I wsnt like these but I cannot...if buy a packet of pawns to suppprt an AP it would be great if it came with all the pawns and the right number of them to support the AP.

Just starting a home game of Abomination Vaults so I looked high and low for these since they are put of print. But to my surprise there were missing pawns..no problem i will get out my old pawns...still not enough for encounters on thr first floor...sigh

I am wondering if there will be a Starfinder Special Edition Adventure Subscription? I have a Starfinder Adventure Subscription and wnat to change it a Special Edition but that does not seem to be an option even though "Guilt of the Gravelands" will have special edition. When I asked it seems the only options is to cancel my subscription and buy it seperately....accept there will be no Free PDF.

Seems strange not to have Special Edition Subscription available

Anyone know of a set of cards that cover the Exploration Activity? I was hoping to give my players a set each so they could put on the table in front of them (we play in person). We always seem to forget about them? Trying to make it easier

About to start a in person game...wondering if anyone has complied a Flipmap list for the encounters? I have the one in the box but would love to use so before I start to figure it out I thought I would ask

Will this get Society Scantioned? Just wondering

Maybe they are adding those terms for future content they are planning? They have done that in PF2 also.

Has there been any discussion on a playtest of the new starship rules? Just got the GM core and was a little disappointed to see how little content there was about starship combat. It was weird that vehicles were next in the book and that write up felt more like I was hoping to see for starships. Do not get me wrong, I will use the cinematic starship rules, they are good in certain situations but I was hoping for a little more.

I think there is a book coming out early next year with more...but it would be great to playtest starship combat and provide feedback.

Just wondering

Seems well balanced with the rest of the team to me. I think that is better then an over powered "realistic" sniper.

Seems like a pretty solid set. I like the story, I like the handouts, I like the GM tracker, and how the pregens interact with it. The story explores a pretty cool part of the setting also. I sleeved the hands outs and cards so that helped keep them protected. But I was disappointed in the tokens and the map (as others had said). I would have paid more for pawns and standard flipmap (coated in magic) just because it fits in with all the other stuff I have pawns and maps from SF1 I use and will continue to use while the maps and token are cool they probably will net get to the table in the regular game rotation.

This is what I would like to see the next deluxe adventure
1. Real Flip-Map
2. Pawns vs tokens
3. The Handouts and cards should all be the same size and paper choice. The 4 x 6 choice used for the cards would be great.
4. Maybe longer adventure more then one level. 1-4 would be good since a beginners box is normally 1-2.

This idea is pretty cool and would definity buy the next one :)

I would also love to get my hands on Abomination Vault Pawns. I checked Ebay, Amazon and few game stores...but nothing. Is there a way to get them?

Has book with the mechanic class been announced?

What do you mean "subordinate action"? I am thinking the single action in "ready reload" can be used in the reloading process. What in the text yells you that?

Subordinate Actions are a concept in SF2:

Quote:

Subordinate Actions

An action might allow you to use a simpler action— usually one of the Basic Actions—in a different circumstance or with different effects. This subordinate action still has its normal traits and effects, but it's modified in any ways listed in the larger action. For example, an activity that tells you to Stride up to half your Speed alters the normal distance you can move in a Stride. The Stride would still have the move trait, would still trigger reactions that occur based on movement, and so on. The subordinate action doesn't gain any of the traits of the larger action unless specified. The action that allows you to use a subordinate action doesn't require you to spend more actions or reactions to do so; that cost is already factored in.
Using an activity isn't the same as using any of its subordinate actions. For example, the quickened condition you get from the haste spell lets you spend an extra action each turn to Stride or Strike, but you couldn't use the extra action for an activity that includes a Stride or Strike. As another example, if you used an action that specified, “If the next action you use is a Strike,” an activity that includes a Strike wouldn't count because the next thing you're doing is starting an activity, not using the Strike basic action.

Player Core pg. 406

You have a Machine Gun, Reload 2.
1. You Strike or Auto-Fire.
2. You use ready reload:
- Reduce the Reload Cost from 2 to 1
- take a subordinate Reload action
3. Your Machine Gun is now Reloaded.
You only spend 1 Action to Relaod.

Thanks it makes sense...PF2 had the same Subordinate Action type, there was just not a real clear way to tell when to use it. I think if an action references another action in the text then it is a Subordinate Action to the reference action. I guess the "Ready Reload" does not make sense without it.

What do you mean "subordinate action"? I am thinking the single action in "ready reload" can be used in the reloading process. What in the text yells you that?

Does feat only matter if your weapon is Reload 3?

"You know that reloading a weapon can be a delicate process, but you’ve mastered how to do so in the middle of combat, starting while still in the act of firing your weapon. Reduce your weapon’s reload cost by 1, then Interact to reload your weapon. Unlike most Interact actions, you don’t need a free hand to reload your ranged weapon in this way."

It seems is is an action and it makes a 2 action reload one action.

So my Subscription final shipped (this afternoon). But the Player Core Special Eidtion book did not get added to the PDFs. Is the Special Edition PDF not released yet?

Are subscriptions still processing? Mine is still in pending..so not shipped yet. Just wondering since intitially the core book did not get added to my subscription and I had to reach out to customer service.

Will we get jpgs of the maps without the room numbers on them?

So I am just starting my SF2 journey and I plan to run "Battle for Nova Rush" since the PDF just came out. But I have a few questions since core book is not out. Seems like running this on FreeRPG day would have been hard

1 it seems the PDF is missing item and ability descriptions. Where can I get those? Is there a reference some where?

2 is there a way to get the maps with out the room numbers on them? I useca tv to display maps on my table top

Thanks in advance for any help

Just checked it has not released yet? Is it still releasing today?

I was unable to grab one on Free RPG Day. When does it release? I am hoping to run it for my home group

Cusotmer Service must have fixed mine, it is there now! Thanks CS

I subscribed to the "Starfinder Special Edition Rulebook Ongoing Subscription" but I do not see the core book in my sidecart yet? I see "Murder in Metal City" should I reach out to support? I see it is on preorder and expected to be release July 31s so I thought it would in my side cart.

It seems strange to me that a sling is reload 1 when all the bows are reload 0 (even the wierd ones like Sheildbow)? I am trying to determine why...reload 0 would not seem over powered comapred to shortbow? Thoughts on why this might be?

Just wondering how quickly do PDFs and books get updated with errata? I get it that AoN is available but having and offline PDF is also useful. Also How do we know when books get reprinted and updated?

Is this somewhere to see? if not I think it would be good to let us know. I know I will rebuy an older book is errata is pulled in.

I am looking for a simple straightford adventure. We have a new player and he struggles with ambiguity and complexity of story. To the point if he feels lost he reacts with chaos and in game destructive behavior. So I am looking for something that is black and white. We are the good guys....they are the bad guys. Roleplaying is fine as long as it in context of the story. I was thinking about Abomination Vault but I am little concerned about the second book.

So any suggestions would help me..I do not want a full app but a single adventure or 3 book AP is fine.

There is a map of skywatch provided....there appear to labels on the map but they are not on the image. Some apear to on some appear to be off? Greyed out. How do I get rid of them?

So the Skywatch map has labels on it? The do not appear to on the images but how do I turn them off for the players?

Awesome News!!! Thank you for rethinking the choice.

If we already got the previous pre-remaster version via subscription, will we be getting the remaster PDF update? or is this a completely different book?

If you already have the Guns & Gears PDF, you'll get the remaster version of the download automatically just like you would when we release a new printing with errata.

Any chance of seeing the changed list before it is printed? So as subscribers we can determine if we want to skip of not.

Heyis there where report issues? It appears the landing page image chaning macro no longer exists or works? Not a big deal but thought I would report it

Seems there is something wrong with the curretn release 12.01? It keeps having me update it but it never changes? Can someone looking into that

Sounds Great.....but last time they made a commentment to PF2 it fell short. I own a bunch of stuff on roll20 for PF2 and PF1...ran a 4 year PF2 campaign on roll20 but some of it was never really finished. Here is hoping the make good on everything stated above :)

Waiting patiently...... :)

IS there a comphrensive list of the changes? I am looking for Prismatic Sphere in the player core. Was it dropped or was it renamed?

Just wondering if we will get a set of remaster pregen characters at some point? At least for the classes released? Nov 16th maybe :) JK

Plus it’ll be another 8 months before remaster is completed.

Saying that the remaster will be "completed" in 8 months is quite laughable to me...

** spoiler omitted **...

Yeah except that's not what I was talking about. The core books for remaster, much of which yet unreleased is still needed for fully remastered adventures, will be the 4 announced titles.

Of course there will be more books, and they will of course contain remastered options of previously released content. In fact, we already know that to be the case with Lost Omens Divine Mysteries. I never suggested otherwise.

Yea I own Rusthenge, looks be a lot of fun. But I was looking for something to help with changes (not many) like something around spell schools and the changes to alignment, holy vs unholy and void vs vitality. No problem I can introduce them in one of the PFS scenarios.

Well just got access to the PDFs so here is my take...

1. I persoanlly like how they handled the removal of alignment. In my game it really only mattered with classes like Cleric and Champion. Everyone else it was just a roleplay prompt that was ignored most of the time.

2. I like the changes to Wizard, spell schools being actual schools makes way more sense and is thematic.

3. Rebalancing and renaming cantrips/spells seems to works out and seems to make sense.

4. The renaming of everything will take a while to get use too..lol I still ask for sense motive checks :)

5. Atrributes vs Abilities Modifiers is fine. The modifier was really the only thing that mattered, I feel they could have dealt with the two points to raise anything over 4 a little better but it will work.

6. Little perlexed by the removal of the Eldritch Trickster racket I guess it will come abck as an arch-type

7. The removal of the fighter Open trait is welcomed :)

8. Not sure I understand Druid Order Animal....does it really only ever get one focus spell.

Just a few thoughts over it looks like a good update to PF2 to me :)

I know I can use all the old adventures but was wondering if there was an adventure released in remastered rules? With intro about changes in the game things like removal of alignement (and the changes to address that) and things like that? Basically highlighting shifts for people? I have gaming event on the 25th where I would like to high light the remaster.

I am going to be running PF2 demos at my local library con in October. Is there a demo that can scale with the number of players available? Torment and Legacy assumes 4 to 6 players but I need something that can run on a variable amount of players starting with 1 and maybe an iconic.

The Gencon demo "Pathfinder Demo: Bandits on the Bridge" list 1 to 12 players which sounds perfect but it does not seem to be available for purchase or download. thoughts?

So trying to get on the table with my freinds that have tickets is not going to be doable and I may not happen at all. I understand but I guess I will look for something else that is sure thing. thanks for the info :(

Have not been to Gencon in a few yers and I am having a real hard time find events. Do they still seat generic tickets? 2 of my friends got into the special for pathfinder but I did not get a ticket? Will then seat a generic for the special? Or any events?

When does all of the other published content lines move to the new rule set? Society? APs? Cards? All that stuff will need to get updated. Is Rage of Elements the last core book? Is Stolen Fate the last AP?

... Whoa there, you seem to be massively overestimating the impact of these changes.

We already know the AP after Stolen Fate, so no, I can promise it's not the last AP. None of the existing content needs to be updated to move to the new rule set; people can deal with old books saying "spell level" instead of "spell rank" or listing alignments. Nothing about the Thaumaturge needs to change to accommodate these changes.

Right but a some point all the new published material will start using the new changes...alignment will stop being added to printed material. Adventures and APs will stop using the old monster stats and start using the core stats. Society play will convert to the new rule set. Just wondering when that will be

When does the Foundry VTT Module drop for this adventure?

So we are about 3 weeks out from starting this adventure path :) We are moving to Foundry full time with this. I ahve a few questions. Can I load all the books at once? Or do load book 1 and when we finish it load book 2? Doing a test it tells me while loading book 2 after book 1 that it will over write existing assets. Is that ok or are there changes to things specific to book 2 :)

A couple of Quick question. Can I load Book 1 and Book 2 into the same Foundry world? Do I need to wait for book 1 to be finished to load book 2?

So I would love to be able to have a starting data package for Campaign Manager. Something like World Anvil, Campfire, Kanka or Scabbard data packages would be great. I am not set on platform yet. Anyone know if something like this exists? I have all the books/PDFs but would love to jump start the campaign manager if possible. Thoughts?

Nice!

Thanks for the Reply! It seems like adding the "Aura" trait to a few of these spells fixes the issues or maybe that is the rule as intended? Invisibility Sphere seems like a strange case, maybe I am reading to much into the wording and the rules but it sure does not seem like it. Has this been raised for that FAQ? Was there any comment on it?

I was told today that by RAW the emanation from bless does not move with the caster. It is stationary, meaning to move it the caster has to move and spend an action to extened it by 5 feet thus recnetering it on them. There was a lot of discuccsion around emanations and the thought that they do not move unless it it says "emanation that continually ebbs out from you" like aura. I did bring Sphere of Invisibilty which states "While exploring, it's easy to move together slowly and remain invisible". which I guess which implies movement?

Is this true? have I been playing bless wrong for 2 years now? Dogs and cats living together? Mass hysteria?

Thanks for any wisdom shared :)
