Blame the tech gremlins! Once you get past the lack of moving pictures, Erik and Robert are diving into the massive Starfinder 2e Galactic Ancestries book to bring you another "Goblin 10". We are ranking our Top 10 favorite Starfinder ancestries from the book, covering everything from anthropomorphic space animals and "goo girls" to why Robert thinks space goblins are the absolute best choice. In this episode: What We Played: Erik is GMing a fully converted 2e version of Rise of the Runelords and Robert runs Prey for Death on Foundry VTT. Life Updates: Erik got a new joband Robert is doing miniature painting commissions to fund a trip to Utah. Honorable Mentions: We discuss space crabs, Trox, and other weird heritages before getting to the main list.

This book is a highly specific, snapshot-in-time look at the active war front between the diabolical nation of Cheliax and the freedom-loving Andoran. While the lore is incredibly niche, the crunch is completely evergreen for your campaigns. We break down our favorite regions, troops, and archetypes, exploring what works and what falls flat. In this episode: Life Updates: Eric recounts his very first official Pathfinder Society game featuring a three-part haunt. Robert shows off his Grimdark Demon Prince of Slaanesh mini and preps for a desert vacation. Patreon Drop: We announce our upcoming new custom adventure, codenamed "Spore"! The Hell Knight Overhaul: We dive into the massively improved Hell Knight archetype, covering the Mortification feat and the specific benefits of the Order of the Chain and Order of the Godclaw. Absalom's Politics: We review the "fixed" Absalom Dandy and explain why the Starstone Aspirant feels completely out of place. Nidal & Isger: We gush over the badass Nidalese Horse Lord archetype and debate the art (but praise the mechanics) of the Sister of the Golden Erinyes.

Instead of just reviewing an Adventure Path, we are diving deep into the Season of Ghosts Player's Guide and building characters specifically designed to thrive in this rural horror campaign. We cover the unique four-act (Ki-sho-ten-ketsu) structure of this AP, why it focuses on compassion and reputation, and why you definitely shouldn't bring a Gunslinger to Willowshire. Then, we unleash the builds: Robert’s Thrown Weapon Masters: An optimized dual-wielding Shuriken Swashbuckler (because Rogues actually suck at thrown weapons) and a hilarious Barbarian that throws literal tables at ghosts. Erik’s Three Brothers: A trio of siblings tied to the local tea house, featuring an "Imposter Syndrome" Thaumaturge, a Guardian/Exemplar linebacker who plays janky support, and a Half-Elf Magus who is slowly going feral. In this episode: What We Played: Erik's Pulp Fiction-style session in Agents of Edgewatch, surviving Cryptobiosis in Starfinder 2e, and Robert's level 14 Prey for Death assassination mission. AP Breakdown: Spoiler-free expectations for Season of Ghosts. Character Concepts: How to tie your backgrounds perfectly into the town's lore.

Hey there, goblins!  This week, we got our hands on the Dark Archive Remastered (well, a "grubby little PDF" of it). But instead of just listing patch notes—because Paizo didn't give us a changelog—we are doing a deep dive into the philosophy of this book. We discuss why Dark Archive is actually "eight novellas in a trench coat," why the Psychic is mechanically just a Barbarian for your brain, and the fundamental difference between Arcane (Science) and Occult (Vibes). In this episode: What We Played: Robert takes on the Red Mantis assassins in Pray for Death, and Erik struggles through his first high-level Foundry game in Claws of the Tyrant. The Structure: Why Dark Archive is the hardest PF2e book to navigate (and how to fix your mindset). Class Deep Dives: The "Load Bearing Walls" of the Thaumaturge and Psychic. The Weird Stuff: Rumored Cryptids, Living Vessels, and why this book feels like Powered by the Apocalypse smuggled into Pathfinder.

Today, we are doubling down on the Lost Omens: Draconic Codex to show you exactly how to build characters using this massive new book. We use our "Three Modes of Play" framework (Encounter, Exploration, Downtime) to build two wildly different characters: Erik's Build: "Caduceus, The Pearl of Tangle Brier"—a Pearl Dragonet Barbarian who rides a bouncing drake and slowly transforms into a swamp demon. Robert's Build: A Halfling Jester Swashbuckler who forms a pact with a Mocking Dragon to bully tyrants and eventually becomes a terrifying Assassin. In this episode: Life Update: Robert’s recovery surgery and return to the mic. What We Played: Erik preps a Fallout-style survival horror game in Claws of the Tyrant, and Robert runs high-level Foundry games to buy his GM some time. Giveaway: We are giving away a copy of Player Core 2 to our Patrons!. Story Time: Stick around to the very end to hear Erik read a short story about his new dragon character.
