I've got a couple concerns with the second edition of Pathfinder. I'll try to keep them brief. This is also in order of discovery.

1. Ancestry feats both mechanically sound and broke. Here's why. Genetically the humanoid species are still close enough on the tree of life where interbreeding is still not only viable but those children are capable of reproducing. How it's wrote, mechanics is sound, how it's implied is you had an elf or orc ancestors that snuck in the family tree on both sides and those recessive genes happened to activate in you. If it was for background of your character, that's fine for background, not as a feat. It'll be like taking a feat for the sorcerer's bloodline, your sacrificing a feat for maybe a bit more awesome than base human. Not to mention that humans, elves, and orcs are still capable of interbreeding in starfinder.

2. Pages 5 and 6. It's not needed. any and all problems would be resolved within the group, not the company. There's several discussions on that topic so I'm not going to start a broken record. I also play white wolf/onyx path world of darkness series, there's a tweet they used that I'm going to imply for all the possible flak.

My recommendation is bring back half elf and half Orc as proper player races, and repurpose page 5 and 6 for goblins as a PC race.

Started a Western setting for Pathfinder I dubbed Dustfinder. So far it's been successful, mainly because it's a solo campaign and hit some roadblocks.

1. What would be the appropriate price adjustment for firearms from ultimate combat to basically western time period? I haven't gone into caliber. I made revolvers 25-150 gold. Kept ammo price the same.

2. How do I adjust the feats to allow firearms proficiency? Already seen the ultimate combat version. Didn't like how you need to declare exotic/martial weapons proficiency and specify firearms

3. This is more time period appropriate. What base classes would be time period appropriate? Gunslinger, base classes, brawler, investigator, hunter, shaman, samurai, ninja, I got covered. Remember, wild West is Victorian England and manji era Japan.

Two of Lando's gambiling partners. A dwarf and Wrikreechee! Is there a bounty of Lando Calridsian?

Working on the mirror of pathfinder worldscape I deem starfinder traverse. Since there's a plenthra of sci-fi heroes, here's what me and my group has. Add your favorite sci-fi heroes here.

Captain Nemo: spacefarer Human Envoy
Commissar Sebastian Yarrik: mercenary Human soldier
Stan Blazkowicz: Merc Aasimar soldier
Richard B. Riddick: Outlaw Furian Operative Daredevil
Han Solo: Outlaw Human operative Scoundrel (d20 star wars scoundrel class works too)

Recently found the pathfinder worldscape. Struck with inspiration for a Christmas special and pissed off at myself. Almost my literal reaction.

I'm going to make my own starfinder worldscape! And it's going to have black jack! And hookers!

Backstory!
The traverse is a parallel dimension, seeking warriors and explorers. It calls across space time and dimension. The gods can still be reached and power can be drawn from them, but none have found the traverse. Many have come to colonize the traverse and it's strange worlds. None have found a way out. Technological levels wildly vary depending on those the traverse gathered, archaic to impossible to comprehend, none of the technology was able to intermix or reversed engineered. There's several factions fighting for control of the traverse, good, evil, order, destruction, and just survival.

Last night one of my friends decided to make a new character for my starfinder game. He made a Drow Noble Solarian. And when I was telling him how the first two revelations. He asked if Black Hole can be used on objects. I reread it. Book says no (per wording), I said I don't see why not. Considering that you can choose your targets and there's a lot of objects that are lighter to exact weight of creature (undetermined). I can see Black Hole being used for basically Force Push.

What do you guys thing? Yes, no, DM choice?

Still reading through the individual planets. Having a bit of a problem of who's native to the particular planet. Since homeworld is suggestive, having a hard time of who's the original populations before colonization or even current populations. Going with the core and alien archives, here's what I got. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, because I know I'm somewhere.

Burning Archepeligo - Any, Sarenite dominate.
Aballon - Anacite, two major factions, Triune dominate.

Working on converting the cleric from Pathfinder. 90% done. Having trouble with spells.

Running a salvage run game and need help converting this beast. Formerly IJN to EDF Atragon. Built with alloys to ensure atmospheric flight. And has under gone two retro fits, to make it space worthy and turret mounted weapons work in space (laser or specially designed rounds). Retired then recommissioned as it's own class of ships the Atragon Class with the EDF Gotengo as it's flag ship. I know about the anime version which I consider that it's own ship.

What I figured out so far.

Weapons
Absolute zero cannon: bow mounted, affixed (more likely is) to drill axle, cone spray, instant death to humanoid life, destruction to fixed structures.
Bow Drill: bow mounted ramming weapon, jackhammer tipped, designed for ramming attacks and burrowing through the planet's crust.
Saw Blade x3: Top and bottom mounted, assists drill with additional damage and burrowing.
4x turrets: 3x 16 inch guns, max range ten miles solid projectile, can switch from solid projectile to electron partical and laser.
Missiles: starboard and port 5x missile silos, conventional warheads.

Defense
Armor: Average Japanese submarine thickness, material though is an unknown metal allow mix making it stronger than it appears.
Discharge circuits: For added measure, anti-personal electrical discharge circuits and batteries. In place for boarding parties or monster engagement.

Movement
Planetary: 80 nautical knots on water surface (considerably slower when submerged or burrowing), Unknown depth range, capable of surviving extreme heat from mantle.
Aerospace: Anti-gravity repulsers for atmospheric flight, retrofitted for space travel (known feat reached Venus in undetermined amount of time).

Crew
Size: Unknown.

That's all I can dig up.

Running a psuedo parody Star Wars story. While waiting on the failed promise of a starship combat tutorial video. I decided to crash course it and convert a monster at the same time. The creature in question obviously in mind is the aboleth. Being an aberration I felt it was perfect to become a void born creature. Now came to a couple of problems with conversion.

Primarily how to convert the pathfinder AC/touch/flat footed into the starfinder AC/TL scores. If I were to assume some number juggling, AC 19 and TL 20. Size wise I'd figure a large monstrous creature would translate to medium size in starship terms.

Secondly would be the mucus cloud and slime special abilities. While those would work in water, I'm guessing not so much in space. What would be good substitutes at least with appropriate space themed offensive special abilities for a void born aboleth? Radiation or EM?

Time to go from speculation to experimentation.

Billy: I'm scared Poncho.

Poncho: B*******. You ain't afraid of no man.

Billy: There's something out there waiting for us, and it ain't no man. We're all gonna die.

Due to the board's limitation on posting it's going to be a slow build.

With the speculation on magic. Got me thinking about the planes of the universe. With the advent of star travel and FTL technology, along side with magic and psychic abilities. How would characters refer to the planes of the universe? Would it be the olde terminology or the more scientific? Does it go along with how society evolved over the years? The planar variant human races (tieflings, Aasimar, etc.) are they extra-planar or extra-dimensional?
