Ring Side Report- RPG review of Starfinder Beginner Box
Originally posted at www.throatpunchgames.com, a new idea every day!
Product- Starfinder Beginner Box
System- Starfinder
Producer- Paizo
Price- $29.99 here https://miniature-market.sjv.io/GmOnOE
TL; DR- Good with a few issues 90%
Basics- To the stars! The Starfinder Beginner Box is the intro box for the Starfinder RPG, walking players through some basic character generation, how to play, and an intro adventure. It also provides dice, maps, and cardboard standees.
Mechanics or Crunch- What’s here is good, but is is missing a few key things. The walkthrough of how to play is a solid introduction to the game. But, and it’s a big but, it does leave out several things like starship combat. I LOVE Starfinder so that’s something that I think needs to be shown off. Also, as the GM, some of the skills are mislabeled. The skills that are used are simplified versions of the main skills to make life a bit easier for new players and GMs, but I feel that kind of handicaps the learning experience. That all said, it does work well and is a decent introduction to the system. 4.25/5
Theme or Fluff- The box set gives a solid introduction to the world and system, if a bit stifled. You get enough, but the adventure is a dungeon crawl. Not bad, but a bit simplified for an adventure. There are some social interactions, but I’d like more. The Pathfinder 2nd ed. Beginner box has two whole levels of dungeon, and I feel this was just a bit short. It works well, but I wanted more. 4.25/5
Execution- What’s here is fantastic. I love the maps, standees, and books. Everything that is included is done well. Solid work! 5/5
Summary-This is a good, if short, introduction to Starfinder. I like what’s here, but just need more. I want a short space shootout. I want more social. I want full skills,not simplified ones. But those are small wants compared to my friends who learned the system quickly from the box, and myself who was able to GM a game on the fly with minimal prep using this starter set. It’s good, but you will learn more when you buy the full book. 90%

DM'd this beginner box and it was a ton of fun. The flip mat and all the figures really helped the folks I was running the adventure for be able to get into it. I plan on buying a lot more starfinder stuff and running the Dead Suns campaign soon, this was a great way to get my feet wet as a DM.

A good, simplified take on the Starfinder rules set. I actually wish some of the simplified rules were standard.
