Can we get official word about whether or not there are plans for a Foundry VTT premium module for the new beginner box?

Any updates on whether or not Tales of the Vast will get FoundryVTT module?

I remember the question was asked in the last Paizo Live, but the answer could not be confirmed at the time as the person who could do so was on vacation (hope they had a good time off).

I did, thank you!

At this time, we are not planning a Tales from the Vast Foundry module. Since we got off to a slightly late start with Starfinder 2nd Edition, we've already released 3 Starfinder modules this year, those being Murder in Metal City, Guilt of the Grave World, and the inaugural season of 2nd Edition Starfinder Society. We do plan on releasing a module for Secrets of the Swarm when it comes out this fall, but for the time being we figured it made sense to let the existing releases breathe for a few months before releasing any new Starfinder adventure content.

That being said, just because we're not planning on a Tales from the Vast Foundry module now doesn't mean we'd never consider one in the future if we saw sufficient interest!

Hi. I want to take this opportunity to share interest, in the form of letting you know there's not only interest but a potential loss of revenue from lack of this support.

I'm a longtime subscriber of most of the PF2E lines, and play exclusively on Foundry VTT. Up to this point I've assumed Starfinder 2E would be supported the same way Pathfinder is, so I'm subscribed to Starfinder rulebooks, I bought Murder in Metal City Foundry VTT module and am playing it with my group right now.

We like playing longer adventures, and Tales from the Vast would almost definitely have been the thing we played alongside or after Guilt of the Graveworld.

But if there's not going to be a module for Tales from the Vast, that would suggest to me supporting Foundry VTT play for Starfinder is not enough of a priority for me to make playing Starfinder part of my plans.

This news will likely cause me to cancel my Starfinder rulebook subscription, not buy Guilt of the Graveworld, not buy Tales, etc.

I don't at all mean any of this to be negative or overly critical or any of that. I just want to stress that this decision would send a signal to me that I can't expect Starfinder to be supported in a way that makes it worth it for me to spend money on it and bring it to the table.

Thanks for reading.

Question about the Creature Ability Sneak Attack. It reads:

When the monster Strikes a creature that has the flat-footed condition with an agile or finesse melee weapon, an agile or finesse unarmed attack, or a ranged weapon attack, it also deals the listed precision damage. For a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, that weapon must also be an agile or finesse weapon.

I was having a discussion where the other side said they think that when creatures have the sneak attack ability and it says "They deal XdY precision damage to flat-footed creatures" that the flat-footed extra text is a specific override to the creature ability, and thus their sneak attack works on any strike, not only those with finesse/agile/ranged.

Is there any clarification about this?
