I wanna try Starfinder and I'm wondering if anyone knows if the system is enjoyable or not.
Anyone here play Starfinder?
It's pathfinder in space.
That should tell you everything
Why would you do that to yourself. There are dozens of better systems for that a lot less complicated, like Gurps.
Or Traveller, Cepheus engine, Eclipse phase and dozens and dozens indie ones.
It's really not good.
Learn either Traveller or Gurps if you want something more Scifi and realistic-ish, or Stars Without Number if you really like the idea of D&D adventures in space.
I second stars without number,at least all the tools it has are top tier.
...
That's definitely true. Pretty much everything Kevin Crawford has made is a fucking goldmine of guides and tables and resources for the genre
It's fine I guess. If you specialize for something you are actually good at it. There you go, one thing better than 5e.
Too bad about the massive hp bloat and shitty equipment section though. And that the typical DM will make you roll 20 different skills to succeed at unscrewing a ship grate.
playing tonight actually. Its not bad if you ignore ship combat. Though the economy is kinda fucked, they literally said "we're not gonna worry about your party making money any way but killing shit", so crafting everything is the cost effective way to go as everything is made from UPBs and you only need like 50-75% of the total cost of the item in UPBs and they never get inflated or are in short supply from what we can tell.
Some of my friends played a game. Their observation was thus:
>If you play a caster, you can't deal damage.
>If you play a healer, no, just don't it's not worth it.
>If you play a martial character who uses physical ranged weapons, you are basically firing money at the enemy and that's painful to think about.
That being said, you can still break the game very easily.
