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

The battle against the Downside Kings heats up as both the bouncers guarding the door and the card-players in the back join the fray. Hirogi continues to be the least stealthy Operative in the universe, grenades become the team’s new best friends, and we shed a tear for a table that left this world too soon. This week, GM Stephen explains how to handle rule mistakes when playing an RPG and how to not to be a killer GM.

The Downside Kings strike back against our fearless adventurers through the power of overpriced bar drinks; Tuttle tries to stage an evacuation of the Fusion Queen, but succeeds only in starting a new dance craze; and bringing clubs to a gunfight proves to be a surprisingly effective strategy as combat breaks out. Last week GM Stephen shared his favorite 1st level RPG adventures. This week Stephen discusses his least favorite 1st level RPG adventures (which will probably prove to be quite controversial). We also treat the listeners to “Roll For Combat Unplugged” as the gang discusses the finer points of combat in Starfinder.

The trip to Mama Fat’s proves to be worthwhile. The sci-fi snacks are decent enough, but the membership card found at Kreel’s apartment lets the team order off the special menu – a meeting with Jabaxa, the leader of the Level 21 Crew. Jabaxa points the team toward the Fusion Queen nightclub, where the leader of the Downside Kings waits. Also this week, GM Stephen also explains why level 1 adventures are so tricky for GMs and PCs alike and discusses his top three favorite level 1 modules of all time.

A trip to Kreel’s apartment and further investigation reveal an intricate web involving Absalom’s street gangs as muscle for a miners’ labor dispute. Armed with new information, the crew sets off to find the lesser of two evils, the Level 21 Crew on … you guessed it … Level 21! Mo makes a new friend, and Tuttle learns a shocking lesson about using the key instead of hot-wiring things for fun.

Note for new listeners: This episode acts an introduction episode to the characters, players, and Starfinder game setting. We don’t actually play the game much in this episode, it’s more of an overall introduction to the show and universe. If you wish to jump right into the action, we suggest that you start with Episode 2: Clowns to the Left of Me, Jokers to the Right instead. (Don’t worry, you won’t miss anything as we recap the first episode.) In the first episode of Roll For Combat, we meet GM Stephen and our intrepid crew – the reptilian ruffian Mo Dupinsky; the trophy-hunting Lashunta Hirogi; the self-proclaimed brains of the operation, Tuttle Blacktail, and the uncomfortably good-looking Rusty Carter. We begin with introductions, chat about the new Starfinder universe, and then finally get to learn about Absalom Station and the Starfinder Society with our Very Special Guest Thurston Hillman from Paizo as our tour guide.
