Plan a day trip to Golarion World!

Am I the only one who now wants a module about surviving Golarion World?

This is fantastic. I also kind of love that it's not quite right, with them thinking that Lastwall is way up in Brevoy. Feels like they're trying to recreate a planet from hundreds, if not thousands of years ago, that they've never actually seen, lol.

Gotta get park hopper tickets to visit all the lands!

I need that Tarbaphon as a plushie immediately :D

This is my favorite part of it as well. It also reminds me of EPCOT or other theme parks where the geography doesn't align with reality by the sheer nature of needing it to be a functional theme park rather than just a miniature scale version of a larger location.

We have already alerted our partners at WizKids/Kid Robot about this illustration's existence. Whether they do anything with it is up to them, but having reference art and existing demand for a potential plush never hurts!

We've been yelling about how much we want this since the book came out!

I would love love LOVE to have a plushy/funko pop of every figure in LO: Legends & Monsters of Myth….

I have, of course, made the Tar Baphon mascot illustration my Teamwork profile icon here.

I love Sprax and Moscaru so much.

If this doesn't become *at least* a 3-part adventure path, then why even tease us like this??? Cause I would play the schnitt outta this!!!

Did they fix the art for the PDF of this yet?

I noticed that too, and loved it. The one thing that would have made it even better would be time-period mixing. Like seeing Jitskan Land and Thassilon Land on the map. Or better yet, complete chaos with Yixing Land somewhere in this AR ~4709 Inner Sea.

One Tar-Baphon plushie please!
*grabby hands*

Isn't it a bit... wrong to have a theme park based on a planet that suddenly disappeared?

Was it built to cope with the loss or something?

The number of fun AP level ideas with Golarion World is just staggering.

One can choose how their own PC feels about it, but I don’t think it’s meant to be traumatic. “…all inquiries to gods and demons reveal that it still exists somewhere unreachable by magic, along with everyone that once lived on it.” So, it’s disappearance is mysterious, but not necessarily mournful.

It disappeared some time during the Gap, the Gap is already more than 300 years ago, and the park is based on pre-Gap records from millennia before. It seems like it'd be kind of like having an Atlantis-based theme park.

So where is the ride with the animatronic humans singing an extremely repetetive song, so I may drive myself a little loopy with it? Ustalav Land? I hope it's Ustalav Land... *twitches in memories of Strange Aeons*

*puppy dog eyes in agreement with calls for Tar-Baphon plush*

Animatronic? Pfff...

Living Holograms are more than suffisant for this ;)

. . . But what if they go on strike? (Although I suppose over-engineered animatronics might do that as well . . . .)

"That would NEVER happen. Why, everyone is HAPPY to work at GOLARIONWORLD!"

...starts whacking the side of his head to shake out the bad coding...

"You should definitely go to Golarionworld, Path-er, Starfinders! It is completely safe and your mission will be your doom well-funded and betrayed supported by your Society, just like all of mine!"

Maybe it's just me, but "things go catastrophically wrong at Golarion World" feels boring to me. Yes sure, Space-Jurassic Park is a real vibe, but it's also staid and, let's be honest, predictable.

Instead, I'd rather see more of a "slice of life" adventure on Golarionworld. Feels like the perfect place for a quest pack: 4-6+ low stakes mini-adventures, for example on the hover-go-karts, taking part in the Space-LARP Space-Boffer tournament, performing mild-to-moderate exorcism when the costumed-devils in Cheliaxland turn out to be real Devils (albeit low-level), and so on.

Maybe play with folks' expectations and have the adventure seem to be looming towards that Jurassic Park style catastrophic failure, but then pull back every time :D
- "Oh no, our energy-harnessing portal to the First World cracked wide, and now Fey spirits have possessed all of the animatronics..! Oh wait, they're just using their fairy tricksiness to conjure tarts and pies! Hooray!"

- "HELP, Brave Adventurers! Space-Azlanti are attacking! Their spaceship in orbit is charging weapons, we're all doo-oh wait, nevermind, they made a reservation for a destination wedding. They're just setting up some orbital aurora-lighting for the wedding dance party!"

One play on the things are not what they seem would be hiding something like a terrorist or freedom fighter training camp behind a surface of Golarion World playacting. The Knights of Lastwall reenanctors aren't only pretending to fight undead, they're also a hiding a Pharasman cell who recruit and train people to go hunting on Eox. Shackles Land is training anti-Azlanti smugglers. And so on.

In the after-hours Discord chatroom during PaizoCon, folks tossed around the idea that Paizo should finally publish an adventure titled "Test of the Starstone." It would, naturally, be a Starfinder Society scenario in which the PCs need to go through the Cathedral of the Starstone ride, which turns out to be some elaborate escape room-type experience, a la Gen Con's Living Dungeon.

Ideas I tossed out:

* On their way in, the PCs spot Cayden Cailean heading out the exit with friends, leaning over to them and saying, "Honestly, I still don't understand what we were supposed to be doing in there."

* When you leave the ride, you can purchase a photo of the exact moment you "ascended to divinity."

* Golarion World's hotdogs are called gobdogs and may or may not be made of real goblin dog meat.

* The wildest idea I tossed out: The spark of the adventure is that minions of <<the Salvation's End Big Bad; if you know, you know>> bust out of the vault complex by raiding Shantyspire Lodge and stealing a Starfinder ship. They plug in coordinates, looking for Golarion, and come up with Golarion World instead. The PCs, who happen to arrive on an unrelated job just as this breakout is happening, haven't even left orbit when the venture-captain frantically contacts them and tells them to chase down the rogue ship. The PCs then need to chase <<the Big Bad's>> minions to Golarion World and stop them when the baddies break into the Cathedral of the Starstone to steal the "starstone" for their master.

I would just like to point out, especially to those folks asking for different types of adventures or supporting material based on this section of Ports of Call, that all of the content in the book is fair game for someone to use in their own publication on Starfinder Infinite. I know I'd love to see some adventures on or expanded gazetteers of all of the worlds presented in PoC, so I imagine paying customers would too!

Followup adventure: Some already over-the-top celebrity goes on this ride, and goes nuts, and starts insisting that they really have ascended. Unfortunately, they have a LOT of extremely zealous followers . . . .

^Followup adventure to that: Thanks to the actions of the previous heroic adventureers, said over-the-top celebrity has been debunked . . . except that THEY AND THEIR ZEALOTS JUST WON"T SHUT UP OR BACK DOWN, and now civil war looms . . . .
