Starfinder Galaxy Guide is my first real dive into the world of Starfinder, and I’m completely hooked. As someone new to the setting, I expected to feel overwhelmed, but the way this book is structured made it incredibly easy (and fun) to explore.
What stood out to me most is how the guide organizes content by types of adventures. From a Dystopian setting to the Weird one, it gives you ideas on how to run each style and points you to specific planets and regions in the galaxy where they fit best. Even without any experience with the first edition, I never felt lost.
One thing I have to say is that it doesn’t include a lot of rules. This is a book for GMs who are more interested in lore than mechanics. It’s not essential, but it’s full of ideas—and for me, it really sparked my imagination.
