[QUOTE="Dragonhelm, post: 9137079, member: 3867"] When I think about the type of Starfinder game I would want to run, I think about a few things. First, turn the Starfinder Society into a pseudo-Starfleet. Not as rigid, no uniforms, but definitely an organization based on exploration. The heroes, though, might be more akin to the Guardians of the Galaxy. Second, I would turn Absalom Station into the Starfinder version of Babylon 5/Deep Space 9. I'd like to create a few locales the players might frequent. Now, I think that's all doable and sounds right in tune with what Starfinder is. The part where I get stuck is where I want Starfinder to cross over into the D&D multiverse. When Golarion was first introduced, it was described as "an old new world." In other words, it was a new setting, but many of the themes should feel familiar. From those early days, Golarion felt every bit like a D&D world. It just had a different label, is all.
