![]() Hi, I'm Owen K.C. Stephens, co-creator of Starfinder and the original Starfinder Design Lead for Paizo. I have a number of Infinite Masters products for Starfinder currently available in Paizo's Starfinder Infinite community content program. The content in all of these was either developed or written by me. Galactic Magic: The Feats Chapter
Well, okay, not really. But as the original Design Lead for Starfinder, this is the chapter of feats I *would* have put into Galactic Magic if I'd been tasked with creating such a thing. Along with two amazing freelance writers, I've created a slew of feats to expand options for spellcasters of any class, as some extra love for the new classes that have only recently entered the game. So if you want spellcasters in your games to have more feats that feel designed just for them, this is the chapter you need to add next to your copy of Galactic Magic! DANGER DOSSIER
Alghollthu. Black puddings. Primal dragons. Intellect devourers. Raveners. Shoggoth. They may have all been threats on the world of Golarion, but that doesn't mean you won't encounter them on hundreds of other worlds. And even with a laser rifle handy, these creatures put you in real danger. Danger Dossier updates 32 classic Pathfinder monsters to Starfinder, with more than 50 stat blocks, templates to create more creatures, and full-color illustrations of everything from alghollthu interlocutors to zomoks. ![]()

![]() Well it's been a long time coming, but Rogue Genius Games is still working on making a Talented version of every PF1 Core Rulebook class. We just released the Talented Paladin! ![]()
![]() I'm working on totally unofficial, homebrewed Vesk gods at my blog (OwenKCStephens.com) Here are the first two: Bhel, Flame Tongue Alignment: N
Bhel is a snake-headed vesk with flaming eyes and a long, flaming tongue. She was originally the deity of a race of serpentfolk that opposed the vesk, but betrayed the serpentfolk deities to become a vesk goddess when it became clear the vesk would crush the serpentfolk. She is considered a keeper of secrets, and while Ollothatyra is the writer of the scroll of every mortal’s life, Bhel burns the end of those scrolls to bring about every mortal’s death. Worshipers of Bhel consider themselves to be students, rather than ethical faithful of her religion, and seek to learn hidden knowledge that she holds control over by following her dictates as rules of her metaphyscial school. While this is considered a reasonable deal in vesk society–obeying a powerful lady because she can reward you–worshipers of Bhel are often viewed with suspicion, given that betrayal is part of her portfolio. Grumzati, the War Blood. Alignment: CG
Depicted as a dark blue vesk with prehensile, double-long tail, Grumzati lives in a sea of burning blood found where the Abyss overlaps with the Plane of Water. While the Vesk god of War is the deity of battle, glory in combat, and victory, Grumzati is the god of conflict as a means to an end. Grumzati was a mortal vesk that fought to destroy a cult of slaver demons, and changed his form to adapt to water environment as a way to defeat the most powerful of those demons. As a result he is also seen as a god of change, evolution, and specialized tactics. Worshipers of Grumzati believe as strict rule systems will, in time, become imbalanced and turn into tyrannies. They exist to prevent those tyrannies from damaging the rights of individual vesk. While the Vesk imperium might normally try to suppress the worship pf such a deity, as a conflict god Grumzati is too well-respected by other militant vesk gods for any direct action to ever be taken against his followers. ![]()

![]() I do "#Starfound" on Facebook and Twitter, and realized I should share them here as well. Often called "Lashunta Opera", the telepathic performances of Ashavello are more than that. Actors perform as historic figures, which serve as context for the Asha'Vetti, who project the actual emotions those figures experienced, passed through generations of empaths.

![]() Starfarer's Codex: Horrifically Overpowered Feats is a product we thought we wouldn't have to do.
And, now it's part of our very first KlickStarter! So, you may ask, what the heck is a KlickStarter?
For those you can boost here at Paizo,the important one is the “EVEN MORE FEATS” STRETCH GOALS What, 18 pages of Horrifically Overpowered Feats not enough for you? You REALLY want to ignore our warning not to use this product in any way, don’t you?!

![]() So, RGG continues to work on expanding the Blood Space campaign setting. We first referenced it in the adventure Blood Space and Moon Dust, and have used it for context in a number of Everyman Gaming's Star Log[/b] products and our RGG class and spell books for Starfinder. But I've also begun to explore some of the edges of the Blood Space campaign, with elements that aren't core to the setting. These can easily be dropped into any campaign, by their very nature, and I'm working to make them work indpendently, together, or as part of all of Blood Space. The first was the Deluxe Driders book, which provides an alternate drider origin in the form of the FiendWeb of Akkanar, and has a huge range of drider stat blocks at different CRs. I followed that up with the Slaugh, ancient sorcerous shapeshifting aliens who once ruled a vast empire. On my blog, I've also done some things with the cosmic peacekeeping force of the LawStar Justicar, and the Xorarcan warrior-race. So, while the main campaign setting continues to be worked on I wonder... is this fringe material interesting to more people? Should I keep expanding it? If so, which element do people find the most interesting? ![]()
![]() It's very early days yet, but I've been working on a "weird west" setting hack for Starfinder, called the Really Wild West, over at my blog. All the relevant articles can be found linked from this regularly-updated Index Page. ![]()
![]() So, beginning August 1st, Purple Duck products will no longer be for sale on Paizo.com. Purple Duck is fine, and their products will continue to be for sale elsewhere. And all the pdfs you buy here will remain in your libraries.
50% off ALL Purple Duck Pathfinder-Compatible Products on Paizo.com 50% off ALL the OGL Porphyra pdfs. 50% off ALL other Purple Duck pdfs on Paizo.com! And we're trying to pull together an absolutely all-inclusive, every--single-pdf bundle. But just until the end of the month. And then you can never but any of it on this site. Ever again. ![]()

![]() MicroSettings are experimental campaigns designed to be played with the Pathfinder RPG (and sometimes additional resources). Currently they're all just free content available on my blog (https://owenkcstephens.com/), but each has the potential for becoming a larger product (likely published by Rogue Genius Games) someday. WarQuest World is a microsetting where where players of a MMORPG get sucked into the online game-world, and must learn to survive and thrive there. You can find various articles describing it by clicking on the #WarQuestWorld tag at the end of each related article (or clicking here) WarQuest World has some new rules elements for the Pathfinder RPG, including Character Roles (MMORPG-style roles each character can fill, and in this case unconnected from your class), and different rules for crafting, encumbrance, cooldowns, and even aggro... since the PCs are stuck in a MMORPG come to life, it's rules still apply to their new reality. ![]()
![]() The Genius Guide to More Cleric Talents
![]()
![]() To the best of my knowledge, this DriveThruRPG/RPGNow bundle is literally every pdf I was the primary author for that Rogue Genius Games sells. $600 dollars worth of pdfs. More than 1700 pages of actual content. Lest than $30. It gets deactivated (presumably forever) sometime tomorrow, Saturday the 9th. Get it here ![]()
![]() The Four Horsemen and Rogue Genius are proud to present the Talented Bestiary Kickstarter! Simplified creature creation and 200 plus new monsters! The Four Horsemen and Rogue Genius Games are proud to present the Talented Bestiary! After years of hard work, we’ve created a supplementary system for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game that allows anyone to quickly and easily create balanced monsters from the ground up! While rigorously play-testing the system, we’ve produced hundreds of new monsters inspired by all the Bestiary classics and are excited to share both the system and our creations with our fans! The book and 230 monsters are already written and nearly ready to publish, but we want to see this project given the finishing touches it deserves. That means paying for beautiful original artwork, careful editing, and expanded content galore. We can’t do that without your help! If you'd like some idea what this book'll be like when it's done, we have a Preview, with the basics of the system and six useable monsters! And it's Pay-What-You-Want! (Even if what you want is $0!) ![]()
![]() It's been a long time since we had regular releases in the Talented Hero line of pdfs. For those of you not familiar with these, each one takes a single class (through last year we had released pdfs covering the barbarian, cavalier, fighter, monk, ranger, and rogue) and redesigns it to have nearly all it's class features be broken into talents (like rogue talents) and edges (rarer selections of more powerful options). Each class also has a follow-up book of "More XX Talents", giving even more possibilities. You can check out all the pdfs here! We have a LOT of 5-star reviews on these. We then has a long drought, where we couldn't get any of these books out.
Next month we plan to release the Talented Bard and More Bard Talents. In May we plan for the Talented Cleric and More Cleric Talents. In June we hope to release the Talented Druid, and More Druid Talents! And after that my crystal ball gets hazy. :) ![]()
![]() Hybrid classes are a fun way to expand the number of options available to players and GMs alike, without trying to build a class entirely from scratch. Each hybrid class combines concepts and some rules of two existing classes along with brand-new ideas and mechanics to create something familiar to but distinct from its parent classes. The Four Horsemen have given us four brand-new hybrid classes! Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Blasphemer
Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Fury (PFRPG
Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Renegade
Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Shifu
What else would you like to see the Four Horsemen mash together and hybridize? ![]()
![]() Whenever new classes get added to the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, one question that quickly gets raised is "will this be supported?" It takes time for a new class to have anywhere near as many options as things from the core rulebook and APG, or course. In the case of the material from the Advanced Class Guide, Rogue Genius Games has been releasing books to help expand what kinds of things you can do with hybrid classes. Advanced Options: Arcanist Exploits
Advanced Options: Slayer Talents & Lethalities
Advanced Options: Warpriest Blessings
And of course if you want a different way of blending two classes other than using hybrid classes, you can check out the popular and massive Genius Guide to Variant Multiclassing Rules, which allows a character to sacrifice feats for a progression of class features taken from another class, covering all the base and core classes, as well as numerous prestige classes. Want more support for hybrid classes? What would you like to see Rogue Genius tackle next? ![]()
![]() The Four Horsemen have created a series of PDFs all tying in to constructs, and augmenting the awesome (and massive, 5-star rated) Construct Companion Four Horsemen Present: Abstraction Golems Expanded
Four Horsemen Present: Pakuvresh, the Flesh Golem Factory
Four Horsemen Present: Animated Traps Expanded
Four Horsemen Present—Base Class: Engineer
And, of course, you should also pick up the Four Horsemen's pdfs supporting the mythic rules! What other content would you like to see from this collective of apocalyptic freelancers? ![]()

![]() It's taken 6 years to get to this point, but the 132-page [url=http://paizo.com/products/btpy9fio/discuss?Anachronistic-AdventuresAnachronistic Adventures[/url] book, with classes, specializations, equipment, and campaign rules for 100% Pathfinder-compatible games emulating pulp adventures set in the 1700s to 1940s is available now! Prepare for Pulp Adventure! Want two-fisted action? Dapper heroes with ESP, strong-jawed adventurers who run in, guns blazing, and sophisticated great detectives? Love the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game, but you're looking for pulp adventure stories from the late 1700s to the 1940s? Then you want Anachronistic Adventures! This pulp genre toolbox works seamlessly with the existing Pathfinder Roleplaying Game rules, and presents: Six new 20-level classes (Cogitator, Daredevil, Enforcer, Luminary, Sensitive, and Tough) representing iconic pulp heroes concepts!

![]() It Just Got Easier to Make an Encounter Harder! Whether it’s the shaman of a pack of lizardmen, a group of gnoll mystics from the blasted deserts, or a succubus temptress one step more dangerous than her sisters, sometimes you just need to spice up a monster! Just slapping the advanced template on a creature often isn’t very interesting, but actually adding levels of core and base classes to monster stat blocks is time consuming and math-intensive. The simple class templates in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Monster Codex provided a fast and easy way to add the abilities of the core heroic classes to monsters, which is great when what you need is a monster with druid or rogue abilities, but that still leaves no quick way to create monstrous alchemists, antipaladins, oracles, samurai, and warpriests. The Genius Guide to Simple Class Templates for Monsters, adds simple class templates for the 21 alternate, base, and hybrid classes the original system left out. Each comes with fast and simple rules for adding class abilities to a monster, and a fully-written out, fully- illustrated example of what an antipaladin mohrg is like. Or a ninja rakshasa. Or a warpriest frost giant. Because when you need a nalfeshnee arcanist, you don’t have time to write it up from scratch. With full-color illustrations for every one of the template sample monsters! Our first book from up-and-coming writer Jenny Jarzabsky! ![]()
![]() So, first, a massively revised and expanded Anachronistic Adventures is available in the current All-Star Bundle of Holding, along with products from Kobold Press, Dreamscarred Press, Legendary Games, and Rite Publishing! But only for another week! Second, I released a free "adventure sketch," a rough outline of an adventure a GM can fill in and modify as needed for a specific game, for a Progress Level 4 Anachronistic Adventures game: Jurassic Island! ![]()
![]() The original Enforcer (from Anachronistic Adventurers: The Enforcer) was designed to serve a specific character role—a modern fighting-man transported to a fantasy world typical of the Pathfinder roleplaying Game. In that role, it serves admirably, and can easily be used in place of a fighter. However, if the enforcer is moved back into his native environment, be that pulp action adventures, weird war dieselpunk, modern urban fantasy, or science-fiction, the class begins to suffer. An enforcer in a Pathfinder-compatible fantasy realm can draw on the same tropes and support as a fighter, from spells cast by allies to enough magic items to light up like a Christmas tree, and is only expected to accomplish what a fighter normally does. In campaigns without the built-in assumption of that support, and the added weight of their own tropes where the fighting-man is often the *most* effective option for shutting down a foe with powers, it doesn’t hold up to genre expectations. Thus this Beta-Revision, made publicly available. This enforcer is designed to operate in a world where Anachronistic Adventurer classes are the norm, and clerics and wizards are rare. That changes what the enforcer has to be able to accomplish. This version still assumes *something* other than class features takes care of things like the bonuses Pathfinder characters gain as they gain levels, but that thing can easily be bonuses-by-level, such as are presented in Pathfinder Unchained. This is a work in progress, not a finished class. It has just enough meat to make a meal, but not to support a lavish and ongoing banquette. But feedback now can help determine what spices and side dishes get added, or help determine the whole thing needs to be thrown out and the cooks start over. ![]()
![]() Every feat you don't already have! The Feat Reference Document will be up on Paizo in pdf sometime soon (I'd guess next week, since some folks are out of the office). But you can get it right now on DriveThru and everywhere our pdfs are normally available, and a print version will also be available on DTRPG soon. This book is "Everything You Don't Already Have!!" The Feat Resource Document has over 700 feats from the publisher of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game Core Rulebook! It's the ultimate compilation of feats that aren’t in the online Resource Document, taken from more than 100 adventures, companions and campaign sourcebooks. All are in as close to their original format as possible with only those flavor changes required to make them 100% Open Game Content. Additionally, every feat has any word changes highlighted, so it's easy to determine if a feat has been modified in any way from the original published version, and all the needed rules sub-sets are included (so if you take Dragoncrafting, or Deific Obedience, all the rules needed to use those feats are in the Appendix). So stop flipping through scores of splatbooks looking for exactly what you need to make a villain memorable, tie a hero to his homeland, or properly use a dwarven chain-flail. Instead, get everything you need in The Feat Reference Document! It's the ultimate Pathfinder-compatible companion rulebook. ![]()
![]() Thanks Liz! I specifically want to call out the great work Sam Hing (author) and Bob Greyvenstein (cover artist, interior artist, and layout artist) did on Horrors of the Aboleth, one of our coolest and best-looking books to date! ![]()
![]() “Just when you thought it was safe to adventure in the water!” Aboleth are an empire of entirely inhuman intelligences who are older, smarter, and more vile than most land-based races. Horrors of the Aboleth assumes that a race as old and powerful as aboleth, and as prone to manipulating and transmogrifying other races, is going to have a great deal more in their empire than just their core race and skum servants. We present a wide range of noisome and disquieting new threats, ready to turn their alien intellects to the destruction of the PCs’ world and all lovingly illustrated by the cover artist! So prepare to behold the behemoth, face the slime golems, and flee the tentacle crabs. Nothing can save you now. ![]()
![]() The newly-released Mythic Options: Mythic Base Class Features includes mythic upgrades for every official base and alternate class, covering every option in the book each class is first presented. If your Alchemist, Antipaladin, Cavalier, Gunslinger, Inquisitor, Magus, Ninja, Oracle, Samurai, Summoner, or Witch needs mythic options designed specifically for their class, this is the book for you! Of course if you need mythic class options for the Barbarian, Bard, Cleric, Druid, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer, or Wizard, we've done those already in Mythic Options: Core Mythic Class Features! ![]()
![]() “I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” —Michelangelo Available now, The Construct Companion is our biggest book yet, with 120 pages of animated objects, golems, colossi, and support material including two construct-type playable races, themed archetypes, feats, spells, and rules for things like construct familiars!
