Before we continue poking the bugbears contained in the Monster Manual, we ask writer and designer Eli Herman of Portal Jester Productions about their top 3 monsters. We somehow mostly learn about FATE instead.

In this episode of Epic Realms Podcast, I sit down with Toni Winslow-Brill, an accomplished RPG writer, editor, and project manager whose work spans multiple tabletop roleplaying game companies, including Dungeons and Dragons and the Adventurers League. Toni shares her origin story, from discovering a Monster Manual at a garage sale at age nine to attending her first Gen Con just a year later. She reflects on growing up during the Satanic Panic and how that era shaped her relationship with tabletop gaming and creativity. We also explore how her passion for writing influenced her educational path and early career choices. Our conversation dives into Toni's professional journey, including her work outside the gaming industry and how reputation, networking, and consistent delivery opened doors to new opportunities. She offers a candid look at how connections and trust fuel long term success in the RPG space. We spend time unpacking the often unseen side of RPG production. Toni breaks down the full lifecycle of creating a tabletop book, from writing and editing to layout, art coordination, and managing timelines across large creative teams. She gives insight into the realities of project management and what it takes to keep complex projects on track. We also discuss storytelling in adventure design, along with Toni's personal strengths and challenges as both a writer and designer. This episode is a thoughtful and behind the scenes look at the craft, discipline, and passion that drive the tabletop RPG industry. https://www.toniwinslowbrill.com/ Use Our DM's Guild Link - https://www.dmsguild.com/en/?affiliate_id=1089765 Use our Drive thru RPG Link -  https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/?affiliate_id=1089765 Also Check out our Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@epic_realms

Somewhere in the galaxy, a radioactive dragon just wants a hug. Unfortunately, it kills everyone it touches. Welcome to Starfinder 2e, where your best friends are undead, your space pirates have tricorn hats, and your digital ghosts won't log off. The RPGBOT crew dives into Paizo's new Alien Core, exploring the weirdest monsters, creepiest factions, and why Paradox 17 knows you're listening right now. Play Paizo Games with Ash Ely Want to explore the horrors of Paradox 17 or negotiate with an Abyssium dragon who just wants a friend? Book a game with Ash Ely on StartPlaying.games and experience Starfinder 2e, Pathfinder 2e, or your favorite tabletop RPGs with a professional GM who knows every monster in the book, probably because they created a few. Show Notes In this episode of the RPGBOT.Podcast, hosts Randall James, Tyler Kamstra, and Ash Ely dive into Starfinder 2e's Alien Core, the first major bestiary of Paizo's new edition. They unpack factions, dragons, and otherworldly horrors, comparing it to Pathfinder 2e's Monster Core while exploring how easily these creatures can jump between systems. Materials References in This Episode Starfinder 2e Alien Core (affiliate link) RPGBOT.Podcast Episodes Starfinder Galaxy Guide Starfinder GM Core Starfinder Player Core Key Takeaways Alien Core is Starfinder 2e's Monster Manual, but weirder, smarter, and full of story inspiration. Factions like the Corpse Fleet and Dominion of the Black make excellent recurring villains. The new dragons embody four magical traditions and range from tragic to terrifying. Undead get a sci-fi twist—digital ghosts, irradiated zombies, and vacuum-frozen nightmares. Paradox 17 is pure cosmic horror genius, perfect for high-level campaigns. Even Pathfinder GMs should buy Alien Core—the compatibility is seamless, and the storytelling potential immense. Paizo proves again why they're the gold standard for deep, mechanically rich monster design. Read More at RPGBOT.net Want to optimize your next Starfinder or Pathfinder character?
