Vitally Important question to those with this book in hand... DOES it contain Isolated Artworks of the Metal and Wood Scamps?
Does Playtest Starfinder got anything about Starships and Vehicles during those days? I ignore it since there was nothing about transport in Starfinder Playtest book. There's no official confirmation but my guess is we won't be seeing em until until spring 2025 at the earliest when we see tests for the mechanic and technomancer.
Well I can't NOT buy this... Patiently waiting for the Scamp Core Book and token pack. Featuring; 1. Metal Scamp
And while yes I know that Metal Scamp and Wood Scamp have art in the Year of Unfettered Exploration, They are in the old scamp design. These babies deserve a makeover.
If I wanna tell people about a custom side quest I made for Abomination Vaults where the PCs go to Absolom. And if I say "Find this NPC on Page XYZ of the Grand Bazzar" and say "Use these stat blocks from Monster Core." and just post it in a discord text message or a reddit post, this is now a violation.Both of those are covered under Fair Use. You're not publishing anything in a forum or chat program. And if you did want to publish the whole thing, now you just point people to the Infinite product page (and can set the price as free if you want) instead of linking directly to the PDF on your Google Drive or wherever. With all due respect, what if I don't want to make a "Free Product"? What if I just want something completely amateur in nature that won't be assosiated with me if I later DO decide to start creating things to be sold on Infinite and don't want to sign up for a publishing ecosystem just to have an NPC say "Praise Desna" in a thing I want to share with fans that doesn't have to be on the same ecosystem as paid works? This just feels like a massive betrayal of trust for the little folks. Frankly your response only increases my feelings of worry and betrayal as it seems wanting to force people to use the Infinite Ecosystem if they wish for something to be publicly available is a feature not a bug.
Also what if someone wishes to post a series of Notes saying "To run Aeon throne in Starfinder's Playtest use 3 Aeon Guards in Area z3, and here are custom stat blocks."? Based on these terms ANYTHING akin to this is illegal to post freely because it technically references OGL published content even if such a guide takes great care to not be functional without purchasing the original book and reading its story. Simply by virtue saying "Instead of the setting specific NPC from first edition in this location here, use this setting specific NPC from the playtest." This prevents free fan content that could drive sales of past fantastic adventures.
Most of what you could previously do with the Community Use Policy is still permitted under the Fan Content Policy except for making RPG products, which you’ll need to release through the Pathfinder or Starfinder Infinite storefronts (even for free if you want) from now on. Well this gatekeeping feels harsh to me. Sorry I say this out of love but I cannot see a single reason why restricting free rpg works taking place on Golarion to PF and SF Infinite feels like a MASSIVE barrier to entry. If I wanna tell people about a custom side quest I made for Abomination Vaults where the PCs go to Absolom. And if I say "Find this NPC on Page XYZ of the Grand Bazzar" and say "Use these stat blocks from Monster Core." and just post it in a discord text message or a reddit post, this is now a violation. I simply do not wish to go through the effort to publish a fun mini idea I may have and I bet there are many people more creative and talented than me who feel the same. People who cut their teeth on free fan content and then work their way into the industry now have another hoop to jump through. I hate to say it but this is extremely disappointing to me. If you had said paid or paywalled works must be on Infinite I'd almost see it as understandable. This however? It makes my stomach sink. Makes me a lot less excited for some of the releases I was planning to buy in August due to emotional bleed.
Darn, Shame I already bought all of Age of Ashes back in October in preparation to run it... Don't suppose there's a way I could show my purchase of the bundle before redeeming the code and get a Partial refund? /jk
I'd also love to know this myself... I mean honestly I'm probably gonna homebrew for my own player's benefits regardless of official stances but if I ever wanna mix those feats with Nephilim as a player it'd be useful to know whether or not I'm trying to see my GM on a houserule.
So I'm thinking of subscribing for the Remaster because I really want the hardcovers and I've heard subscribers can get the PDFs early when their hard copy ships. I don't want to subscribe just yet though as I already have Treasure Vault and Rage of Elements PDFs. My question is, how soon before release do new books tend to be options for New Subscribers to start their subscriptions there?
Hmmmmm... I don't run PFS scenarios at present BUT those foundry asset packs do sound tantilizing! |
