Hello, Pathfinders and Starfinders! 🏳️🌈🛡️🚀
As we continue through Pride Month and witness the power of collective action around the world, we’re reminded that our greatest adventures often begin when we stand together against injustice and fight for what’s right. Yesterday’s No Kings protests across the United States and globally—including the historic gathering at the Place de la Bastille in France—showed us the strength of millions united against tyranny and the erosion of human rights. In many ways, these global protests felt like one of our multi-table interactive specials: different groups in different locations, each contributing their part to a shared mission, with success depending not on every single table completing every objective, but on the collective effort of all participants working toward the same vital goal. Like the students of the Magaambya in Pathfinder’s “Strength of Thousands” adventure path, we see that true power comes not from oppression, but from knowledge, unity, and the courage to stand up for those who are marginalized or silenced.
In our gaming community, we continue to champion these same values: inclusion, respect, and the belief that every person deserves to see themselves represented and celebrated. Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or just picking up your first set of dice, our tables remain spaces where every story matters, every identity is honored, and every hero can shine.
This weekend brings incredible opportunities to celebrate our hobby and community—Southern-Fried Gaming Expo is THIS WEEKEND (Friday through Sunday), and Free RPG Day happens THIS SATURDAY! We’re thrilled to announce we’ve received the green light to offer Free RPG Day content at Southern-Fried Gaming Expo on Saturday, and we’re more than ready to share the joy of tabletop gaming with convention-goers and newcomers alike…

🧙 Closing Message
As we witness the power of collective action both in our world and in our stories, we’re reminded that every table we gather around is an opportunity to practice the values we hold dear: standing up for the vulnerable, fighting against injustice, and creating spaces where everyone belongs. From the protests in the streets to the adventures on our maps, we see that true heroism comes from ordinary people choosing to do extraordinary things together.
This weekend, as we celebrate Free RPG Day and gather at Southern-Fried Gaming Expo, we carry forward the spirit of community that makes both our hobby and our world better. Whether you’re rolling dice for the first time or saying farewell to beloved Starfinder 1st Edition adventures, remember that every story we tell together is an act of hope—a belief that tomorrow can be better than today.
May your dice roll high, your courage never waver, and your tables always welcome those seeking their place in the adventure.
See you at the table.
