Any Starfinder Tales on the horizon?

Unfortunately as a public sector worker here in the UK where a new Conservative government has just been elected I am getting poorer all the time. I'll have to cut at least one sub. Oh well, with a sense of perspective that is not what I call hardship.

I'm fairly new to Pathfinder so apologies if my comments have been made by others elsewhere. For me the biggest barrier to getting into the game was the Core Rulebook. The Beginner Box and the recent Strategy Guide are big steps forward but for future new entrants to the game I would still like to see more "friendly" ways in. Maybe a "Beginner Box 2" or perhaps "Module Lite" or an "Adventure Path Lite" (which would lead new GMs and players through with rules tips boxes a bit like Everflame). For me the future would also have the Core Rulebook accessible in alternative forms. E.g. Arcane Casters Rulebook. Melee Fighters Rulebook. My players won't buy a Core Rulebook. Once again apologies if this debate is irrelevant or has occurred elsewhere.

Also, how about a generic cleric, but with a variety of holy symbols that could attach to the outstretched hand?

At one point I opened yet another door. I saw three white dragons in a 10-foot square room. I said 'Paralyse, paralyse, paralyse!' and knocked three charges off my Staff of Power, my genie scooped all their treasure into his bottle and I closed the door, moved 5-feet to the next door and opened it.

I saw a room full of 100 hobgoblins. I didn't ask how big the room was. I closed the door, remarking that they probably didn't have any good treasure. I don't know if they ever noticed me; they certainly didn't pursue me. Perhaps the sight of a lone half-elven warrior with a pseudo-dragon familiar was too scary. : /

BTW, this was the same character (and same DM) that successfully solo'd the Tomb of Horrors and got the Hand of Vecna for his trouble.

And the kids these days think they know what gaming is.

Best memory playing as a ten year old GM with the D&D white box together with paper and pencil - no figures or grids:

"You are surprised by 35 Berserkers hiding in the corner of the 10' x 10' room you just entered."

Those were the days.
