Hey there, goblins! 👽 We're diving into the new Starfinder Monster Core, and this book is a "kitchen sink" of sci-fi goodness. It's packed with aliens, kaiju, space whales, and... Cthulhu-birthing cults? This is our first-reaction, top-ten list of the weirdest and coolest creatures in the new book.

BIG NEWS! EriK is now a professional GM! Check out our new $30 Patreon tier to join a monthly TTRPG one-shot run by EriK on Foundry.

Before the deep dive, we cover "What We Played." Erik ran a Disney-themed Peter Pan one-shot where the pets were the heroes (and Captain Hook's mother was the villain). Robert is speed-running Blood Lords and has discovered the secret power of the Dog Slicer.


Then, we give our top picks from Monster Core. We cover:


The Omen: Giant space whales you can live inside (hello, Treasure Planet!).




Space Nymphs: A brilliant replacement for "sci-fi bugs," these are fey spirits for asteroids, black holes, and dwarf stars.




The Akashic Dragon: An occult dragon connected to a dimension of all knowledge and experience.



The Kaiocore: How to run a Godzilla-sized monster as a series of high-level hazards, not a stat block.



The Midwives: A 13-member cult that helped birth a Cthulhu-like being from a planet.



Paradox 17: A monster that is literally the concept of simulation theory... and Paizo gave it a 22nd-level stat block.



The Babylon 5 Pick: Erik's #1 choice for a collection of monsters to replicate the show's factions.

Is this book a must-buy? Let's find out.

Hey there, goblins! Worldbuilding is a massive topic, but today we’re cutting through the noise. We’re distinguishing between "Worldbuilding for Use" (getting a game to the table) and "Worldbuilding for Self-Indulgence" (writing lore that no one will ever see).

We’ve created a 10-Question Framework to help you build a playable, lived-in setting without getting overwhelmed. We cover:

Purpose: Is this for a one-shot or a level 1-20 campaign?

Theme: Why you need ONE core theme (and 3 micro-themes).

The Kitchen Sink: The debate between focused settings (like Ravenloft) vs. everything-goes settings (like Golarion).

The Details: Hard vs. Soft magic, scarcity economies, and pop-culture inspirations.

Plus: We announce our new $30 Patreon tier where YOU can play in a monthly game run by Eric!

Hey there, goblins! 👽 The dragons are finally nigh! We are reviewing the massive new Lost Omens: Draconic Codex, a 240-page "chunky boy" that completely reimagines dragons for Pathfinder 2e. From new anatomies to dragon gods, this book is packed with lore and crunch.

The Book: We discuss the massive physical fold-out art pages , the new "Dragon Pacts" subsystem , and why the Dragonblood Ancestry might be a little too powerful at level 1.

This isn't just theory—it's our six essential, practical tips for crafting a complete and unforgettable TTRPG experience in a single session.



A Strong Start: Learn the one-sentence method to focus your entire adventure.

Shared History: The simple trick to get the action started faster and make your party feel like a team.

Time Clocks: How to use in-game and real-world pressure to create excitement and force dramatic decisions.

One Great Encounter: Design a single, dynamic combat that changes mid-fight and goes beyond just killing monsters.

The #1 Pitfall: Discover the common adventure element you should almost always avoid to keep the game moving.

Hey there, goblins! 👹 This week, we're doing a deep dive into one of the most unique parts of Pathfinder 2E: Focus Spells! But first... you asked for it, so you're getting it. We spend a good chunk of time recounting the absolutely WILD and epic moments from our recent games. We're talking...

Edge Watch: The lynchpin of a three-year campaign is revealed! 
Rise of the Runelords: An emotional cliffhanger involving family drama, a soup ladle, and a goblin siege! 
Delta Green: A cinematic firefight at a strip mine! 

After we recover from all that, we get focused! 🧐 We break down what Focus Spells are, how they've changed in the remaster, and why they're so important for defining your character's power fantasy.  Then, we go class-by-class through the Player Core 1 and pick our absolute favorite, most flavorful, and most powerful Focus Spells for Bards, Clerics, Druids, Rangers, Witches, and Wizards.

Grab your spellbook and get ready to salvage the best damn spells in the game! ✨

Hey there, goblins! 👹 This week, we're blasting off from Golarion and getting weird with the new Starfinder! Join us for our first look at the Starfinder Galaxy Guide, the very first book for the new edition, released even before the core rulebook. Is this a genius marketing move or just a cosmic tease? 🪐

Before we jump into hyperspace, we share what we've been playing : chaotic stories from our Delta Green campaign (CDC lockdowns , creepy babies , and homemade mustard gas ), plus tales of hag-slaying in Blood Lords  and Eric's play-by-post game of desert kaiju and sentient illusions.


Then, it's all about the Galaxy Guide! We break down...


- Who is this book for? Is it worth the gold for players & GMs? 


- The Sci-Fi Kitchen Sink: How to run Dystopian , War-Torn , or just plain Weird  campaigns.


- The Lore: We recap 300+ years of history, including "The Gap" , the Swarm , and the birth of a literal baby god.


- Factions & Weird Ancestries: From Space Pirates  and Hellknights  to floating brains (Contemplatives ), body-horror shape-changers (Astrazoans ), and empathic dragons (Dragonkin )!


So strap in, check your oxygen, and find out if the new Starfinder gets the Goblin Salvage Rites seal of approval! ✨🚀
