This system blends the crunchy, high player choice character building of <em>Pathfinder</em>&nbsp;with a wholly original science fantasy setting, and there's really nothing like it. If you've ever wanted your space wizard to cast&nbsp;<em>doom scroll</em>&nbsp;(and yes, it does exactly what you think it does), this is the game for you.</p><p><br></p><p>In this exciting finale, our crew of completely licensed and insured adventurers is faced with their foe in the computer core -- and has no choice but to turn up the heat. We also discover that a door, once locked really well, sometimes has to be unlocked equally as hard. Our hard-fighting core technician team include:</p><ul><li>Liz as Zee, a Skittermander Witchwarper, which means she's about three feet tall, has six arms, is covered in fur, and is just the most adorable reality-warper ever.</li><li>Joe as K'sol, a Shirren Mystic, making him a psychic bug-man from the stars.</li><li>Phil as Sobok, a Vesk Soldier, who is seven feet of scaly lizardman with a two-handed chainsword.</li></ul><p><br></p><p>This is the last in our three-part actual play series of&nbsp;<em>Starfinder</em>&nbsp;-- look for new episodes every Monday, and&nbsp;<a href=\"https://blizzardwatch.com/2025/11/10/tavern-watch-plays-starfinder-episode-1-well-take-third-option-nobody-dies/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">listen to episode 1 to start from the beginning</a>!</p><p><br></p><p>This game was played using the second edition of Paizo's&nbsp;<a href=\"https://paizo.com/starfinder\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Starfinder</em></a>, which expands their&nbsp;<em>Pathfinder</em>&nbsp;game into space.
