Starfinder Adventure Path #12: Heart of Night (Signal of Screams 3 of 3)

Announced for January! Image and description are provisional and subject to change prior to release.

This sounds amazing

This AP goes from Event Horizon to Resident Evil to Hellraiser 2.

You know, I'm usually not big on published adventures, but I gotta say that Paizo has my attention with this one.

Sounds like Zon-Kuthon is involved.

While they are in the shadow plan plus we know kytons are involved tho apprently starfinder kytons have a new name

Hm, i like the two previous covers, but this one doesn't excite me.
The presumed Dr. looks like a zombie and those chained dogs are not as cool as Akatas.

While they are in the shadow plan plus we know kytons are involved tho apprently starfinder kytons have a new name

"These creatures call themselves velstracs. Kyton, an exonym exclusively used by mortals, spread when the kyton demagogue Kaikyton wandered the Material Plane, and her onomatopoeic name became associated with her followers by early mortals. The velstracs decided that the name kyton was flattering and most do not bother to correct mortals when this word is used."

I have mine!

Just got to look at the PDF. It looks like the spell Slithering Chain (Technomancer 1) is missing a range increment. Any errata on what the range should be?

What are the new monsters' type, subtype, size and CR? Are there any new playable races?

People with the PDF, can you just confirm something for me. Just downloaded my copy, and wondering if there is issued with a corrupted download or if it's the PDF itself.

Trying to say this without spoilers, so:

On the ship details of the front cover.

Under expansion bays, is it missing the "P" from Pact World under the reference document. Missing the "er" from the Science Officer of the Crew compliment?

On the Contents page, in the content warning, last line, is it missing the "A" of Adventure Path?

For me, there are missing letters throughout the document, and it's not taken me long discover them. I hope it's just a corrupt download on my side, that I'll try to work out in the morning.

And hopefully not a sign that it might of been printed this way, it would be a lot of effort as I struggle with my reading as it is.

I just checked, and my PDF also is missing those same letters.

Anyone with the pdf care to comment on the new Mystic connection?

I just wanna see Shadow Absalom Station... :3

You are in luck, it gets half a page! ;-)

Mystic Connection: Shadow:

The two Pathfinder creatures that get converted to Starfinder are:

Are the population and demographics of Shadow Absalom Station provided in the article?

Yep. It gets a half page descriptive write up and then the usual city stat block of population breakdown and such.

1.2 million people, 55% kayals (fetchlings), 22% d'ziriaks, etc.

Who is governing the city now? Is it still run by a dragon?

A council called the Cultured Assembly that is the powerful elites of the station. Although it does mention that a shadow dragon is on the council.

Whats new with the Kayal?

In addition to the random missing characters in the pdf, found a couple of (potential) errors in the new PC options.

1. Slithering Chain spell says it hinders a target within range, but no range is given.

2. The 9th shadow mystic connection power Shadow Puppet states "While you are invisible from shadow weaver or shrouded in shadow from shadow blend..."

Shadow blend is the 12th level ability and applies whenever you are hidden or invisible in dim light. The first part is trivial, the second part is redundant with the shadow weaver trigger. Did you man to say "or shrouded in shadow from shadow shroud..." which would require activation and RP expenditure, more in line with the other trigger.

1. The range for slithering chain should be close.

2. That sounds like an excellent alteration to the text. Consider it what we meant to say!

Every copy my FLGS got was misprinted. Around pg 33 it jumped to pg 49's content and then reprinted from there. Any other print buyers find this to be true? I'd love to reorder, but not if they're all like this.

They are not.

So, the Kayal portraits all depict augmented Kayal, right? I assume the glowy bits on Father Gloom aren't a new look for Kayal?

There is no mention of the kayal being augmented, other than the fact that this is a high level adventure in which the PCs and others of their level can probably be assumed to have augmentations of their own. Certainly the glowing yellow eyes are common kayal features.

The thing in part B3 of the final area reminds me of Silent Hill 4: The Room. I wonder if that's where the inspiration came from.

I don't think they mean "onomatopoeic". I think they mean eponymous....
