As far as moving to get away from the possible apocalypse in November, heading North is a possibility. We Canucks are a friendly people and the social conservatism and other nuttiness (mostly) stops at the border. The only thing that might mess that up is if certain people have War Plan Red the 21st century version in their back pockets. Of course if that happens, the Brits, Aussies and Kiwis might not be in great shape afterwards either.
I'm interested in this overall. I was a fan of Star Trek (particularly TNG and DS9) and Babylon 5 before getting into D & D so this is an interesting idea. One thing I am curious about is the core races for this and thus far for me personally, I'm excited about Androids and Lashuntas, but the Ratfolk are just not a race I have ever been overly enthused about. They're in so that's fine but I don't think I'll ever make a Ratfolk character. In science fiction and video games and other places, there have been cat like aliens so hopefully Catfolk will get in, maybe not as a core race although I would be happy about that, but some where in the setting as a heroic race (maybe have a faction or variant of the race going the Kzinti route but hopefully if Catfolk do get in to StarFinder they will be a heroic race by and large and regarded in setting as a generally heroic race like Lashuntas or Androids or Humans will likely be). Reptilian aliens have also been present in SF and video games, etc. so Nagaji, Kobolds, Wyvarans (a real stretch on that one, but just putting it out there as a possibility) and possibly Reptoids from Bestiary 5 as well. Kasathas would be too powerful for a core race probably but if they could be a core race I would be quite happy. Also based on this quote: James L. Sutter [i wrote: Creative Director[/i] wrote:]So how does all this science fantasy goodness fit into the Pathfinder setting? Simple: Starfinder is set in Golarion's solar system, but far in a possible future—one in which the gods have mysteriously spirited Golarion away to an unknown location, and refuse to answer questions about it. In its place, the cultures of that world have evolved and spread throughout the solar system, especially to a vast space platform called Absalom Station. Gifted access to a hyperspace dimension by an ascended AI deity, the residents of the system suddenly find themselves with the ability to travel faster than light, and the race is on to explore and colonize potentially millions of worlds. But there are horrors out there in the darkness... I wonder if this actually means that the races of the OTHER planets (Castrovel, Akiton, Verces, Triaxus, etc.) in Golarions solar system have evolved and spread throughout the solar system, which could get elves into the setting more fully as the elves had substantial populations on both Castrovel and Golarion. Then again this could just be an attempt to make sense of that paragraph and the meaning will be made clear in time.

A couple questions. One Canada's even with Australia at eight a piece by my count (and the count of David M Mallon's map) and what exactly is this "Our Resource-Rich But Disaster-Prone TMI Territory" that I keep seeing on your list?

Just to get back to our regular reason for coming to this thread... Belkar may be suspicious but he might need a bit of work on how to resolve the issue.
Okay I'm a bit late to this discussion but just to put in my 2 coppers Beaver and Giant Beaver (we even have a prehistoric critter for this one - Castoroides) More Inevitables, more Angels, more Archons, more Agathions, more Asuras, more Oni, more Proteans. For prehistoric life that either are dinosaurs or in the bestiaries get lumped in with them: Therizinosaurus; an ornithomimid (Gallimimus, Struthiomimus, etc.) an ichthyosaur and a gorgonopsid. For megafauna, Paraceratherium, Elasmotherium, Moa, and Archaeoindris. A non-mystical dogfolk race like the catfolk or ratfolk. A new order of true dragons, maybe a bit like the Hex and Tome Dragons that showed up in Dragon 343, focusing around a particular school of magic. Maybe some critters from the Cambrian Anomalocaris and Opabinia for a start.
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our Island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the Old.
I'd have to go with TNG/DS9 era Star Trek for SF. Replicators, transporters, holodecks (fully immersive D&D sessions and video games among other things), interstellar travel it all adds up nicely. Also I don't think I would find being there overly annoying like some posters seem to think would be the case, but then I've been a TNG & DS9 fan for many years anyway, so I might be of a somewhat different perspective. Babylon 5 would also be very cool in its own ways. For Fantasy, the far from the front lines areas of Eberron, pre-Spellplague Realms and/or Golarion would work, especially if in transferring over there I developed the abilities of some sort of caster (cleric, oracle, druid (if I got transferred to a wilder area), wizard, sorceror, witch) but yeah I'd probably avoid fantasy worlds as much as possible since you'd be quite easily squished, eaten or otherwise die in short order.
Radicalism is “the conservatism of tomorrow injected into the affairs of today.” - Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary “I am in every fibre of my body a radical” - Theodore Roosevelt “I tell you the so-called radicalism of our times is simply the effort of nature to release the generous energies of our people.” - Woodrow Wilson “A radical is a man with both feet firmly planted in the air”-Franklin Delano Roosevelt “Don’t get the idea that I’m one of these g&!!&+ radicals. Don’t get the idea that I’m knocking the American system.” - Al Capone “If a man is right, he can’t be too radical; if he is wrong, he can’t be too conservative.” - Henry Wheeler Shaw, pen name Josh Billings

360. In the 1950s, around the time of the Suez Canal crisis, France joins the UK (with the Queen as head of state) after some delicate negotiations. The United Kingdom of Great Britain, France and Northern Ireland becomes the new economic heart of Europe and creates a very different Europe from the one we know today.
359. A whole bunch of different choices that would ultimately lead to this North America.
