1) We know that technology will advance on Golarion because we have the result of that advancement in the Starfinder setting. The “Gap” doesn’t let us know how far into the future the Starfinder setting is but can we assume the Golarion tech level advances at the same rate as it did/does on Earth? So, in a couple hundred years we’ll have an “industrial revolution” on Golarion and then, from there, tech blasts off at an exponential rate?

In most fantasy settings we don’t have to think about this as it doesn’t have a companion setting that’s set in the far future with advanced tech. We can just assume the setting pretty much stays at medieval/Renaisance tech level as that’s what we know and love from fiction - the setting might stay like that for thousands of years and we can hand wave it as it’s fantasy. With Golarion, however, it is confirmed it does advance to a high tech level. So I find the question of how fast tech advances on Golarion needs to be asked.

2) Are elves, dwarves, gnomes, half-elves, half-orcs and halflings as prolific as they were when they lived on Golarion? I just ask the question as they’re not core PC races in Starfinder.

3) Where do the core Starfinder PC races (lashuntas, kasathas, androids, vesk, ysoki, shirrens) come from? Are they from planets within the Golarion solar system or are they from external solar systems?

4) What examples of a fusion of magic and technology are there? Can you just get a +1 enchanted blaster, etc? A starship nuclear reactor of endless power? Has magic crafting been industrialised with magic-using factory workers pumping out magitech?

5) The Pathfinder setting is called Golarion. Does the Starfinder setting have a name? It would be nice to refer to it as something other than the “Starfinder setting”.

Thank you

I'm on the look out for a good port city and was thinking of picking up Pathfinder Chronicles: Guide to Absalom. Upon looking at the map, however, I notice that the city doesn't seem to sit next to a river. So, I was just wondering where such a city would get its drinking water from?

Are there underground springs feeding wells?

Thanks

Hi folks,

I'm looking at the map of Falcon's Hallow in "Crown of the Kobold King" and trying to figure out where Brookman's Well would be placed.

Brookman's Well is said to be "a small spring on the edge of town" in the "Hallow's Last Hope" module.

I was just wondering where others have placed it. Would it be outside the town wall?

Thank you
