Tavern Watch Plays Starfinder: Murder in Metal City, episode 3: When the answer isn't the end

from Tavern Watch Podcast

The team of adventurers-turned-detectives in our playthrough of Starfinder's Murder in Metal City has the body of Tier-99-Professor on their hands and the assumed murderer hot in their trail for getting too close -- but does anyone think they're really going to stop before they get answers about what happened? They'll delve into the depths of the Striving university archives and uncover something much bigger than a simple hit before it's all said and done, but that's because sometimes finding the answer is just the first step, not the last one.Liz Harper is the GM for this exciting finale; the group of intrepid folks who keep finding themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time are:Joe Perez as "Nitpick" Bennit, Ysoki Witchwarper, who always knows a guy, and is a daft hand with both magic and technologyPhil Ulrich as Lunar-17, Android Mystic, who's so terminally online that it gave her magic powersMatt Rossi as Tooth Hug, Skittermander Solarian, who could really use a snack right nowSpecial guest Trish Olson, a.k.a. AwkwardishPanda, as Jaedana, a Kasatha Operative gamer who's uncannily good with a gun, but doesn't know why she's hereThis is the final part in a three-part actual play series of the Starfinder 2E published adventure Murder in Metal City -- you can check out the first episode here and the second episode here, and be on the lookout for new episodes every Monday!This game was played using the second edition of Paizo’s Starfinder, which expands their Pathfinder game into space. We're really fond of this rollicking science-fantasy game system -- so much so that we've even played it before on the show -- and if you like what you hear today, you can easily pick it up for yourself!Music from this episode is “Start a Trek,” by Edgar Henderson; you can check out more of his music on Soundcloud.If you enjoy the show, please support us on Patreon, where you can get these episodes early and ad-free!
