Cosmic Crit

When something small and hungry crawls from the shadows, panic spreads faster than fire. The crew must face their first true nightmare aboard the Kronus—and not everyone is ready to fight.

As the long-dead ship stirs back to life, so too does its forgotten crew. But with the air failing and strange shapes skittering in the dark, rescue may be the last thing anyone has in store.

Exploring the Kronus reveals broken labs, shattered lives, and something far stranger than a simple salvage job. But as alarms sound and the Montero’s fate is sealed, the crew finds themselves trapped on a haunted ship drifting into the unknown.

The Cosmic Crit crew takes on Alien: The Roleplaying Game from Free League Publishing! When the crew of the USCSS Montero awakens early from hypersleep, a mysterious distress call pulls them off course.

Join the Cosmic Crit crew one last time as we look back on Season 5: Horizons of the Vast. From colony building to swarm slaying, we reflect on the highs, lows, and lessons learned from our biggest campaign yet. Plus, we share our final thoughts on saying goodbye to Starfinder 1E before charting a new course into the future.

In the finale of Season 5, The Season Ending Story, the heroes of Cosmic Crit return to New Golarion with Rami’s aid, their long journey finally coming full circle. In Veridian Colony, they share hard-won wisdom, forge new bonds, and reflect on the battles that brought them here. One chapter closes, but the story lives on in the hearts of those they’ve saved.

Locked in battle atop the drifting crystal planetoid, the crew faces Umbriax’s devastating blasts of radioactive cold. As desperate gambits unfold, Jamphram and Zillex bring the mighty dragon down. With Krulveth restoring the orb and Rami arriving in the nick of time, the team seizes their chance to escape home.

Drawn toward the deadly gravity well of an undead white star, the crew navigates a perilous ring of crystal and rock in search of their prize. But their approach is cut short when Krulveth’s warship slams into the Peridot Peregrine, sparking a brutal showdown. Victory comes at a cost, as before Praedir can claim the altar, a vast winged avatar of Misaxanoi descends from the heavens.
