This is brilliant, just what I need! Mind if I reproduce it(with credit and backlink of course) on the wiki for my game?

Good, solid work sir!

Check out the Dragonstar books from Fantasy Flight Games. They're written in 3.0, but that's easy to convert.

It is exactly what you are suggesting, standard fantasy world advanced to somewhere near Buck Rogers / Star Trek levels. Great stuff on the difference between magic and tech as well as a lot of well thought out rules that can easily be polished.

Look for the Dragonstar Guide to the Galaxy, saw one on Amazon recently for about $10. That's where most of the stuff you're looking for is, although there are only about five or six books. I like them all.

Fantastic News! Keep up the great work! There are still many of us using d20 Modern out there!

I'm working on converting the Planescape and Spelljammer settings (For the Official websites. I'm a site manager on one and regular contributor on the other) to Pathfinder right now and something like that would be insanely helpful.

To clarify: I'm looking for a list or lists that detail exactly which spells, feats, etc were removed in the change to Pathfinder. I find references to one or two here and there, but I'm digging through over 500 pages of 3. compatible data.

Help me Obi Wan Paizo! You're my only hope!

Please, oh please let it be psionics!

I, for one, wuld rather wait a few days longer and get a higher quality product. By the same token we should all remember that Paizo, despite its huge position in the industry, is still a comparatively small shop. Having experience with the publishing industry I am impressed with their achievements and am willing to cut them some slack.

I also refer readers of this thread to the aforementioned impact of massive downloads on their system. I'd rather have their IT ready for it so we don't see the servers crashing constantly while everyone mobs the net for their Pathfinder goodness.

Bravo Paizo, across the board.

3.5 Thrives!

I would like to second this request. Having access tot he standard layout makes design much easier.

Lovely stuff and solid design. Useful for playing in Mulhorrand, Osirion, or any Egyptian flavored campaign setting. Since I run a 3.5 / Pathfinder based Planescape game I found it extremely useful.

While I love a lot of what I am seeing in the Pathfinder RPG I must note that I have some grave concerns about backwards compatibility with 3.5. The extensive reboots of the main classes are a good example.

What about all of the other classes (non -OGL) that are out there? While I know there is no way to port the non-open content over it is still an issue. What made me jump up an down cheering was the consistent stress in the press release that this would not invalidate your existing game library, but looking at the classes and races I am not so sure. To adhere to the new "3.75" rules will require much more conversion than is implied.

I still applaud the effort, it shows a level of connection with the gaming community that WOTC/Hasbro has lost. I also thing the CMB is one of the best things I've seen so far! Long needed and much appreciated.

I will playtest and follow the evolution of this project, but I am still somewhat skeptical of the claims that it will just plug-n-play with existing 3.5. I'm betting it will be more like 1st edition DND and 1st edition Gamma World back in the old days, relatively easy but always requiring extra book keeping.
