Starfinder novels


General Discussion


I am curious if any novels set in starfinder universe will be forthcoming? I have enjoyed some of the Pathfinder novels though the kindle pricing limits what I will purchase, I would like to see some starfinder novels. Perhaps the Iconic characters...


I would imagine it would depend on how successful Starfinder is.

I'd absolutely love some good Starfinder novels.


Given the Pathfinder Tales line is on hiatus (close to shelved, it seems) due to a lack of publisher, I think it’s unlikely we’ll see any Starfinder novels for a while.

They trialled some Starfinder stories at the back of the most recent Pathfinder comics, so hopefully they were well received.

+1. I liked the short comic, and i think a full comic arc would be awesome.


I think right now it is most of an issue of can they sort out their novel publisher issues. If they can then I would expect at least a few starfinder novels but no idea how their search for novel publishers is going.


My worry is that the longer it goes without a PF Tales line, the less appealing it is to a third party publisher. I’m guessing part of the lure from Tor’s perspective was subscription figures showing a committed customer base to build from. A new publisher isn’t looking at current sales figures any more but sales from a couple of years ago. That requires a larger leap of faith.

I'm hopeful, but we have been waiting on new Tales novels for a fair amount of time now.


From what I've picked up on and keep an ear about, SF Tales would be more likely than Pathfinder Tales continuing at this point without a rebranding. Though I remain hopeful and wanting for both very much ^w^


I would like to ad a +1 to the I would like some Starfinder novels or comics for that matter. Both would be preferable ;)

There is a short Satrfinder backup comic in the latest Pathfinder comic, Spiral of Bones. Check it out if you haven't already, and hopefully we'll be able to do some more comics in the near future!

Ooooo, yeah! Hire Crystal to write more on Skittermanders!


I personally think Starfiner is very new and looking at some of the other roleplaying games around its also very unique in story and game system. Its just about right ,so im guessing that in the future there will be novels to back up the merchandise and game...and if someone doesn't i probably will.

With Starfinder Infinite, anyone could produce a StarFinder novel for people to consume. Granted... that doesn't guarantee quality and may make some buyers leary, and I suppose the % of income from sales may not be high enough to attract too established of writers.

But the potential could be there. Might be a great niche of someone could feel inspired to put out some great Starfinder Novels, they might be able to make a name for themselves and help expand the Starfinder brand.


I've been wondering about this myself. I've really enjoyed the 20 or so Pathfinder Tales books I've read. What is Starfinder Infinite?


If you're familiar with DnD's DM's Guild, like that.

It let's people publish content using Pathfinder/Starfinder lore and assets for those games and settings.

Interesting. Thanks for the reply, Rysky. I may look into that. I've got an idea for a story.
