About the adventure
The Drift is breaking. Ships vanish mid-jump. Stations drift powerless in the void. Entire systems flicker in and out like dying stars. No one knows why. You’re among the unlucky souls caught in the middle of it all—stranded, hunted, or scrambling to survive as the galaxy’s fastest travel network turns into a cosmic graveyard. Welcome to Drift Crisis, a full campaign combining Drift Crashers and Drift Hackers, rebuilt using the new Starfinder 2e rules. This is a modern reimagining of one of Starfinder’s most beloved sagas—now faster, tighter, and more cinematic than ever. ⸻ 🕒 Time: Wednesdays 8pm ET 🎲 System: Starfinder 2e 🚀 Platform: FoundryVTT + Discord 🔥 Tone: Sci-fi survival, mystery, and high-stakes action with cinematic set pieces ⸻ 🔥 What makes this campaign special: This isn’t just a space adventure. It’s a systems failure on a galactic scale. You’ll start as survivors of a catastrophic Drift incident—trapped on crippled stations, dealing with desperate factions, isolationist aliens, corporate interests, and things that slipped through the cracks when reality glitched. As the campaign unfolds, you’ll uncover what’s really happening to the Drift… and decide whether to fix it, exploit it, or survive it. This version uses Starfinder 2e, blending Pathfinder 2e options for tactical depth with sci-fi action—meaning tighter combat, more meaningful choices, and smoother play. ⸻ ✨ Perfect for players who love: • Sci-fi disaster scenarios and survival under pressure • Mystery-driven plots with escalating stakes • Space stations, pirates, corporate intrigue, and alien factions • Tactical combat with meaningful character builds • Being part of a “classic story” reimagined with modern mechanics

About me
Hey there! I'm Gamersaurus Lex, a longtime player and GM who owned a local game store for about a decade. I am a happy-go-lucky extrovert that spent the last decade of his life running a FLGS and professionally nerding out with gamers of every age and disposition. I love running games with lots of excitement, fully realized NPCs, and a true open sandbox approach, even when we're running an established module. You want to ignore the module's storyline and chart your own course? I will make it happen! Prefer to play in one of my homebrew campaigns set in the Moonsea Region of the Forgotten Realms? Buckle up, you're in for a wild ride! I have decades of experience introducing new players to the hobby, at my game store, conventions, and at my home table, so you couldn't be in better hands if you're just starting out with TTRPGs or if you're switching systems. I have been a pro GM for about 20 years, and only recently started offering my services online with StartPlaying. Veterans will enjoy my games, too, especially with all the Easter eggs that pop up in every session. I tend to run D&D 5e, Pathfinder 2e, and Starfinder these days, but I have plenty of recent experience with 3.x, Savage Worlds, GURPS, and the many varieties of the Cypher System. And, let's be honest, given time to prepare, I can run any system if there is a group that really wants that system.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
We will create 1st level characters during session zero, but you can use Hephaistos, the online Starfinder 2e character generator to plan your character. https://sf2e.hephaistos.online/ We will start at 1st level and, although it won't be relevant until 2nd level, we will use the Free Archetype variant rule (helpful for planning).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need to be on Discord with a mic (webcam optional). My Discord server is here: https://discord.gg/T9tCHcRZ The Foundry VTT is hosted on forge-vtt.com, so you'll also need a free account so you can access the game on your web browser.
What Gamersaurus brings to the table
I will provide everything we need to play: maps, NPCs, music, etc. All you need to do is have a Discord account, a free ForgeVTT account, a computer and a mic (webcam optional, but a lot of us do use video and audio for maximum fun!).
Homebrew rules
I use a more generous variant of the Hero Point system, as well as Rules Lawyers' more generous version of the Aid and Recall Knowledge actions.

How Gamersaurus creates a safe table
