the heroes quickly find themselves contending with all manner of strange creatures and events. Yet, the deeper the heroes journey, the more they learn about the very beginnings of an event that will change the Starfinder setting!

This short Starfinder adventure written by Jason Tondro is intended to be completed in a single session and is intended for a group of four 1st-level characters. For ease of play, it includes four optional 1st-level pregenerated characters that can be used. This adventure can be used as a prequel to the Starfinder Drift Crashers Adventure Path, leading directly into the events of the first adventure of that series. Alternatively, this adventure can also be used as a starting point for any Starfinder Drift Crisis campaign!

Pregenerated characters for this adventure are available as a free download.

"Before the Storm" is sanctioned for use in Starfinder Society Organized Play. The rules for running this Adventure and Chronicle Sheet are available as a free download (5.2 MB PDF).

The intent here is to encourage people to play their own characters, and use the iconics as pregens only when needed. Unlike other one-shots, this adventure is meant to be used by people wanting to play their own PCs. In fact, it actually works as an intentional prequel to a Drift Crisis campaign, including direct tie-ins to the Drift Crashers adventure path!

I really hope Paizo goes ahead and releases a seperate player's guide for the Drift Crashers adventure path. It's a little annoying that we need to wait until the first Drift Crashers book releases in order to run this as a prequel for that.

There should also be a Player’s Guide. I’ll check next week. :)
