Well it's many many pages in and I'm still super excited. I really enjoy the Starfinder world, I was day 1 on the original even though I really was not into Pathfinder at the time due to the 1e mechanics. I'm really looking forward to getting back in

I've really been waiting for this since PF2 came out. Really can't wait to get back in

Incredibly excited. Can't come soon enough

Same here. Tried 3 different browsers, different devices, cache, incognito, buying something else!

Sorry to be dense, but if I’m not currently a subscriber it seems like I don’t get a PDF if I preorder this? Will there be an option to grab a PDF version at some point as well? Will I need to buy it separately?

I've been following this for a while and wanted to drop in my thoughts here as well as a comment on the blog itself

My AP sub has had issues since I moved due to changes in billing address. I wanted to get it started again but when I saw what AP was coming up I decided to hold off. The blog, while I think it does address some issues, is not enough for me to pick up from this AP. I'll wait for more community reviews and consider dropping back in later depending on a thorough assessment of how things are actually handled, or wait for the next cycle of APs in 6 months.

The blog admits to them having had opportunities early in the process to course correct, that weren't taken. That I think is my larger concern. What is being done to address the issues correctly recognised here about dismissing concerns about this early on in the process? This is what I'd like to see more detail on to be comfortable that Paizo are taking these issues seriously and have a strong commitment to addressing them. It's important to recognise that having some representation from marginalised groups doesn't automatically make you respectful or representative of all marginalised groups, and you have to work at that. I'd like to see them doing the work that I can be happy supporting, and would love to support that in future.

I echo keftiu's comments which bear repeating - what is being done to address the issues correctly recognised here about dismissing concerns about this early on in the process? This is what I'd like to see.

I'm glad that giving a more sensitive and nuanced treatment to the Mwangi Expanse was one of the explicit design goals for the setting. Excited to see what you've done with it!
