Product– Starfinder Playtest Scenario #2: It Came from the Vast!
System- Starfinder 2nd Ed Playtest
Producer– Paizo
Price– 5.99 here https://paizo.com/products/btq067lz?Starfinder-Playtest-Scenario-2-It-Came-from-the-Vast
TL; DR– Almost perfect space horror. 97%
Basics– In space, no one can hear how good this is. It Came from the Vast! is the second Starfinder playtest scenario. In it, space truckers find an abandoned ship, decide to make money on it, and find it is much more than they originally thought. This time for level five characters!
Mechanics or Crunch– So far so solid! The mechanics on display for the 5th level pregens and the five level adventure all work well. There is a variety of things here that the characters encounter, from monsters to haunts to skill checks. It’s just a solid experience for two hours. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– You’ve heard the beats before, but this song is still different enough to be fun. I too love me some Alien, but this one gets elements of The Thing involved as well. Solid fun all around, and different enough that my players and I all had a blast, even though we knew what was going to happen after we read the adventure description. 5/5
Execution– I liked this adventure, but it’s missing a few pieces. The standard layout of the PFS adventures with pictures at the end are not here. It has a good layout and is easy to read, but the pictures help me show players the monsters and other creatures involved. Also, I like the stat blocks to be separate. These are small things, but it hurts the presentation a bit. This is exactly the same as what I said for scenario one, and I still stand by that. 4.5/5
Summary– This is exactly what I want to see in a Science-Fantasy space horror. You got monsters, you got areas dripping with goo, you got space horrors and discovery, you got magic plant ships, you got ghosts of the dead. This is a fantastic short adventure that is easy to run, and fun for all. Give me back some of the older layout and this would be perfect. 97%

Product– Starfinder Playtest Scenario #1: Shards of the Glass Planet
System- Starfinder 2nd Ed Playtest
Producer– Paizo
Price– 5.99 here https://paizo.com/products/btq067m5?Starfinder-Playtest-Scenario-1-Shards-of-the-Glass-Planet
TL; DR-Dry but good intro. 90%
Basics– Go to new places, meet new people, and… make friends?! The drift crisis has opened up a world held in a glass bubble. This adventure gives a bit of world lore, a bit of mechanics, and a good chance to see how Starfinder 2nd Ed will work.
Mechanics or Crunch– This adventure works well mechanically. It has the basic breakdown of being a few skill checks to learn about the world that has been opened up, then some stuff happens, combat, trap, and final combat. It’s short, but all the DCs are within line of what to expect, and the combat is resonbably what I expected. You can not do anything too crazy in a level 1, so while short, it is expected and fun. 5/5
Theme or Fluff– This is a fun adventure, but not the most involved. As I said before, it’s skill checks, combat, trap, and final combat. Short, but not that complex. Then again, it’s level 1, so you can’t throw the PCs into too crazy an adventure. My players and I had fun, but be prepared to ham up roleplay. 4/5
Execution– I liked this adventure, but it’s missing a few pieces. The standard layout of the PFS adventures with pictures at the end are not here. It has a good layout and is easy to read, but the pictures help me show players the monsters and other creatures involved. Also, I like the stat blocks to be separate. These are small things, but it hurts the presentation a bit. 4.5/5Summary– This is a fun adventure, but maybe not the best Paizo has put out. It’s also a bit hard since it’s a level 1 adventure that is the same as a quest. Don’t expect multiple hours of crazy adventure, but do expect a short, fun intro to Starfinder 2nd Ed. It has a few faults, but that doesn’t make it any less entertaining. 90%
