Starfinder Adventure Path

Starfinder Adventure Path is a series of periodical publications released by Paizo Inc. to support the Starfinder Roleplaying Game. Each volume consists of one main adventure, as well as new characters, creatures, and additional rules options.¹

History of Paizo adventure paths

Paizo started the tradition of Adventure Paths when they published the official Dungeons & Dragons periodicals Dungeon and Dragon . When these magazines were discontinued in summer 2007, Paizo continued the popular tradition, now set in their own proprietary Pathfinder campaign setting . The line was originally titled simply Pathfinder but was changed to Pathfinder Adventure Path when additional Pathfinder-branded product lines were introduced.²

Starfinder Roleplaying Game

Starfinder Adventure Path issues, which use the Starfinder Roleplaying Game rules, are also expected to function as the primary supplements for the Starfinder product line.¹

For the first eleven Adventure Paths, each volume is a 64-page softcover consisting of one segment of a three- or six-part series of adventures linked together by a story arc and theme, in addition to support articles. Starting from the Scoured Stars Adventure Path, the Adventure Path line switched to hardcovers containing a full campaign each.

When a fragment of an ancient alien superweapon surfaces in the depths of hyperspace, its discovery sets off a race to find the extraterrestrial doomsday device. Hopping from planet to planet in both the civilized Pact Worlds and beyond, the heroes must contend with both the undead Corpse Fleet and the nihilistic Cult of the Devourer, each of which seeks to acquire the alien artifact for its own purposes.
