Cosmic Crit: A Starfinder Actual Play Podcast

By Cosmic Crit

What's Cosmic Crit: A Starfinder Actual Play Podcast about?

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.
