But what about the players who retrieved the deed to the citadel in Hellknight Hill?

I really wish that SF adventures would get parity with PF. You would think with having a new edition of SF it would get the love it deserves instead of being just the step-sibling project.

Still super disappointed that Starfinder APs are not valid content for society play.

Here I was hoping that they would reverse course and announce that Starfinder APs would in fact be sanctioned for OP like Pathfinder has and continues to get sanctioned APs.

I am disappointed.

Pocket Edition APs by chance?

100% okay with a generic AP sanctioning document if it allows us to report them for credit.

I mostly think it's confusing. Murder on Metal City at the end suggests you continue your campaign after by doing SFS, but also if you swap to running SFS scenarios, none of the XP the characters get transfers at all, unless the advice is supposed to be to run society without running society, which I think it's a bit odd

More than confusing. You get character options in the adventure Murder on Metal City, but no credit for running or playing in it. Taking out adventures for credit is a serious issue because that is a massive change to how organized play has been run for the past, I dunno, 15 years?

I think we really need to hear from the higher-ups at SFS because this sounds pretty bad. If this is the case, I don't really see myself participating in SFS anymore, which is a damned shame.

I guess my Outlaws of Alkenstar will be my last AP in campaign mode.

This is a huge change about not having campaign mode credit for AP completion, about 90% of my participation in SFS and PFS was campaign mode playing the APs and having super sweet and stacked level 13 characters.

Notification sent today.

Still considering whether or not it is worth it to subscribe to Paizo or support them.

Yeah it is totally worth it because just at face value, subscriptions give you a free PDF in addition to the physical book. Sometimes your order gets generated towards the 1st part of the month, sometimes during the end of the month. I am just sad that I will have to wait to get my physical because I prefer the Pocket Editions, so they will get PDF money from me as well as physical.

As much as I love that getting new options for VTTs is great, buying into an ecosystem can get expensive. Having bought into Fantasy Grounds and Foundry, it would take something SERIOUS to move me to a new platform when I have so much money tied up in TWO VTTs.

Is there a place where the season meta plot is summarized each season?

No factions is an interesting choice; I wonder why that was made? Maybe to not have to manage a faction rep subsystem.

Not a bad idea; but it will be a break from what Paizo has been doing since the beginning.

Will all the playtest content be approved for Society play?

Looking forward to 2E Society.

I always hated all the twenty different Second Seekers factions. I mean, every one beyond the Luwazi were just pretenders =P

For real though, glad to see that go away, it was just my least favorite part.

I REALLY hope that my SF1e AcP will carry over because I have been hording my 358 points for a while now.

Cannot wait for the pocket edition.

Can't wait to see how this works with Starfinder 2E.

Bravo Paizo. Thanks for doing the right thing for the community.

A lot of stuff sold on PFI is already available in FoundryVTT too. PFI doesn't lock you to Roll20.

Pretty sure that section 4 of this post suggests otherwise.

Folks, talking to lawyers about revising language takes time.

Lawyers just want billable hours =P

It really is a pain in the butt, because you can assume that much of the setting is restricted material: vesk, Barathu, Basatha, Lashunta, Pahtra, Shirren, Skittermander, Ysoki, Borai, and Prismeni. All from the playtest book, only two of them have "open" names: Android and Human.

It goes WAY beyond having to call the Drift "hyperspace" or any other generic term.

Nobody seems to really know what words are allowed and what aren't. The ORC license itself doesn't answer that question.

The various examples of projects that have gone down the renaming route - the SRD listed above, Pathbuilder - just serve to show how treacherous this path is, given that they have obvious errors.

So unless you're willing to simply trust that Paizo don't care, it's not an option; and I'm afraid my reserves of blind trust are a lot lower since the OGL crisis.

Your Patreon post made me aware of this and I find the idea that I might not get Starfinder 2.0 Dyslexic Sheets absolutely frustrating.

This is very bad. It leaves many products that I use regularly in limbo and makes the game much more difficult to play/use/enjoy.

Just a planet-sized Cthulhu plush

I will allow it.

Much like the PF2e had a playtest book that went out to people that purchased it, will the same be a thing for the Starfinder 2e playtest?

I only ask because the softcover playtest book looks totally awesome on my shelf and is a good bookmark into the history.

I really hope that the starship combat does not suck. As it is now, it is a challenge unless you do it like all the time and everyone in your group loves it and also practices it.

If I have to do a PF2e game I will obviously want to play a Stellifera or Dragonkin.

One hopes that this will be one of the APs that get translated over to SF 2e like Kingmaker was ported to 2e =)

Luwazi Elsebo forever!

Oh! With Arazni's imminent promotion, we now have an Arcadian in the Core 20 <3

Yeah I saw that and immediately was more excited because Arcadia rocks.

Please don't make the operative suck. It is my go to character and I love my Dragonkin operative.

Maybe ship combat will get a makeover!

So why is Starfinder Enhanced a thing? The timing seems really off.

I do like how you don't have to dedicate a page or two to reference the ORC like the OGL you have to. It is like a little box you have to have to indicate that it uses the ORC.

Anything yet? Still no Discord invite.

So is there any news? I signed up to receive updates but I have not gotten a single one. I have heard about the discord, but have not seen an invite or anything.

Looks like meat is back on the menu boys!

I live in a place where unions and strikes are so everyday that the idea of being anti-union admittedly boggles my mind. Wages here are higher across the board, and our workforce is so much better protected, given the horror stories I hear from US friends.

Maybe the US is just... doing unions wrong? I don't know. Either way, I can't help but feel that unions are a Good Thing all around, and always at least a step in the right direction.

It is just that there are 50 different states doing 50 different things regarding unions. I work in a right to work state, so the teacher unions TECHNICALLY have little power but in practice have much more power (imagine if we went on strike, where would all the children get their education? It is a powerful form of leverage). It really depends on where you live.

Working in a Union was one of the worst working experiences in my life, so I hope if this goes well, good luck.

I think unions largely depend on where you work. Being a teacher in a teacher union, I have greatly enjoyed the collective bargaining.

I am not trying to shove a peg into anything. I am trying to work out why anyone would want to "get rich" as a free trader in this game (basically the premise of the whole AP) when this is not really possible with the current system limitations.

Maybe a Starfinder Unchained would address this like ABP did for Pathfinder 1E.

I have told myself that I will only buy pocket editions of books besides my AP subscription. They are just so cute!

Just so y'all know, the map on the dam has no doors, but they seem to be offset to the right like they did a Photoshop pasting error.

I have an idea of a kobold and space goblin colony for this AP...

And not a moment too soon now that kobolds are PLAYABLE!

[Mr. Burns] Excellent.... [/Mr. Burns]

Wait, so no kobolds because they are in the alien card deck? They reprint stuff in multiple products all the time, and I don't want to have to buy the deck of cards just to get a couple races. I thought the cards were just for brevity sake.

The packaging is torn to hell and the book went with it.

Picture 1
Picture 2

I don't want a replacement, just a credit.

Will we receive an email when it is updated? Because I posted in this very forum a couple months ago about that just not happening for me and no reply from support. For months.

Okay, seeing this guy I want to play a kobold now.
