Good day all. From my searchings I don't think there will be a positive answer for this. I am a TTRPGer with decades of play but always homebrew. When I found out about starfinder last year, I loved the setting and concept that I finally decided to join up with official starfinder society. I do a fairbit of GMing now and picked up the books in part for running a campaign. However I was informed that absolutely no additional races have been allows.
Confirming with additional resources, it doesnt say anything race wise in the books are permitted for the pact worlds or alien archives 1&2.
I looked into boons, it appears the only one was a boon that ended last summer with the six games for one species, 12 for choice of others. Outside of that, it sounds like only rare official convention awards?
That seems pretty harsh unless I am missing something if only for the inaccessability of what conventions I know of, effectively knocking me out of ever being able to use these in play since society is my only as player and not GM starfinder.
Suggestion? I wonder why isnt a promo boon so owners/buyers of the book get a least one time boon to make use of, at minimum from a list, one of the species from said book? As it is those books seem to have a limited if any value for society play. Ideally, that boon could be only applied to one character at any time of playable races, so would need to retire or expire to make a new from that book. Just to prevent having it burned from a bad situation?
