Pretending to be the Red Mantis is the sort of thing that earns a visit from the Red Mantis...

Literally the plot of the Red Mantis one-shot adventure :P

We did that in part 1 of a Seeker Arc at the end Society for first edition. It was a fun but deadly adventure.

I do believe my VC that did that adventure would volunteer to go back.

Given he can turn into a huge size dragon now, it would probably exponentially speed up the process of wrecking the island approaching the Red Mantis :D

Well, now I know what's upcoming that I need to play my mullet based skittermander car thief motoring enthuasiast in.

Welp, I'm excited by the return to Arniselle. Now, where's that choir of Morlamaws to sing me Under The Sea?

Oh, a Shan work! I'm sure that will be fun!

Does anyone else keep reading SFS1e 7-05's title like Don Maclean sings American Pie? Just me? Okay.

Looking forward to doing some Knighting to avenge Lastwall.

Also, those bunnies are still some of the scariest things my poor goblin Bard Gobbo has faced. Snacks that try to eat you back? CRUELTY TO HUNGRY GOBLINS.

Congrats to Lucas, and congrats on 5th Star 7 Glyph getters!

I hope all PaizoCon Europe goers have fun and the Spicy Flu won't infiltrate like it did for GenCon. And I hope Alex can enjoy cheese, chocolate and fondue versions of both.

The Gooclaw is pleased.

The Gelknights of the Order of the Gooclaw, you say?

Borrowing ancestry feats makes me happy. The best part of SF1's polymorph spells lives on!

Rolling Precog into Witchwarper looks great.

Any particular reason Zemir has a streetlamp now?

Some earlier comment on Zemir art with a huge sword said it was a physical anchor, but might/would change in the final release. I'm guessing that's his anchor, but I won't hazard a guess as to why that in particular is his anchor.

Speaking from the Org Play perspective... having a pregen with a weapon that they can't innately use in their class is _tricky_. Zemir's sword was always a huge drawback from the overall feel of the class and we wanted to evolve that in this new version!

Is that a Lantern Staff? If so, my PFS1e Oracle of Whimsy Approves. XD

Congrats Mike! And Cordell and Angie!

Aucturn is such a lovely place to visit. So different. So refreshing. I'll start packing my nullspace carpet bag immediately.

Yay Ivis!

Honestly, it's an international organisation, there's HQ, and then there's regions.

Not only that, but they have their own training facility (The Masters of Spell, Sword and Scroll are basically Deans and Subject Head Teachers of a private university essentially).

I think if anything, a clear organisation chart would be nice, especially when it comes to the regions. It'd be nice to know who's operating where (especially for PF Infinite content makers).

ABSOLUTELY. Because it is a fact universally acknowledged that swimming in duck ponds is a thing every Regency aristocrat must do. (I am so amused at how many movies since the first Colin Firth Pride and Prejudice have featured a wet-shirt scene for the comely gentlemen. Bridgerton has done it once a season so far.)

I am all for more PF related "comely gentleman in a wet shirt". Last one I saw was Count Arendae of Mendev (after my [Wrath of the Righteous CRPG] Knight Commander "introduced" him to his desired poetic outcome of "love interest bathes under waterfall"; by shoving him in). That is entirely not enough!

Charity dinner benefitting a Crusade/concerted holy effort to do something war related? Hrrrrm, feels very season 4 of PFS1E

But that's okay, season 5 was a blast.

Thank you thank you thank you for Paizocon specials being at 10am Pacific time! I could not sign up for these in previous years when they were at 7am to accommodate east coast US players! Though still virtual, it's one of the only major west coast cons to get access to these and this year being the last season of Starfinder 1st edition is extra special.

*cries in international* Aus eastern time makes it 3am. Never let anyone say I'm not dedicated. T.T

Oh, I'm looking forward to the developments in and around Aucturn...

Me too, I'm super excited.

The cat tax has been paid! Praise the void-floof!

Also, thank you to the hardworking editors.

Oh wow, I should revamp my 1e Chelish Diva Bard. Very excite.

Speaking as the volunteer head of the Academy program for kids and families at Gen Con, I can't say how happy I am to see this content. Having read the first of these ("The Winter Queen's Dollhouse"), I can't help but be excited about having these all ages adventures.

I should add that we will be looking for volunteer GM's for the Academy program. If you enjoy GMing and teaching kids, teens, and sometimes moms and dads, HAVE I GOT A JOB FOR YOU! Please watch out for volunteer submission information for Gen Con in the near future. In the meantime, please feel free to reach out to me if you have questions about the Academy program at Gen Con.

Is that coming to GenCon Online by any chance? *puppy dog eyes*

If math is the barrier, dice rollers might help.

I always bring a (dollar store type with big buttons) calculator to IRL tables, cause I'm bad at math.

It can be really useful for kidlets who want to join but also may not be great at math (or adults who may wanna try but are also bad at math). It's a great accessibility tool to have lurking in a IRL GM kit, even if we generally all have phones with inbuilt calculators.

Gingerbread Goblets! That's such a cute and cool touch to a holidays card.

My mother and I were just discussing our traditional Xmas Pavlova toppings. This year, we're thinking banana, mango and blueberries.

Oooo, love that "you can hit a willing ally without an attack roll". All those biohackers can more freely distribute those performance enhancing concoctions now!

Also, yes, Starsinger! Want! Need! I wish it wasn't boon only though T.T No Melophile, no Starsinger, make me a little sad.

I love that punk Kasatha art! Thanks Paulo Magalhães.

Looking forward to looking at the new stuff; thanks for contributions, writers! Now to give my sugar'd up Kiirinta Soldier new grenades to play with, make friends with the new critters and take a peep at the archetypes for ideas.

Oh, okay, Undead Shark Swashbucklers (or maybe Bards) are now a really cool thing I didn't know I needed in my life either.

Gonna need some really big, very feather-y hats on them though. As we all know; the bigger the hat, the more powerful they are.

*hearing refrain of Escape (The Pina Colada Song)* Who let the bards out?

Congrats Heather! *fires the party cannons*

I love that both Kreighton Shaine's and Urwal's first response to being given flowers is to eat them.

I hope at least they were something tasty, like violets or roses.

When did Nova become a faction?

It's my top-secret faction of high-level Starfinders!

The Faction head is clearly a Novian. It's why it's a secret, high level Starfinders only club. ;)

The Org has a proper name and everything now. I can't help but think of them all like... goth shuffling along to a cover of Age of Aquarius, because of the name.

Terrifying Torah Accurate Angels, got it. Thanks Avi :D

Thanks everyone for your contributions, and have a great time with the upcoming important season.

May I nominate Captain Concierge as the official Paizo affiliated Convention volunteer mascot (especially for the HQ people)?

Also on my NEED list. *heart eyes*

Oh wow, love the Exemplar. Well, now to continue the trend of my Lantern King worshippers with the Cunning type :D

All I can say is I keep using one of my tarot decks for my PFS2e Ustalavic Varisian Eldritch Trickster Rogue, and the cards always know.

May Desna continue to guide the cards to good results.

My runs, I've had a lot of "oh no, please, I do science as a job IRL, I don't want it [implied getting it not completely functional within mechanics] in my fun down time" OOC. I know that can be a problem for a lot of players who work science jobs (the face palming I've heard from one friend whenever radiation comes up makes me a little sad for them).

I have a lot of people who are excited by the possibility of magic, or megastructures, and the potential crossover that can provide. A lot of potential archaelogy either way. These are more my personal vote bias leaning. My RL profession has me rubbing my player hands together and going "Seeing new sites in the galaxy, preferably big things? Yes yes, good, good."

But yeah, Aurora has some backing too. I wouldn't say she's, from my understanding, exclusively social media. More... she's gonna go on a marketing blitz (social media is merely a part of marketing). She said she wants video games of Starfinders, and plenty more. Marketing could indeed be in person, but, that could also potentially be more like SFS 5-15 Beta Test, but for lower levels.

Ever notice there's a "why are so many scary things hauling themselves out of the various oceans?" plot thread ongoing in Starfinder. I just hope it's not Ragadahn next.

Also, fey investigating children's joy sounds so adorable and prime for mischief. Can't wait to play that one. If only my Fey witch was not level 8, alas.

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*

Congrats Joe and Jeff!

So excited for GenCon Online! And to find out about Ulumbia! I've got guesses as to the plot, and I hope I'm wrong! XD

Espraska! Please! Bird people for Society play!

Also Ganzi! I miss my Maelstrom touched options.

Akiton just has pirates, not Dust Orcas as well, right? Right?

Ooooh, do I spy a ship trying to sail? *takes notes* Well, as a long time romance fan, I've got my eyes glued to the no doubt future incoming developments.

I'm sure Jon is mentally scheming a way to add a few more arms and fuzz onto Koroks and make Skorokmanders.

Team Large Sized Seeker

Vote Dr. Heldin Sevaile.

Have a research and exploration society actually research something!!!

As endorsed by Dr B of Dr B's Science Jubilee

The art is spectacular! Thanks Nicholas Phillips!

This is gonna be so hard, these are all really good mandates.

Alex demanded a meme thread, so I've made one over here with a bit of propaganda already. Have a proper gander at it ;)

Alex said meme thread okay, so, I'm gonna open with a piece for Aurora Everbright: Radaszam's reaction to her announcement

I am always excited to see my fave SF Iconic, Bug Dad, in anything.

Like Driftbourne, I've never been one for comics, so well, I have an easy in now. Trying to get into comics can be very hard and confusing, but this, I think can manage.

Interested to see Ciravel's freedom dichotomy issues play out too.

Thanks James < 3

That's what happens when when you touch things at the museum when the sign says not to, you get unexpected guests. So, to be sure and avoid unexpected guests, we should not touch things in the museum, okay? ;)

All this awesome art! Especially Mahja Firehair!

Ohohoh, is someone unleashing Adam on all the potential for Tian Xia horror? Pwetty pwease? Haunting at Hinojai was a great PFS1e scenario, and I would love to see more.

Also, thanks for tip off Dana. I'm not on the right continent, but I've got friends in the area who are interested. Thanks for being awesome.

Ohohoh, a Queerfinder writer? Thanks for a great fun addition to the game Grady!

Thanks John!

(Also, Tanukis when? I love them so much. A Caydenite swashbuckling tanuki would be a fantastic)

But these are options that are already there. Those races were introduced via the race deck, so they exist in Starfinder already. Likewise, some of the most classic Starfinder races like Lashunta and Triaxian and Ysoki existed in Pathfinder first. And there has been a vocal group of Pathfinder players on the forums who keep hoping they'll get Lashunta or Kasathans in Pathfinder 2e.

Since we've had one major time travel event across the systems, it makes even more sense that some of these ancestries will available in the future (or the past!)

Besides, it doesn't break the game to have options that players can use their ACP to build.

Hmm

I gotta agree. I love playing my "Elf with a hair problem" Triaxian Paladin PFS1e. There's a bunch of AP connections to "alien" people, so they're not new. Just unusual.

If people don't enjoy 2e, I'm kind of of the opinion, you can stick those species in home games. Home games, you're only bounded by GM opinion, and honestly, I don't think most home GMs are gonna bat an eye at a grippli when Jububnan (basically 1 legged hopping toads) exist.

But ACP as a across the two systems pool would be nice, cause I'm the opposite direction... *eyes army of Sprite character ideas, and too many fun PFS2e options and many SFS points*

Any old excuse to break out Nature Documentary Voice

Or should GMs go for Pocket Monster Professor Voice?

Too many choices!

"they were off in the other chapters of the story,". Grandmother breaking the fourth wall there.

"When you get to my age you realize that walls are suggestions at best."

I feel that Grandmother and Sir Terry Pratchett would have got along famously.

"Starfinder has a city inside a sun. What might be hiding in a black hole?"

The remnants of a dead god?

Is that where they stuffed Aroden? Worst game of Hide and Seek EVER.

Golden Pyramid Thingy? Oooh, is that Kadrical related? Or Kadrical himself?

So excited to meet the new candidates at GenCon!!

One of the things I remember from the last go around electing a First Seeker was a sort of 'tension,' between voting for what your character(s) want, and what you as a Player want. Like, while none of my Society heroes particularly agreed with Tara Nova's "let's make those jinsuls rue the day they picked a fight with the Starfinders!" agenda, I thought, as a player, that the a tale of teetering on the brink of revenge could've been a fun Season! There's also a number of Society players who have multiple PCs, who may have different thoughts, and different preferences based on the characters.

Anyways - is it possible for each person to have two (or even three?) votes? And they can decide how to divvy them up themselves? You could spread your votes around based on what you as a player want vs what you as character(s) want, or go all in on one thing you feel strongly about, or assign one vote per PC, or whatever else!

I wouldn't say 1 vote per character, because that wouldn't be fair to the new players or players with fewer characters.

Preferential voting is a good way to solve it. I feel much like "it's what my character would do" situations, you're the one figuratively steering the boat. I voted last time on what I thought would be fun Society plot direction. Didn't get it.

With preferential voting, I can weight my continued fun vs who my 1-4 characters like their ideas the best. As my 1-4s are currently a fey space pirate, a hellish Talent Resources Manager, a delusion mystic and a Skittermander who's backpack is a cooler full of mostly beer, I don't think their opinions are neccessarily the most... well thought out or cooperative.

Meh. ARPG seems like a terrible fit... was hoping for a proper CRPG using 2E rules. Owlcat, come baaaaack :)

Owlcats likes to drop hints for future games, considering they dropped major hints for

Games might comes out a bit slower, but they'll likely be growing their team.

As long as their meme game stays strong, it'll be survivable.

I gotta say, very excited to try a Paizo co-op game that no one other than a dev team has to prep for.

Diablo 1 was my first ever computer game too, so I do rather fancy the look of it. I'm not a massive ARPG fan, but I'll give it a go before I have an opinion on that part. If it's Very User Friendly like Diablo 1 and 2 was, I may have a new regular game to play.
