Starfinder One-Shot #4: Before the Storm

Ooooo, nice! A parting gift from Jake!

What's the release date on this?

June 1.

Thank you!

Kind of a bummer that the pregens are the iconics and not more original, but, we can fix that. :D

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. :)

Thanks Aaron :)

That's nice but you don't really play your own SFS character in campaign mode. I even had one player character when things got rough say I don't care if I die it's not my character when he was supposedly playing his own character. He knew it would have no impact on his real SFS character.

I think they meant "own character" in sense of "Your own created character" ^_^;

Oneshots aren't really SFS products, they have sanctioned bonus chronicle for SFS players yeah, but they aren't created as scenarios.

I really like this idea. I'd actually be pretty happy w/ 'insert one shot' adventures, which might be stuck between the books of particular adventure paths (or not!)

From the Department of Expectation Management: We have no more Pathfinder or Starfinder One-Shots on the schedule. You may recall that Thurston Hillman was our non-Organized Play adventure developer. He has been promoted to Starfinder Managing Creative Director. Pathfinder and Starfinder Bounties will continue, however, as will standalone Adventures, and Adventure Paths. Look to Pathfinder and Starfinder Infinite programs for more in-setting adventure content.

Band on the Run and the Great Grav train were superb, that they will not be seeing sequels is disappointing.

I definitely preferred One shots to Bounties.

Okay, so my first question to those who have run this, OR to the writer/editors:

Will be back with more as we explore the Third Gate!

I'm pretty sure water in a vacuum would actually boil!

More than you ever wanted to know: Boiling Point :-)

Ya know, lot of people probably have overlooked this one, but its really really good short adventure to introduce drift crisis and foreshadow it :'D
