Tavern Watch Plays Starfinder, Episode 1: We'll take the third option, where nobody dies
🕑 Added 2025-11-10 17:00:20 +0000 UTCIt's time to take to the stars in search of interplanetary adventure as Tavern Watch plays Starfinder's newly-released second edition. This system blends the crunchy, high player choice character building of Pathfinder with a wholly original science fantasy setting, and there's really nothing like it. If you've ever wanted your space wizard to cast doom scroll (and yes, it does exactly what you think it does), this is the show for you.
In this case, our crew of completely licensed and insured adventurers returns to a spaceport to sell some very legitimately obtained goods and stumbles almost facefirst into a plot to take over, or destroy, the station! We can't have that, now can we? After all, we haven't even sold this weird statue yet. Our intrepid spacefarers include:
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.
Joe as K'sol, a Shirren Mystic, making him a psychic bug-man from the stars.
Phil as Sobok, a Vesk Soldier, who is seven feet of scaly lizardman with a two-handed chainsword.
This is the first in our three-part actual play series of Starfinder -- look for new episodes every Monday!
This game was played using the second edition of Paizo's Starfinder, which expands their Pathfinder game into space. The core books are all released at this point (and they're starting to release their more compact "pocket editions" of the core books), so if you like the game you hear on this podcast, you can check it out for yourself!
Music from this episode is "Start a Trek," by Edgar Henderson; you can check out more of his music on Soundcloud.

Thank you all for all that you do. This episode is a lot of fun. I clearly remember playing through this adventure when I played Starfinder years ago. It is wonderful to have some of my favourite people walking the same path that I’ve tread. I didn’t even know that I wanted you to play this while I was thinking about vampire the masquerade and werewolf the apocalypse and mage the ascension and wraith the oblivion and changeling the dreaming and cyberpunk 2020 and cyberpunk red and… lol
