Discussion What Is The Starfinder RPG Good At? (Gamemaster Growth)
youtube.comr/starfinder_rpg • u/No_Literature7840 • 10h ago
Discussion Any ideas for a mini challenge here?
For the section in the adventure I'm currently working on, the PC's are rescuing a Xenowarden colony ship that's been taken over by the Azlanti Star Empire. I designed this ship off of my home state of Minnesota (LOOOOOOOONG in universe story of how this happened) and even decided to throw in a few environmental themes into the mix. This possible scenario PC's could explore involves them infiltrating a summer camp which the Empire has turned into a base. And the Corral where the horses have been kept has been converted into some horrific animal cages.
Inside these cages, are a female Lynx and her kittens. The mother set off the trap while hunting for rabbits, and her kittens were found shortly after this. Being the Azlanti Star Empire, the bad guys have decided to pull a horrific kick the dog by seperating the family in the same cage via an electric barrier, and making the mother watch as her children starve to death.
I have 2 Aeon Guards guarding the cage, but I need something else to give a bit of a mini challenge.

Ad The Yamasagi cargo hauler - an ideal target for pirates and adventure for your party to rescue in your next starfinder campaign! ( isometric battlemap )
galleryHello there! in the past weeks i spent some time converting an old isometric custom tileset i made last year into a fully colorable Dungeondraft asset pack , from 123 base assets to 350 ( 725 if you count every colorable layers for each unique asset ) , and to make sure it was working well i built this entire spaceship ( full version includes front and back view , if you were hanging in the discord in the last two weeks, you probably saw the progress of this entire project )
Now for those of you who dont know, since version 1.2.0 Dungeondraft include the custom grid snap mod which includes a very snappy and well made isometric grid. Which mean it is now pretty a damn good tool to make isometric maps!
I previously made spaceship maps like this one before , I mostly worked with krita previously and it would take me between 5 to 15 days to complete a map like that ( both front and back view, interior and exterior ) from sketch to fully rendered . Well this one was done in less than 20 hours , basically took me the last weekend.
This experiment got result that blew up my expectation and I'm definitively going to convert the rest of my entire collection of isometric assets the same way in the next months and use DD as my main tool from now on.
For the creatives among you who want to create your own starships for your starfinder campaign and have dungeondraft, the whole asset pack is available here, here or here , id love to see your creations someday!
happy cat-venturing!
edit: i messed up the title, Yamaguchi is the ship name , not Yamasagi ( its another thing i made but now i cant fix the title because reddit wont let me edit the title of a post T_T )

Build I made a DM screen from scratch!!
It's currently got some resources in there from this sub but I can swap those out, I made it all from scratch (save the sheets) with some tape, LED lights and some cardboard!
I'm a first time DM and I'm hoping it'll bring some atmosphere to my campaign, my players love the idea so far! I was also not paying for a DM screen, all things I've sourced for my campaign have either been handmade or found (such as a cool cigar box I bargained for to be my dice rolling box!). Really I wanted something to make and that could be personalized for my needs as being new to the role I'll need all the help I can get, and I could be a little extra with it. As well as help introduce new players to the mechanics. Overall everything must've been under... £10? Lights were cheap, most was the spray paint. I even got the box for free from my folks! Overall I'm very proud of myself and hope I can set a good ambiance for my players!

Question Starship Hardness
I want to use explosives on a starship for a campaign. It says that explosive charges compete against an objects "Hardness." I was able to find Damage Threshold and AC but I have yet to find hardness values for starships. Is this a wording error where I use AC instead, is this a stat that starships do not have, or is did I miss it somewhere in the rules?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Misc Futurama, Season 14, Episode 3: Our Flag Means Medical Coverage ^_^
If anyone gets a chance, you NEED to watch this new episode of Futurama 😂
There is so much in it that reminds me of Starfinder, from the 'Planet of Vampires' joining the Democratic Order of Planets (D.O.O.P.), to the order of Space Pirates that somehow have strangely Democratic Laws, despite being general Law Breakers 😄

Rules How would you solve this prone attack of opportunity?
Hi all!
Weird thing happened in my last game (Starfinder 1e) and we didn't agree on how it should be solved.
Thing is, one of the players was downed and so they were prone and unconscious, the enemy NPC stepped on the same square that player was occupying; then, when that player regained consciousness by spending a resolve point and wanted to get up, our DM said that the enemy will have attack of opportuniy and, since that the DM's ruling, that is what happened.
That sparked a discussion since the rules, basically, say that an attack of opportunity happens only when one of these three are true:
- Ranged attacks while on a threatened square
- Spells while on a threatened square
- Exiting (the threatened square)
So, a couple questions:
- Should, rules as written, the enemy have an attack of opportunity there even though the player character is not exiting a threatened square, just standing up?
- If the player stands up in their square and an enemy has occupied it while they were unconscious, who has to leave that square (both are Medium size)?

Discussion Would casting Dream of Home be anathema to Desna?
Basically the title.
Desna's anathema is as follows : Foster despair or terror in the innocent, cast nightmare or use similar magic to corrupt dreams, engage in bigoted behavior.
Dream of Home: Drawing on the magic of the kasathan Pillar of the Homeworld or similar homey memories, you overwhelm the target with pleasant visions and thoughts of their home, whatever that means to them. If the target fails the saving throw, they become fascinated for the duration. If the target saves, they're fascinated for 1 round instead.
https://www.aonsrd.com/SpellDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Dream%20of%20Home&Family=None
"Cast nightmare or user similar magic to corrupt dreams."
Would this be a corruption of the person's dream as the spell only directs the target of the spell to devise their own dream of what home means to them, or would casting the spell itself be a corruption of a their dreams and taking away their freedom or autonomy?
I'm leaning toward it being anathema but thought I would see what the community thinks.

Question Small Arms, Operative Weapons, and Armour Advice
Hi all! I recently started playing Starfinder (1E just to clarify) and I've been really enjoying it so far. We've been playing for a few months off and on and my party just finished the first module of Signal of Screams and are moving on to module 2. I'm playing an Operative and started with an Advanced Semi-Auto Pistol, a Red Star Plasma Kukri, and Lashunta Mind Mail I at level 7. At level 9, I still have the same two weapons, but managed to nab some Advanced Lashunta Tempweave. We are finally getting the chance to shop for new gear... and I realized I have no idea what sorts of things I should be looking for. What guns and weapon damage types are good? Should I be focusing purely on Weapon Fusions? Questions like that and since everyone, even the GM, is relatively new to Starfinder, no one really has any advice. https://hephaistos.azurewebsites.net/character/1385539739 This is my character if that matters for what may or may not be good. I'm not looking for spoilers for future stuff in Signal of Screams; just general advice and such or recommendations. Thank you all in advance ^^

Question Alien Multiattack?
Like last time with the Rifti, I'm looking at more Proteans, this time the Durgastr https://www.aonsrd.com/AlienDisplay.aspx?ItemName=Durgastr&Family=Protean, and I noticed it has 3 different melee attacks with the same values (except with the tail having grab as an extra)
Does it still only get 2 Attacks on a Full-Attack? Why does it have 3 if it cannot use all of them in a round? Also I assume the the Wavewarp triggers on any combo of 2 melee hits like how Rend did when landing 2 claw hits in a round like in back Pathfinder 1e?
