I had completely forgotten that one of the host dragon's abilities is just called "Covered in Bugs." Anyway Starfinder Alien Core is releasing soon and it's VERY EXCITING.
And hailing from Starfinder 2e's Alien Core, we've got spooky space fantasy dragons! The Host Dragon is my favorite, what's yours~?

It's a much better book thanks to you and the rest of your team, Avi! @legalizegoblins.bsky.social
I don't think I ever announced this because I just forgot?? But in case you weren't aware... I was the editing lead on Starfinder 2e Player Core 👾👽😇 It was a lot of work, but truly a delight and a privilege.

Game journalists talking about new TTRPGs this year, don't forget about Starfinder 2e please!! It's a truly stunning science fantasy game built on the award-winning Pathfinder 2e engine. It was created by a super queer team. It deserves your attention!

Launching a new TTRPG is exhausting. So is Gen Con. But the outpouring of fan enthusiasm is an excellent reminder of why we work so dang hard to create these games. Be kind and fight on, Starfinders! Have fun with Starfinder Second Edition! #Starfinder #Starfinder2E #GenCon #TTRPG

Plus the all new extra crispy "lava chicken" flavor.
The Sunrise Maiden comes in flavors like Maraquoi Mint, Darkside Icy Blast, and Bubblegum

Some days I work with fancy spreadsheets and dozens of PDFs. Today I did much of my work with a notebook, a pencil, and the Starfinder Core Rulebook. Sometimes you need to go back to basics.

I'll be attending Norwescon in March! Anyone else attending? I'm hoping to be on some panels, and maybe... just maybe... I'll run some demos of Starfinder 2E!
