The Starfinder team so far has absolutely nailed the look of special editions. This is the kind of incredible covers I wish the Pathfinder ones had!

Looks like acrobatics might be the one most people have, with Fiendy having the best one?
I have both! +7 and +8 respectively
I got no idea what kind of potion to go for -- where can I see them / do you guys have any suggestions for me?
Info: As we already have an arcane caster (a summoner) I'm currently thinking about playing my investigator with the Trapfinding class feature and a good Disable Device skill. But if you want to play a rogue, Arita, I can play my sorcerer, no problem! :-) I thought about it some, if you don't mind, I think I'd like to play Merisiel!
Any way to change the fact that it shows as filled? It might be possible people have glanced at the sheet, saw it says 6 and then moved on Also, first time playing first edition. I’m strongly considering a pregen to not overcomplicate myself but I’m still not fully decided
No glyphs! I’ll be glad to join up once I’ve figured this out after work!
So I've been informed that you can only do a character for PBP one at a time, this means I will need to swap characters or go for a pregen depending our level, sorry about that
Hello! Just signed up for this! Never done anything like this so I got no idea what to expect. I'm sure it'll be fun, though!
Wait it was YOU running Battle of Hellknight hill? That's awesome! I must've played at your table and I had no idea!
My teeth are wet with anticipation as one might say. Can’t wait for this to properly come out!
This was my first gencon and it was a fantastic experience! While participating in the multi table special was a huge highlight of the trip, I think my favorite part was hands down the Strawberry Machine Cake. That might be the best cake I've ever had! I demand you guys sell more of it somehow! (Or at least point us to good alternatives that might be around the same quality)
I think this is fantastic compromise! While unique boons are cool, I understand the reluctance to have people have to go through APs to make those sheets. Let's reward people for playing APs and engaging with Society while also keeping the workload lower
I mostly think it's confusing. Murder on Metal City at the end suggests you continue your campaign after by doing SFS, but also if you swap to running SFS scenarios, none of the XP the characters get transfers at all, unless the advice is supposed to be to run society without running society, which I think it's a bit odd
I’m confused, if you don’t issue chronicle sheets for Starfinder adventures, do they not give any XP for society? Say, if you play Murder in Metal City, how much XP is that?
Can we get some screenshots so we can get an idea?
Got to play this at gencon and it’s fantastic! Alex did very well with it. I’m gonna buy when available and run for my group!
Oh the bar seems fun, definitely gonna stop by. What times is it gonna be open?
I like this! As someone who isn't subscribed to four lines, I like that I'm able to have something. And I'm also glad you're taking last 12 months into account, I think I'd easily hit that Legendary threshold!
Glad to be a fan of this game, I am also now frantically looking for that society scenario so I too can help my players give folks the gender slushies the people deserve! If you're still looking, the scenario is 5-02 Blackwood Lost (there might be more, but that's the one that comes to mind) where one of the Faction Objectives is to give someone said serum. It's very sweet
My watch has ended as well!
Watch began as well! Best of luck everyone!
I know Under the Eye of the Mantis is, but is Collision’s Wake one of those multi-table special scenarios? It is only one table, but the setup with the iconics and the description doesn't allude to this being the case
My watch is over as well! Huzzah!
My watch began as well! Good luck to everyone, may your watch be short!
I've been meaning to get into Starfinder Society for a long, long time. This seems like the perfect time to do so :) My thoughts as well. I hope to be there for Gencon and begin actively playing Society for both games!
Something I was thinking about, after getting both the NPC Core and Thirst for Blood on foundry is how nice the token rings are. They look great and you can apply them to other tokens with the Foundry settings -- which does remind me: Other (though I don't believe all) Paizo products in Foundry, be it from APs or stuff like the old Bestiary token pack or the PFS foundry module, each have their own unique token ring that's thematic to the campaign. I'm curious -- would it be possible to sell a token ring pack to use? It could offer a compilation of the ones released thus far (as paying full price just to use tokens from another product is a little silly), especially the ones that aren't compatible with the Dynamic Tokens and new ones (maybe themed after APs that don't have a foundry version)! Just a thought
Any further update on the ETA? You guys should advertise it more! Have it in the find your path post or something! I only learned this came out because I was wondering if there was a new ETA and came to check! This is exciting
That's something that struck me about this book -- for a Megadungeon in a big ancient prison, the first book isn't much of a megadungeon nor does it take place in the prison for the most part, just the town and a cave leading to the prison. I am sure the second book is gonna fix that and we're gonna have a juicy megadungeon, though
Huzzah! My watch has ended!
And now my watch has ended. Wow, the warehouse is active a lot later than I thought it was!
Today's the day! Good luck everyone, may your watch be short!
The delay is sad but understandable. It must be a lot of work for everyone and I'd rather people pace themselves while delivering a good product versus crunching, I can wait a week That being said, it's exciting to see it'll have art not in the book! Do you have a ballpark of how much art it comes with?
Yeah. Wait for the “Find Your Path” post today, it’ll have the link to the module most likely
Thank you for taking the time to answer, Andrew, I didn't see! I'm very happy to hear that this is happening still! Both soundtracks produced are excellent, I make sure to use them in my games as much as I can even outside of those APs. I am looking forward to whatever shape this project takes, even with a smaller scope or skipping some APs now and then
I don't know if this is the right category for this post, but here goes: Back one year ago, Paizo announced a partnership with Michael Ghelfi to make original scores for the APs There was a mention that they'd be available here, which never happened. Though the Seven Dooms and Wardens OSTs did release on Michael's bandcamp. At the same time, Ghelfi posted a youtube video announcing the partnership that in the comments of said video he announced that as part of this, they were working on a Rise of the Runelords OST. Exciting stuff! But it's been a year, and while I actually haven't gotten a foundry module for APs after Wardens, the lack of OST releases tells me that Curtain Call and later doesn't have their own original music. Is anyone able to confirm? Question is: If yes, why isn't there releases of these? And if not, well...what happened? This was a pretty exciting project
These are, and I mean this with nothing but awe, SO cringe I love them so much RIGHT?! Best worst cards lol I love them
Finally, a map for the beach episode! Definitely getting this one for lighthearted fun
Man, Yivali really deserves to be promoted
My watch has ended as well! Hope the others don't have to wait as long
Yeah. No luck either. Doing the same
"Last day" and I haven't shipped yet. Here's hoping. Same position, in theory, guaranteed today, but it was mentioned that it could also fall off the shipping window. I hope we don't get THAT unlucky...
I'm feeling optimistic that multiclass is within reach. It ACTUALLY happened, and by a hair too. That's crazy! Literally, every +1 mattered! Good job everyone!
I understand there's a lot of reasons why Paizo might not want to do this, and ultimately, I am only critical because I think things could be greatly improved -- you already got the equivalent of a bunch of Michelangelos making the Sistine Chapel when it comes to making the actual content of the books, I'm just of the opinion that the way they are delivered could be improved, be PDF subscriptions, changing how the PDF is delivered to the subscribers, etc. but I ultimately do understand if it really can't Much like Driftbourne, I just can't keep justifying physical books. I'll keep supporting and getting every PDF (And I'm in agreement that this makes it easier to get books from game stores, I have hardly bought from them since starting my subscription)
Looking at the time, looks like I really got unlucky this time. On the bright side, it’s 50/50 at this point between the order shipping tomorrow and Friday, right?
There were MANY times where I walked into my "local" gaming store (The Compleat Strategist in nYC) and saw that they had a book on the shelves and I was STILL waiting for mine to show up in my mailbox.That sounds like your local game shop was breaking the street dates for merchandise they received. I’m assuming that Paizo has street dates for its books like any other publisher. That’s not really something to get upset with Paizo about. Not this person but I'd easily believe it. Shipping is preeeeeetty slow, on average I get the physical books 1-1.5 weeks (one time, it was 2) after the street date, so local shops would already have it. I don't personally mind it because books end up being just shelf decoration, but if I wanted the physical book, going to the local store is more cost effective since you get to save up on the shipping fees (In fact, given that it feels really wasteful to be subscribed just to get the PDF early, I'm likely to stop subscribing, and just buy every PDF, and then choice buy books from my local shops if I really like a particular book for any reason)
Congrats to those whose watch ended. I shall join as a secondary caster in the ritual as well!
Also, there is no "When physical subscribers get the PDFs". Some people have had the War of Immortals one for days, if not over a week now, and I have not received mine yet. It's dependent on when yours get shipped, which as far as I can tell is the street date of the book -2d12 days, per person. Looks like I rolled low this time. This is another thing that I personally really dislike and I don't believe it should be a thing -- I don't like the way the subscriptions are handled. Everyone should be charged at once in one specific day, and receive their PDF as part of that. Then, their orders will ship as they are able from the warehouse. I personally am not a fan at all of the "Am I seeing all the people online enjoy the product and discuss it while waiting who knows how long, or am I getting the product early?" game -- Hypothetically, if subscription early access worked this way, then people with a PDF subscription could get it at this moment too
Fingers crossed for tomorrow! Can only hope!
Can you please finally give us PDF only subscriptions (other than for Society Scenarios)? For your international customers, the shipping fees are just insane. Also: I don't need any physical books anymore! Depends how they do it. Subscription where they charge me to get the PDF when the book officially releases is basically nothing. I can click “purchase” myself Now, what I would personally like to see, is a PDF subscription where you pay extra (either percentage extra or a flat amount per book type), and you in exchange get the PDF in early access when the physical subscribers do. I would swap to that in a heartbeat because I really only subscribe for early access — I just don’t read the books often anymore. Most of the time I’ve already read the whole thing cover to cover by the time the book arrives at my house (and I play online nowadays)!
