Cosmic Crit is a weekly Actual Play podcast centered on the new Starfinder RPG from Paizo. Listen to the shenanigans as a seasoned GM, a couple of noobs, and some RPG veterans explore the galaxy and fight monsters on behalf of the Starfinder Society. It's a little roleplay, a lot of natural 20s (we hope), and plenty of fun.

  • Lots of fun. Should've ended in a horror movie cliffhanger like finding a red balloon tied to the captain's chair.

  • I love this crew! They have deep, interwoven stories, but they don't take themselves too seriously. And the action scenes are always amazing, edge-of-your-seat, and over-the-top!

Myles explains that while new to Starfinder 2e, the move from 1e and the streamlining in 2e are challenging but exciting, and the PDF resources help him get up to speed so he can focus on character concept and play style.
