Just go to dtrpg and search for "free league quickstart". You'll find a bunch.

Learn to resist the lure of the shiny! :cool: Also, learn to see through the sunk cost fallacy... :unsure:

I dunno, calling those supplements "free" seems a little shaky to me. If, for example, you're backing at the $35 PDF level, you only get the adventures. To get the settings as well, you have to go up to the $70 level. And if you're at the lowest pledge level, $19, you get none of it. Having a...

Because the Tolkien Estate made them change some names, and Gary held a grudge forever.

At the high school where I work, the student body used to organize "killer games" until a few years ago. Interestingly, they had no idea there was a published version of rules for this, knowledge of how to play had just spread through word of mouth. Nowadays they've mutated it into a more...

Seems an odd way to describe a book full of NPC stats, but I guess it was useful to some GMs.

I would hope that before you make a purchasing decision, you'd do a little more research than just reading a single marketing blurb. It's not like it's especially hard to suss out what Starfinder is like. And if you're not thinking of buying it, why would you care?

And now you know.

Do you mean the specially powered magic stuff from the GM Core? If so, no, that's not what seems to be going on in Starfinder. 2e looks to have the same system as in 1e, where you have to go shopping for new stuff every couple of levels.

That sounds like a great solution. Unfortunately the Archive of Nethys linked by Velderan shows they still have huge lists of armor and weapons gated by level and price. This makes me sad. Well, mostly I'm sad that Daggerheart inexplicably chose to copy this system, but I guess that's off topic...

Speaking as a GM, what made me bounce hard off Cypher was mainly the vague and handwavy monster design. Which I haven't seen any comments about, but it seems a pretty core thing to the game and unlikely to change...

Do you still need to upgrade your weapons and armor every few levels from those endless lists?

There's a limited selection of stuff here: https://shop.petersengames.com/ Nothing from the Cthulhu 5e range, though.

That's funny, I have a completely different take on it. IMO the issue was that after the war storyline was wrapped up with the peace conference, that was it. Everything they had been building to was finished. But Matt had started the campaign with the (at least implicit) promise that each...

Nope. Nothing from that line is on Petersen Games' website or DTRPG. I know you could still get the PDFs a couple of years ago, but now they've been scrubbed from the net.
