Starfinder Basics: Fast Start & Introduction | How to Play Starfinder | Taking20

Welcome to Starfinder! In this video, I discuss the Starfinder Basics, like Stamina, Resolve, Feats, New Skills, and what to expect if coming over from Dungeons and Dragons 5e or Pathfinder. This video is one of many I'll be releasing to help you get a jump start on how to play Starfinder. So if you're looking for a place to find all you Starfinder guides, I've got you covered.

"Hmm, I have a Starfinder question. I'll just message Owen." Must be nice! lol

[fudgethemonkey]

Cody, you’re one of the realest and most enthusiastic people on YouTube, love everything you do you charismatic phenomenal storyteller, keep it up man!

[chaddixon]

I think Starfinder is going to be really fun. As someone who started out with 5E I don't have much experience with older editions of DnD but what I have seen from looking through rule books etc. is that the older editions definitely tried too hard to be simulations without going all the way and ended up in an odd place. That being said, while I like 5E I think that a game that has its streamlining with some more crunch would be great and I think Starfinder is that game.

[Briansgate]

My group has played 2 sessions so far and we are loving it.

After 6 years your guide to Starfinder series remains one of the most popular and comprehensive guides to understanding Starfinder as a whole. You've made great work and I only hope you come back and revisit the system one day now that several more books have been added. Cheers!

I love your DnD stuff; playing Starfinder for first time, so super thankful for this overview/intro -- thanks!!!

[misterspaceman]

DM in 2023 here, just wanted to say thank you. I'm just starting a sci-fi campaign and I'm learning Starfinder to run it, and your video helped simplify the new rules for me immensely. I feel a lot more confident now explaining the rules to my players, great vid!

I know I am late to the party for both this game and this video, but the Stamina/Hit Points and the EAC/KAC reminds me a lot to how Champions (and the hero system) did things. I that system they had Stun/Body and PD/ED (physical defense/energy defense). It makes it easy for me to wrap my head around what Starfinder is doing.

Playing my first Starfinder game tonight! Glad I decided to watch your videos. They're ahuge help!

[youcancallmeal]

i would say stamina is basically a shield like in borderlands with out recharge

[angelaoneal]

I'll be playing my first Starfinder game next month and appreciate your video to help me not feel like such a newb. I never played Pathfinder, but am a D&D 5e player/dm.

[missyjames]

I still think they missed a chance at renaming "Race" to "Species", would of fit the overall vibe a little batter just saying 😝

[antwan]

I just started my first starfinder game after six years of not playing since doing a year of pathfinder first edition. The gameplay is so familiar I'm picking it up right away and it feels just that fun sci fi . That I always wanted to try.

Cody I've watched a lot of your Starfinder week material, very solid and informative... I have the Starfinder core rule book and can't wait to start a campaign! I've played in a Starfinder Society event at a local convention and I agree that SF has a lot of promise. Props and kudos. Bomonro

I picked up Starfinder since I'm a fan of both Pathfinder and 5e and your videos have been informative and I've enjoyed much of the system. Now subscribed

[powerhouse]

HP & Stamina sound like a cleaner version of HP & SDC from Palladium's Rifts

[powerhouse]

I love the Bulk mechanic nice and easy. Thanks a gain for good info on this game. I never played pathfinder so watching this has been a big help.

[DynamoNED]

Thanks for this! Solid info for a quick start in Starfinder!

[poutinemcflurry]

Just got the starfinder core rulebook, and I'm super excited to play. I'm big into 5e, and this seems like a really cool new system! I'm not switching over from 5e, but I'm hoping this will become a second game I can play with my friends.
