On a sidenote, someone told me that "4E is good if you change the rules", but when I need to do that, it just means that the established rules are broken. Great point. I liked your whole spiel on 4e. I agree with those criticisms. At the time, I was more aggravated by the fact that gnomes, druids, barbarians, etc. weren't in the PHB. And how regimented and boring magic items were.
McDonalds... Thank you, good point. And thank you for pushing back against McDonalds’ disgustingly successful PR propaganda campaign against that seriously injured plaintiff. Preach!
I'd like to echo everyone's praise for Paizo's hard-working employees & creative talents. I'm sure we're missing many, but I'd like to add: Joe Pasini: I've had some interactions with Joe Pasini, and always found him to be incredibly friendly, witty and self-effacing. At PaizoCon 2018 he GM'd the Starfinder delve and I was so happy to be at that table playing Keskodai the Mystic, doing all I could to keep the PCs standing with heals while Joe tried to kill us all. I adore the scenario Cries from the Drift he authored, as well as the wealth of other Starfinder works which he authored or contributed to. Thank you Joe!
Sara Marie was wonderful here on these forums, and IRL. She taught me how to play Five Minute Dungeon at PaizoCon 2018. What a sad development. You are loved & missed Sara Marie!
Rise of the Runelords, nearly done with Burnt Offerings!
Perilous Vistas? Huh, never heard of em, thank you for the tip
It may just be the 5E juggernaut sapping new players away. I enjoy 5e quite a lot, but PF1 will always be my fave :)
Glass Cannon? Yeah, you nailed it. They take their time. There's over 200 episodes, each an hour+ long, of PF1 action. They took a pause during lockdown, but now are back in the studio back to Giantslayer. Plus, their pause during lockdown was just a pause from Giantslayer. Over Zoom/Roll20 they played Feast at Ravenmoor and Midnight Mirror, all 1st edition PF. They do Dark Suns for Starfinder, and I don't know the PF2 they're doing but I know they're doing some PF2 on a different podcast too :)
well played
I think the forums slowed down a lot, because lots of games slowed down with the birth of Corona.For some of us, COVID had zero impact because we haven't played in person in years (in my case, not for decades). We've been virtual (with a variety of tools) since 2001. :-) Agreed. There's a healthy lot of online play these days including PF1. I was recently invited to Play-by-Post Rise of the Runelords per PF1 rules, totally loving it... nearly done with Burnt Offerings! And I'm still listening to Glass Cannon, still have not got through all of their PF1 content. I'm so glad these PF1 forums are still humming along
Tale as old as time. Started with the red box in 1984, loved 2nd ed AD&D, loved 3rd edition, excitedly bought the three core 4e books, loved the art, hated everything else, jumped ship to Pathfinder, happy as a clam.
Oh interesting, I was fully unaware of all that, thank you for sharing.
it wouldn't end any arguments but it would be nice to have. Yeah, some mysteries shall persist into perpetuity.
Regenerate
Oh I thought the OP was more or less inviting people to wax nostalgic about our personal preferences. Is there somewhere else for that?
If Paizo made more 1e products( yeah I know "and monkeys might fly out of my butt"), but if it actual happened, would you buy them? Yes, definitely. I continue to buy PF1 materials off the secondary market, but I would buy them new if in print. Also would you be more interested in mostly new, roughly 50/50 new and reprints, or mostly reprints/updated stuff? 50/50
At the end of my scenario, players rolled for con boons, and my brain went entirely blank. Can someone please remind me how those work? Thank you!
Looking to put together a party to run through 2-24 The Cornered Rat. It's a 9-12 level adventure and I'm hoping to play in the 11-12 tier if possible. However, if we can't get enough high level PC's to do that I'm fine playing in the lower tier. We have two PC's so far. Post here if you are interested. Sounds cool. Is that play-by-post? In that level range, I only got a 9th level guy, but I never mind playing out of tier if you still need players :)
Have there been surveys about this? Put me down for "pro boons on chronicle sheets" :)
woohoo! So pumped!
Hurray! Very happy to see this coming soon
Agreed. Take my $!
Thank you, thank you! Great answers too. Those all make sense. Much appreciated. P.S. I love Starfinder. I'm still drooling over Alien Archive 3 right here.
This is super cool. Hurray for the candidates!
Oof, look at all the stuff y'all found since I went down with the sickness earlier this week. This is gonna be one heckin' update. Here we go, I did my best to get them all in here: Wow! Thank you for alll your hard work VestOfHolding! This kind of effort & attention to detail is super helpful. Paizo should put you on the payroll.
Easy to skip over all that. I don’t recall any of that, so we must’ve left that aspect out. I don’t think that was integral to the overall story.
Legacy of Fire was lots of fun, and I cannot off-hand recall anything uber-dark about it. I think that could be played with a light, fairytale theme. I mean, you have spoiler: silly pugwampis, genies, fantastical demiplane, romp through the City of Brass, wishes, etc.
Thank you GMs for prepping and putting in all the hard work!

I'm very pumped to see this. Should be stellar
I'm very happy to hear of this development. Starfinder + Wiz Kids = Joy
Folks, Just a heads up, WizKids has issued a press release regarding WizKids Starfinder Battles Miniatures. Thank you for sharing this happy news. I appreciate your hard work on here
8am was the start session time for most PFS stuff. Thank you!
Hello, I'll probably fly into Seattle the morning of Friday. I'm trying to figure out when the early Friday games start. I noticed on these forums some GMs suggesting their times slots start at 7:45 a.m. Is that when the games actually start, or when doors open to the ballroom, or something else? Thank you very much.
oh gotcha! thanks. I thought I was missing out on some inside jargon.
I'm not quite as fluent: what does that sentence mean? Thanks!
Super excited for the Starfinder Beginner Box!
Yes. The backup generator was the the first armor upgrade my Shirren Soldier bought. He and his teammates were glad to have it when away from civilization.
I feel like Androids, Vesks, and Humans are the most common I'm seeing. I'm currently playing a Shirren Soldier, Ghoran Vanguard, and Half-Elf Mystic.
Happy holidays to all of you as well! Happy Holidays! Thank you to you and Mr. Seifter for checking in and posting here on these forums. I hope everyone is enjoying Christmas today.
The more I play Starfinder, the more I like the Stamina-Resolve system.
Happy holidays everyone! And to you as well! I'm very happy with these revisions. This playtest process has been fascinating. I appreciate the developers working so hard and trying to make a great product by considering such disparate opinions and viewpoints. I look forward to checking out the final version next year. Thank you Dante for posting.
Actually, the Vanguard gets a special weapon specialization at 3rd level which lets them add their full vanguard level to damage with Entropic strike, even though its an operative weapon. Other class levels still only add half damage. Thank you! My eyes glossed right past that. Are there other Starfinder classes who have Weapon Specializations that function differently?
And operative weapons only get half the benefit of Weapon Specialization, so that's another reason to try Strength-Vanguard. I'm gonna make one for fun, see how it goes.
Can you use entropic strike on a thrown weapon? They're melee weapons.If the melee weapon is one that allows you to add its weapon special properties to the entropic strike, yes. Otherwise, no. Thank you for this, and the other clarifications. This playtest is awesome :)
If you want to focus on thrown weapons, Strength build could work nicely. You can use entropic strike with melee weapons that have the thrown special weapon property.
