About the adventure
This game is part of my “Learn to Play” series, designed specifically for players who are new to Starfinder 2nd Edition or tabletop RPGs in general. We will begin with a focused, practical introduction to the system’s core mechanics. I will walk you through how the game works: dice resolution, character abilities, action economy, combat structure (if applicable), roleplay expectations, and any unique system features that define the experience in a short 1-2 hours, so bring your questions! After a structured rules overview, we will move directly into a short, self-contained adventure built to highlight the system’s strengths. You will have the opportunity to pick a pre-made character or quickly put one together yourself! I run these sessions as both an educator and a storyteller. My goal is not only to teach you how the rules function, but to show you why the system is fun. By the end of the session, you will understand the fundamentals well enough to confidently join your own games game. No prior experience required. Beginners are absolutely welcome.

About me
Hey, I’m Jayke. Game Master, published writer, game designer, queerfolk, and a person with “too many creative hobbies” and not enough restraint to stop picking up new ones. My games tend to focus a lot on character, consequence, and letting the story grow naturally from the decisions you make. I’m not here to fight the players. I’m here to take you seriously, see what you do, and figure out what happens next. I’m not a perfect GM by any means, and I’ll be the first to say it, but I try my best, adapt to what my players need, and genuinely value critique and feedback so I can make the best experience possible for everyone at my table. I love running for new players, experienced players, and anyone in between. You don’t need to know all the rules. You just need to show up, engage, and be willing to exist in the world for a few hours with me. Best case scenario, we tell a great story and have a great time. Worst case scenario, I TPK the table, question my life choices, and we try again while laughing about our terrible decisions.

Creating your character
You do not need to create a character in advance. Character creation will be taught during the session as part of the learning experience. I will guide you step-by-step through the process so you understand not just what to choose, but why those choices matter mechanically and narratively. We will use Discord, Demiplane, & FoundryVTT for digital character sheets and gameplay. All instructions will be provided live. If you already have experience with the system and would like to bring a character, message me first so we can confirm it fits the session’s level and structure.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Requirements: 1. Discord account, where we will be in a shared call for play 2. Demiplane account, which will be used for character sheets 3. A Quiet Space to play, with little interruption if possible 4. A Computer, Microphone, and Headphones (Webcam optional) Additionally, I do prefer players showing up 15 minutes before starting time, but I understand that's not always entirely possible, so it is not required.
What Jayke brings to the table
What I provide: 1. Free-to-use browser based Virtual Tabletop (Foundry) 2. Shared Starfinder 2e starter content (through Demiplane) 3. A Discord chatroom and voice channel for game communication When it comes to the more abstract things: I use a Virtual Avatar of a bear for every game I run so players have a visual aspect to their GM. Additionally I use a open-source bot to play Music and Ambience, as well as doing voices for characters (to the best of my monotone ability). I am a loose rule follower and always prefer "coolness" over by-the-book rules. My only important note is that I don't like argumentation at the table, if there is a conflict I will address it swiftly and immediately to keep the game moving, and I will remove players mid-game if it becomes a problem.

Safety
How Jayke creates a safe table
All of my games feature three important safety systems to make sure all players are comfortable: 1. Tabletop Break Around halfway into every session, I host a 15-30 minute break for players to step away to use the bathroom, get more snacks, or just decompress. I have pretty severe social anxiety and understand some players need a break now and then. 2. Debriefing + Questions At the end of the session, I open the floor for players to give honest feedback on their experience, whether it be positive or critical. I do this so I can improve my games going forward, but also to make sure no on has a negative experience.
