Starfinder 2nd Edition: Murder in Metal City is a deluxe adventure boxed set that plunges new players and Game Masters into a thrilling investigative journey on Aballon—the Machine Planet. Designed as a starting point for four 1st-level characters, this cinematic and suspense-filled module is packed with everything you need to run a premium, sci-fi mystery adventure in the neon-lit megaplex of Striving.

It begins with a strange message that draws six strangers together. They arrive at a bustling cyber-café expecting to meet an old friend—only to be met with a chilling holographic recording: “If you’re watching this, it’s because I’ve experienced an unexpected shutdown—in organic terms, I’m dead.” From this point, the party is thrust into a web of danger, deception, and deduction.

To solve the murder, players must navigate the dense sprawl of Striving, outwit cunning foes, survive deadly robots, analyse clues, and confront the killer hiding in the shadows. Will your crew uncover the truth—or fall victim to the city’s unforgiving streets?
