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
Pages: 13 Price: $4.95
Authors: Owen K.C. Stephens, Dustin Knight, Sasha Laranoa Harving
Developer: OKCS
WELCOME TO THE FEATS CHAPTER OF GALACTIC MAGIC!

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
Pages: 70 Price: $14.95
Author: Andrew White
Developer: OKCS
IT'S A DANGEROUS GALAXY OUT THERE!

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
Portfolio: Betrayal, Fire, Knowledge, Magic
Worshipers: Vesk, firefighters, spellcasters, historians.
Favored Weapon: Flaming Taclash
Connections: Akashic, Flamewalker, Overlord

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
Portfolio: Freedom, Rage, Strength
Worshipers: Vesk, rebels, liberators, sailors (and thus starfarers), special forces, Pahtra, Ysoki.
Favored Weapon: Fist
Connections: Flamewalker, Geneturge, Star Shaman

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.
One we SHOULDN'T have done.
But, literally by popular demand, here it is!

And, now it's part of our very first KlickStarter!

So, you may ask, what the heck is a KlickStarter?
It’s a way to use the power of social media to earn bonus content and stretch goals for a product that excites you… but that doesn’t ask you to take any risk! The pdf is for sale NOW, and you can buy it and have it in your hands NOW. You get what you paid for immediately, with ZERO chance of never seeing the project that excited you.

But if you help us just a little more, the following stretch goals can get you EVEN MORE CONTENT!
So what are our stretch goals?

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?!
Okay, fine. We’ll give you more. If you give us more!
(More exposure, that is.)
We’ll add pages of content to a revised Starfarer’s Codex: Horrifically Overpowered Feats to be updated in March, based on how many SHARES we get by 2/26.

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.

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.
But there will no longer be any Purple Duck for sale here.
So, time for a sale!

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.

Heya Folks,

RGG plans to do at least a few Starfinder books, but we're open to your ideas too!

So... what are you excited about seeing from 3pp for Starfinder?


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
The concept of cleric talents (and why they are a good idea) is first presented in The Genius Guide to the Talented Cleric, along with a large number of talents (many adapted from the abilities of cleric archetypes and hybrid classes). The new talents presented here can be used with that book, or added as new options for the traditional cleric class. With the extra options, a cleric can gain power as the leader of a cult, gain favor from her god by making sacrifices, and cut deals with supernatural creatures other than her god, all while remaining the voice and hand of her chosen divinity!


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.
But now, the Genius Guide to the Talented Witch and the Genius Guide to More Witch Talents have come out, and we're ready for more!

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
Scream Bloody Hell!
This hybrid class can whisper sweet lies or scream bloody hell. The blasphemer combines a bard's mastery of performance and language with the antipaladin's love of depravity and vileness – though she can be fairly flexible on what kind of evil she supports. With the power to use spells, pernicious performances, smites, and wicked words, the blasphemer is ready to talk some smack! Complete with two archetypes – the flame-tongue and the scale-tongue – and a selection of new spells appropriate for the blasphemer's wicked ways!

Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Fury (PFRPG
UNLEASH THE FURY!
A new hybrid class that delivers the purest of smackdowns – the focus of barbarian rage and monk martial arts skill combined into one ass-kicking compound combatant! The mighty master of wrath comes complete with three archetypes: Maimed, Revenant, and Vengeful!

Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Renegade
STAND AND DELIVER!
A new hybrid base class mixing the gunslinger and rogue! This charming ambush assassin comes complete with three archetypes: Brigand, Contract Killer, and Smuggler!

Four Horsemen Present—Hybrid Class: Shifu
Hadoken!
A new hybrid class that combines the monk's discipline and unarmed mastery with the kineticist's power over the elements. The shifu has dozens of elemental strikes, infusions, and ki disciplines she can learn to make her unarmed attacks much more than just "improved!"

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
The arcanist combines elements of the two ultimate arcane spellcasters: sorcerer and wizard. Advanced Options: Arcanist Exploits offers new exploits appropriate to any arcanist and five arcanist archetypes (the dagger-wielding bloodletter, construct-focused galvanist, monster-emulating thiriomancer, item-focused wandmaster, and abjuring ward weaver) each with its own set of additional exploits appropriate to the archetype's theme!
Magic is power. Exploit it!

Advanced Options: Slayer Talents & Lethalities
The slayer combines elements of the ranger and rogue. Advanced Options: Slayer Talents & Lethalities offers new talents and advanced talents, and an entirely new kind of option for the class, "lethalities"

Advanced Options: Warpriest Blessings
Bless YOU!
Warpriests combine the divine and magical elements of the cleric with the martial prowess of the fighter and can invoke powerful blessings, combat powers granted by their deities and tied to various domains. Advanced Options: Warpriest Blessings provides new blessings based upon the animal and terrain domains, as well as cleric domains from previous Rogue Genius Games releases.

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
Out-of-the-box golems perfect for creating interesting scenarios for even the most experienced players! This volume offers abstraction golem templates such as Fate, Hatred, and War!

Four Horsemen Present: Pakuvresh, the Flesh Golem Factory
A terrible citadel created by the Nether Mage, a long-since missing tenant, Pakuvresh is a dread factory endlessly churning out constructs of once-living flesh. The stronghold now drifts through shadowy realities, sending out bound fiends and using automated and undead labor to build a flesh golem armory… for unknown purpose.

Four Horsemen Present: Animated Traps Expanded
Animated ambushes perfect for surprising any party! This volume which offers the alarming wooden door trap (which slams itself on the unwitting explorer), the holding chamber of blades (which paralyzes and slashes those within), or the prismatic crushing stone trap (which surrounds, then crushes it's prey)! A total of seven animated traps in all!

Four Horsemen Present—Base Class: Engineer
Ever wanted to play a character that builds and wears her own suit of magic golem armor?! But crafting and using constructs is a difficult proposition for a PC. Constructs are expensive, difficult to repair, and require a certain mastery of spellcasting.
The engineer scoffs at such excuses, turning all her intellect and work ethic towards creation. Spending years locked away in schools and laboratories, she explores all the secrets constructcrafting has to offer. The engineer’s creations are her sword, armor, and art. While learning to craft her automatons might make her a peerless master in any number of areas, her first love is always the design and creation of magical life.
An engineer fights alongside or within her constructs, relying heavily on creations during combat. An engineer’s power comes from careful preparation in modifying her servants and crafting items of power. Many engineers concentrate on improving personal fighting capabilities, modified heavily by worn automatons and magical items.

And, of course, you should also pick up the Four Horsemen's pdfs supporting the mythic rules!

Being Mythic is Awesome!

In conjunction with d20PFSRD, RGG has four new pdfs with expansions and continuations of the Mythic rules!

Four Horsemen Present: Mythic Archetypes
The Four Horsemen present a new set of archetypes, tailored to take "Mythic" to a whole new level.
Mythic heroes are a diverse lot, from the children of death gods to the last scion of an all but extinct civilization. Why should two vastly different backgrounds produce the same mythic potential? Mythic Archetypes seeks to revisit the assumed conventions, granting additional alternatives to every mythic hero. These nine new heroic archetypes from Adaptable or Elemental, to Fiendish or Undying, provide a wider range of options for your mythic campaign!

Four Horsemen Present: Mythic Magic Expanded
The Four Horsemen show you how to do more with Mythic Magic than just expend a point from a pool! With Mythic Magic Expanded, you learn the secrets of Blood Rituals, gather worshipers together to call on Mortal Faith, weave your sagas into near reality with Storytelling, empower the things you craft with ancient Sigils, concentrate the power of the world into massive Monuments, or use mythic energies to craft Warding Circles to deal with outsiders.

Mythic Path: Transcendentalist
(With a 5-Star review!)
The Four Horsemen present a new mythic path, for those occult heroes seeking to unlock the secrets of psychic energy. The transcendentalist's power comes seemingly without effort, possibly transcending the limitations of the flesh. As a conduit to the realms of unseen mysticism, you draw upon psychic energy to unleash the powers of the universe.

Four Horsemen Present: Mythic Magic Items
Mythic characters need mythic magic items to keep up with them, and the Four Horsemen have you covered! From legendary items such as the sorrow-loving obsidian longsword Hirasthe ("the presence of evil") and the tower shield known only as the Mighty Parapet, to magic items ready to be enhanced with a character's mythic power such as the Brush Blade, Cascading Cloak, Mortifying Mask, and Sundering Shield, this product offers 19 items ready for the GM to say "Make some Mythic Characters!"

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!

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.

Thanks for the boost!


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!
