Starfinder Beginner Box Announced!

It will be interesting if there is a Humble Starfinder Bundle with this in it.

The Pathfinder bb Humble bundle (the reason I'm playing PF today TBH) was like 5 years after it was released, and I assume this won't be out until holidays or 2019. So here's to hoping for 2024 Starfinder Humble Bundle!

It's twitch.tv/officialpaizo

The videos are available there, but they're still the uncut recordings of entire days of seminars. I'd rather not wade through 8 hours of video to find the section I want to see...

The seminar recordings will be released by the Know Direction team sooner or later, so personally I'm waiting for that.

Thanks for the info. Yeah the whole thing is a bit messy without some cut down footage for specifics.

I am hoping the rules are closer to the core SF rules so the SF beginner box doesn't feel like a different rule set, Like the pf beginner box.

Is this instead of or in addition to a book next northern hemisphere spring?

Shouldn't this have been like the 1st starfinder product, instead of coming in a year or so later?
Better late than never I guess.

Yes and no. While yes, it would have been great to have a starting box from the get go, they also had to create the game before hand. Putting all of the rules and what not together in one book was a mythic task in itself, and then they had to gauge the customer reaction to the product to see if it warranted such a product. I assume Paizo sees Starfinder as a selling good-enough selling product to spend the time and energy on a starter box now, as well as upping their production times with more releases this up coming year. I get your point, but I also believe the Pathfinder beginner box didn't come out with the first edition of Pathfinder and came along much later.

I can see the logic in that.

Anyone else have to look twice cause they thought the box said "Beginner Eox" ?

I'm genuinely curious about the answer to this question!

Now that you've pointed it out, I had to look twice because I didn't see that. Talk about missed opportunities, guys! You were one letter off!

(I'm looking forward to Beginner Box with two Bs, actually. It should be pretty great.)

Very much looking forward to see if I can't get one of these for my Gaming Club I advise for at the HS I work for. I know a lot of the kids that were there last year were new to the systems and it'd be an awesome way for them to learn.

Awesome! The Pathfinder Beginner Box is the whole reason I was able to get my group (they’re mostly new to RPGs) to start playing. We’re now in year two of my campaign! This will be a great way to get them to finally try Starfinder as well.

Is Paizo going to also release mini adventures similar to the Beginner Box Demos?

I presume so, but I would also like to hear an answer to this. Having a set of mini-adventures seems obvious considering the Beginner Box is also being marketed to new GMs. They will need something to run as they get accustomed to the rules.

They would also serve as the basis for "basic" games that we could add to the Pathfinder Academy program targeted at kids. There is a growing request for Starfinder to be added to PSA.

It also would be great if the "Starfinder: Iconic Heroes" miniatures would be available by the time the box will be released, as was the case with the "Pathfinder Beginner Box" & Iconic Heroes minis.

I also wonder if the BB will include starship combat or not...

Any chance we'll get a sneak preview of the streamlined character sheets?

Really excited for this BB! I've got a 12 y/o & 8 y/o I'm ready to graduate from HQ to Starfinder BB.
