Howdy folks I was curious because this brought up in my discussion about the IG game I plan on trying to run and finish come hell or high waters. One player wishes to play one of the psychic magic classes, unsure which yet. While this is a 'oh cool your unique' I want to sprinkle some occult stuff through the adventure since they will be high and dry if they want to anything tied to their class. The Occultist I just plan on littering wreckages with trinkets, etc. to give hints to the Androffans culture that hold latent energy, etc.
Suggestions? I'd love to hear them.

I think the big occult links could be played out with ghosts from the folks long dead. Maybe remove a couple of robots and replace them with haunts and phantasms of the original crew. Give hints to the horror of the Dominon of the Black,and nurture that mystery through to somewhere in Valley.
I think when you get to Valley of the Brain Collectors, you could link the Lovecraftian aspects of the module to the occult aspects you've emphasized. I have a psychic in my game too, and I think he's going to have a sanity shock coming to him in that module, more so than in others...

One of my clever players has prepared an android kinetisist, focusing on lightning blasts and infusions. He has even thought of five previous lives that this android has undergone, and a catastrophic Technic League experiment that forced his reincarnation from the fifth incarnation to their current one, a transformation that shook not only their soul, but their body.
Now the electrical currents in their constructed body and the nanites in their blood are more erratic and powerful, manifesting in bolts of lightning that this android (who simply calls themselves Six, spelling it VI) has a growing degree of control over. Their powers will grow as they explore them, and their supposed transformation into the seventh incarnation may have been stunted by this development in their cycle of death and rebirth.
I'm excited to see how this plays out!

I just had one of my players surprise me with a request to play a githzerai on Golarion. Now my mind is abuzz with laser gun wielding psionic Dominon-aligned Githyanki on the hunt for a hidden githzerai habitat in Numeria. Now with a potential fourth Iron God, a lich queen on a starship over Golarion looking for some divine essence to work with. With the possibilities, I just can't say no...
