Outside of a homebrew campaign I've started about Earth in a Starfinder universe, I've bought all the Starfinder products and have been reading them and am interested in their universe.
However, I can't get around "the gap" ... it's a deal killer for me to campaign in ...
It's described as: a recent phenomenon affecting all the memories and records across the multiverse. All memories and records of the planet Golarion were removed from all of the multiverse's inhabitants along with all memories of an indeterminate number of years.
This strikes me as incredibly short-sighted for a game. How much of great fantasy fiction is based on history ...
When I did my "Earth in Starfinder" campaign, the most fascinating part was creating a 2,000 plus years of history and how it all led up to the current universe. And that history is all great for roleplaying mission threads.
The Pact Worlds have 300 years of history ... the rule book says the universe has been inhabited for tens of thousands of years but it's unclear how much of that is Pathfinder years and how much of that would be the genesis of the Starfinder timeline ...
So I want to do an alternate history ... where "the gap" is filled in ... but I'm not quite sure where to begin.
Do I bring back Golarion as a regular world -- perhaps being what Coruscant is to Star Wars?
How do I try to estimate how many years of history were erased by "The Gap?"
Any tips/advice is appreciated.
