I'm trying to submit more reviews, consistent with the encouragement to do so from Paizo Plus. Yesterday, I submitted 2 reviews (SFS2 1-07, followed by PFS2 Quest 25) Today I see the SFS review has posted but not the Quest review. Yesterday, I went through the process on both of confirming my e-mail. Is this a system issue with the Quest not posting because it was on the heels of the other one? Or is it because all reviews need to be approved by a person? Thanks!

Thanks Hilary for the congratulations! I appreciate you being such a positive force on the forums, both celebrating the people and being an Organized Play advocate for the GM's and players that enjoy the games! Feels like I "liked" a few of your posts in different spots today where you're proposing some sensible changes/adjustments.

I received an e-mail from Paizo last night (Tuesday evening) saying the Adventure PDF was updated to include the missing adventure file. However, when I try to download today, it's still not there (although all the seven other accessory files are there).

The download for Murder in Metal City seems to missing a key component. I have pdf's for GM Tracker, Item Cards, Maps, NPC Cards, Player Handouts, PreGens, Tokens, but no adventure! I'm so eager to get into some of this new Starfinder 2E goodness!

I just got my shipment notice and was excited to see Starfinder Player Core in my Digital Content list, but when I downloaded it, I got a placeholder image saying it would be available 7/31.

Apologies if this has already been covered elsewhere. Is there any Community Use art available for the Pathfinder 2E Iconics outside of that in the character sheets? We're looking for art to use for fliers and want to use more recent images. Thanks!

Solved! The SF2 Free Module needed to be updated to 6.5 for the Adventure Pack to run successfully.

Are the metaplot scenarios back-loaded in the season? In the 10 Season 6 scenarios announced thus far, I'm only seeing 2 metaplot scenarios of the 7 that we're expecting per the blog. Should some of the other first 10 be marked metaplot? I try to run the metaplot scenarios in order so knowing helps me plan how I schedule games. Thanks!

Have the rules for testing in Organized Play been published yet? I don't see it in the guide and I have interested players wanting to try these classes out. I'm especially interested in how we would test characters higher than level 1.

Like many of you, I've been paying close attention to the OGL mess with anger at WOTC and concern for all the people affected. I'm hoping as news unfolds, everything will be OK. It's all got me reflecting on how much I appreciate Paizo, its people, and all the wonderful books they've been giving us and continue to give us. I started this weekend playing in a super-fun Strength of Thousands campaign as a Skeleton Gunslinger and was able to enjoy both the deep story in the adventure and how mechanically cool it was to play my character. Yesterday, I spent a good amount of time preparing to GM a Starfinder Society module set in the Veskarium. There is so much fantastic reference material to support it both in the module itself, Near Space, and various Alien Archives. It feels so rich and interesting being able to dig deep into the lore. I'm preparing a Crown of the Kobold King run with a bunch of friends for later this month and am taking pleasure in seeing the characters they're creating. I'm full of anticipation at running them through this classic adventure AND GM'ing with Foundry for the first time. As I do dull tasks around the house, I get to listen to old Glass Cannon Podcasts and hear them play through Giantslayer, Dark Suns, Ruins of Azlant, Strange Aeons and all the laughs that go with it. My bookshelves are full of years of Paizo books, maps, and tokens and it's amazing how consistently great the quality, writing, art, and packaging are. It's thrilling just looking at it all. So thank you Paizo and thanks to the many creators past and present for giving me so much enjoyment in my life.

My Order 36822187 processed today with Book of the Dead and Punks in a Powderkeg. Books of the Dead is showing in my Digital Content list but Punks is not, despite refreshing/reloading/trying different devices. Thanks!

It all looks cool, but I need to understand better what this is giving me that I don't already get through Nethys and HeroLab Online. I've invested a lot in HeroLab already so it would be hard to rebuy a bunch of books.

I'm very happy to see this news. I love Paizo products and value the fantastic Paizo employees (and contractors) who provide so much happiness to the lives of my friends and me. I've been disturbed about both old and recent revelations. It all undermines the loyalty I've felt for the company for the past 14+ years, especially knowing the people behind these products I love are hurting. The Sara and Diego news was especially disappointing, knowing how clearly loved these two are by their coworkers and Paizo customers. While I know unions can create new business challenges, I'm happy that this route can help keep the people I support engaged and healthy. It may cost more to me as a customer, but these products are worth it. I hope management responds positively and collaboratively with the union to restore Paizo in my mind as the most awesome company out there. #unionizepaizo

I attended the GM 101 class last night and I highly recommend this. Our instructor was organized, demonstrated features well, and answered a TON of questions. I'm looking forward to other classes in the series.

Hi, I just received my shipment for Order 36271135, but the Pathfinder Flip-Tiles: Wilderness Starter Set was not included in the box despite it being listed as included in the box's shipping document and included as part of my charge. Please ship to me with my next shipment. Thanks!
I'm disappointed with the new approach to boons. I think it really got to me when I finished PFS2 2-00 and received a sheet with no boons or items. Completing specials used to feel like a big deal with very interesting chronicle sheets. I feel like there are lots of ways to do it right and have enjoyed boons that are just plot related and especially enjoyed Starfinder boons that unlock new playable races. This new approach is flavorless and off-putting.
We had a TPK on this one last night. The team had done a general knowledge check on oozes before heading down to the sewer, but that didn't pick up the piece of knowledge that a specific type of ooze (black pudding) splits under certain circumstances. In the encounter, the first PC split the pudding into three puddings and the creatures then devastated the team. With three actions, going toe to toe with these things can be catastrophic! I totally agree with John Brinkman's comments suggesting finding ways to feed more information. Except for the collective bummer of the TPK, the players seemed to enjoy the plot and new rules. Be prepared that this one has a decent risk of going long, especially with new players involved.

The communication on this has been terrible! It's frustrating that you have people anxious to try your new system and maybe pull in new players with what seems like a kick-off scenario. You've previously communicated it would be available at launch. You're advertising it in your e-mails. Yet people can't buy it and no one is sharing what the deal is or when it will be available. If there's a reason to hold back (such as an intention to make it a convention exclusive for a period of time) then please let people know.
For what it’s worth, one more vote for having an official full pdf available at all times. I don’t want to have to pdf multiple sections or rely on the fan community to create full versions. Full Pdfs are easy ways to show more casual players what’s going on without them having to click through a bunch of stuff. Why not keep the pdf but update more frequently than once a year?

I'm a VA that needs PFS 1-00 for an upcoming session. If you can't get the drop figured out timely, can you at least make it available for sale? It's still treated as unavailable.

Hi Thursty, can you clarify that the map you say is 1 square = 10 feet is really 1 square = 20 feet? It would seem that way based on the map with the smaller squares (16 small squares in each big square). I want to make sure I have the proportions right before I start making jumbo maps! Thank you.
I would love to see a Starfinder Society Pawn set. I've been using the existing pawns for the scenarios but stumble when I get to creatures created especially for Society play. If Paizo doesn't think it's economical to do it, I also really like GM Numbat's suggestion of including a page in the scenarios with pawns laid out for easy printing.

A friend just noticed that my copy of the Starfinder Armory, which I purchased through subscription, is missing pages 66-67, with pages 74-75 in their place. Pages 70-71 are also missing with 78-79 in their place. How can I get an updated print copy with the full set of pages? Thanks,
About ArcessentesBackground:
Do you believe in redemption? Is there a second chance for those who have committed evil? Arcessentes hopes so. He has much to atone for. When the witch hunters had come for the couple that had raised him he did not stand in their way. No, he did not speak out against their persecution and held silent, afraid to speak, while they burned at the steak. They were witches, no doubt. But he truly had no reason to believe they had done evil or treated with the demons. Still to speak for them, or the others who were also taken would have pointed a finger at him. Already, as an elf and an arcane caster he was at risk and in the foolishness of youth dared not speak for his foster parents. And the city had been betrayed. “Better to purge the city of all potential traitors and be safe. ” he had told himself, identifying other potential witches to the Iomedae zealots when questioned. That was some years ago. And still he felt the taint of his actions and lack of actions in his very soul. Raises by human foster parents in Kenabres, the elf was resentful that his birth parents would run off on a some fool’s errand and get themselves killed when he was an still an infant – a newborn only a month old. He had all the advantages of a high placed family and attended only the best private schools and universities. Exposed to the arcane at a young age he showed talents for spell casting and as a teen began his apprenticeship in Kenabres, There was always a demand for arcane casters to support the Crusades and he showed more talent than many accepted. No doubt his foster parents had loved him, but he rejected that love out of a misplaced anger towards his real parents. His foster parents had given him much that he should be grateful for and his real parents had only provided him with his elven ears, and a strange birthmark, in the shape of a bird’s wing, marring his otherwise handsome elven features and running from his left cheek down onto his neck. The Sign of the Seeker’s Spiral: Some secret society known as the Riftwardens. Despite his ability to research, and the many months spent in study in the libraries of the area, he had found nothing about this secret organization.
Personality:
Somewhat aloof, Arcessentes seems to think any problem can be solved with enough brain power. He does not mind hard work, as long as its mental work and shies away from physical labor. Organized and lawful to a tee he has a strong distaste for chaos and will work to thwart it in everything from the demons of the Wound to the organization of his backpack. He has never been very religious, knowing that the gods are powers to be reckoned with, but not quite agreeing that they need to be worshiped, and unwilling to subjugate his will to theirs for the chance they might dole out some small pittance of their power to him in feigned gratitude. Recently he has been bothered about his decision, some 20 years ago, to not defend his foster parents, and others in the city when they were accused of being witches. Unsure why that decision so long ago has suddenly begun to haunt him, he has been thinking about how to best repent from those actions. He has not quite come to terms that what he did was wrong, much less evil, but may do so soon, if the right circumstances come to play.
Motivations:
Arcessentes is LN and a citizen of Kenabres. He is motivated to support his city and to gain more knowledge and power as a wizard. Knowing well his strengths and weaknesses he has had no desire to risk his own life as an adventurer, until very recently. Strange thoughts come to him in is dreams and idle moments that perhaps he can make up for some actions of his past. Most of these thoughts are subconscious at the moment and are not yet manifested as the need for redemption. But he is having a harder and harder time justifying decisions that he would not have given a second though to earlier in his life. He is on the path to converting to good. This Path could be long though, and he may or may not arrive at its destination. Description:
Arcessentes is is tall and thin, even for an elf. His hair is blond to the point of being white, despite his young age of 40. Years of study in dimly lit rooms and avoidance of hard work under the sun has left its mark on the elf. His skin is pale; almost translucent. Still, his elven visage might be striking if it were not for the strange wing-like birth mark marring his face and neck. He certainly is memorable. He has allowed himself to have expensive taste in clothing from time to time and prefers to wear a combination of black and white. He carries a staff but belts on a long sword because he likes the way it looks at his side, and has forced himself to learn to use it so no one may accuse him of adorning himself with a useless trinket. Party Role:
As a wizard, Arcessentes roll will be to provide knowledge and arcane support to the party. His intellect and Breath of Experience will help see to that. By the time he achieves 2nd level he will be trained in all the knowledge skills but due to his feat may make checks untrained at +7 now. His quick reflexes and choice of familiar allow him to react quickly to a threat and potentially shape the battlefield to the party's benefit. (+8 to initiative). And despite not having Perception as a class skill he is +5 to that skill at first level. This should help the part find traps, find clues, and spot enemies. Outside of combat and the need for knowledge Arcessentes will support the party through crafting. He starts with the ability to craft alchemicals and a portable alchemist's lab with a skill of +10. He can also scribe scrolls and should soon have a good selection of backup spell to use should he need to do so. By 5th level (if not before) he will take Craft Wondrous Item or Craft Magic Arms and Armor, depending on the party's needs
