I've loved Starfinder ever since it came out, and every addition to the game so far has only deepened that, but I can hardly say I'm satisfied. I'm eager to see what is coming on the horizon, but there are some areas I'd like to see deeper exploration.

-More info on Pathfinder-era ancestries that haven't already made the jump to Starfinder. I don't care if Ysoki already fill the niche, I'd love to see kobolds in space. Plenty of classic fantasy species would do well with a Starfinder write-up, and we've certainly seen how orcs have been changed by the centuries. In a similar way, other playable species could find their own niche separate from similar alien ancestries that already exist.

-More Character Option Books. Yes, Starfinder has so far been "Less is more" compared to PF1e, but with 4 Alien Archive books under our belt, perhaps it's time to delve into expanding the various sub-genre's of sci-fi that players can explore through their character. Mechanics that have swarms of orbiting mini-drones, A bigger delving into how the Planes have changed in the millenia, and so on.

-Bigger Books in General. I know that's a longshot, but Starfinder books are criminally small compared to their Pathfinder equivalents, particularly books like Near Space, which was even smaller than Pact Worlds despite covering many more worlds!

I think I'll leave it here before I start to really ramble, but what are the rest of you hoping for in the future of the game?

Im hoping for a couple of new classes and themes, along with some material on magic post gap and if or how its changed. Along with some information around the planes... I really want to do more sci fi adventures in other realms of existence


I am loving the system, its versatile and I can be as complicated or loose with it as I want. I like that the classes up till this point (Jan 3rd 2021) nothing feels singularly overpowered and while the game has optimized builds for classes they are not essential to have or do.

It feels like a good swing at the 3 action economy that pathfinder perfected,and ultimately stands on its own.

I love this game :p
