Roll For Combat: Paizo's Official Pathfinder & Starfinder Actual Play Podcasts

Needless to say, the jungle creatures of Ukulam aren’t big sticklers for modesty, and the team is soon under attack and under-dressed. Also for those of you who are interested in how you can setup and play your own games online, Stephen goes through how you can setup and play online.

The team finds their way to the first waypoint mentioned in Halukeem Zan’s journal, a giant obelisk in the middle of the jungle. And as Zan’s journal also warned, it’s guarded by flying scorpion-bat-monkey critters. The monkeys don’t seem like they’re going to pose much of a challenge until the party runs into a surprise Zan kinda forgot to mention – a 10-ton, mind-controlling, paralysis-inducing plant-creature guarding the site. Details, details. Things are looking grim for our heroes, but can a streak of lucky rolls bail the team out just in time? And today is the big day!

It’s another shopping spree on this week’s show, but this one presents a different sort of challenge. This time they’re headed out to an inhospitable jungle, and they have no idea how long they’ll be out there; therefore, resource management presents a thornier dilemma than your average “stock up on serums and grenades grocery run”. Also, after learning their lesson with the akatas, the team takes a long look at their ability (or inability) to deal with diseases and poisons. Also, we’re giving away a free trip to PaizoCon 2018! Listen to the episode for full details on the contest and how to enter! Also this week, GM Stephen discusses how to keep your gaming group together over the long haul.

Nothing ever comes easy for our heroes, as it turns out Halkueem Zan’s documents are missing from the university archives. Even more worrisome, so is Doctor Solstarni, the leading authority on Zan’s work. Since Solstarni’s office shows evidence of foul play, Muhali calls in the local constabulary to help. Said constabulary played by this week’s special guests: Paizo’s Jason Keeley and friend of the show Rob Trimarco. In a case of “small world”, Rob separately knows Jason Keeley and also gamed with the boys back in NYC. Unclear what effect this has on Roll For Combat’s Bacon Number.

This week, the party flexes their diplomatic muscles as they have to untangle a dispute between Qabarat’s academics. The team zeroes in on the scholar they need to see to get access to Halukeem Zan’s original writings, but he’s currently in hot water with the university and not very cooperative as a result. (There’s also the fact that he’s the only academic in the universe who’s more of a snob than Tuttle.) Can the team smooth things over and make both sides happy enough to get their hands on Zan’s journals? Also, we’re giving away a free trip to PaizoCon 2018!

The boys return to Starfinder HQ for a debriefing and to get their next mission – investigate the strange alien writing they found on the Drift Rock. The trail leads to Hirogi’s home planet of Castrovel, and specifically to Qabarat University. Hirogi is happy to be on his home turf, Rusty is unnerved by a planet full of non-humans, Tuttle is overjoyed at the chance to mingle with other academics and Mo… he just wants someone to punch (or shoot).
