Just out of curiosity, does anybody know if there has been any Starfinder bundles like this one? Not necessarily with a complete adventure path (assuming that's what it is called in that game-verse), but at least including that game's equivalent to Pathfinder's Player Core and GM Core?

I've only recently returned to Paper and Pencil gaming so I'm a bit out of the loop on what's current and what comments will get people asking if I'm somebody's great great grandparent, I'm that out of date.

I've gotten to the point where I expect a new HumbleBundle by Paizo every three or four months, whether that's Pathfinder2E, Starfinder, or Pathfinder 1. And I've bought pretty much all of them over the last three or four years. (And yes, it is still called an Adventure Path in Starfinder). But there is the updated Starfinder 2E coming out later this year, which is not compatible with Starfinder 1 (although is compatible with Pathfinder 2E) so if we don't get a "last hurrah for Starfinder 1 Bundle" in the next few months, it might be a while before we see a Starfinder bundle, as they usually wait at least a year after a book has been released before they include it in a bundle. (That's not saying it will definitely be in a bundle after a year, just means not before then.) That's my own guestimate based on what I've seen in the past, however, I'm not in the know or anything.

I already have the GM core and Player core. Is there a way for me to join this bundle but instead of receiving the two books I already have, receive the Monster core?

Unfortunately, the Bundles don't work that way. I probably bought the Pathfinder 2 Core Rulebook about eight times through various bundles, but I only get credit for owning it once. I can't even split just that book out to give to someone else.

I'll be honest, I'm a little surprised that the Pathfinder 1 Core Rulebook wasn't included in the bundle, considering it has not only Kingmaker but a few other adventures for Pathfinder 1. Maybe they'd be worried people would get confused?

To be fair, I do have the Pathfinder 1 Core Rulebook thanks to a previous PF1 HumbleBundle (I've not played it, but I have it), but I'm still surprised it isn't in this bundle.

One thing that absolutely, positively needs to be added to the equipment list for Starfinder 2E is a towel. I mean, sure towels are primarily for hitchhikers rather than adventurers, but what's an adventurer if not a hitchhiker with a purpose? How a towel has not been added in pretty much any TTRPG I've seen so far is beyond me.

A towel, [The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy] says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
