Episode Summary: In this cosmic critique, the RPGBOT crew beams aboard the Starfinder 2e Player Core, phasers set to “analysis.” Between Randall’s family hijinks and Ash’s surprise character death, we dive deep into the shiny new mechanics, ancestries, and classes of Paizo’s sci-fi sequel. We break down the gear, the grit, and the glorious Vesk while exploring how the Pathfinder-compatible system tries to balance heavy armor with heavier expectations.

Whether you're building a star-powered Solarian or arguing with your GM about mixing Mystics into your Pathfinder campaign, this episode explores how Starfinder 2e hits orbit and what could still use a systems check.
