Congratulations to the two 5 Glyph GMs, well done!!

It may include some from PF2, but as far as I can tell they are not planning on reprinting the ancestries released from other SF2 sources in Galactic Ancestries.

Other SF2 sources already available include:

Galaxy Guide:

Astrazoan
Contemplative
Dragonkin
Kalo
Sarcesian
Vlaka

Murder in Metal City:

Khizar

Guilt of the Grave World:

Elebrian
Corpse Folk (versatile heritage)

Starfinder Society 2 Players Guide 2025

Ikeshti
Shobad

I live in Australia and would also prefer Mail Innovations. They are slower with no tracking, but half the price. $27 postage for a single AP volume is very ouchy.

You can find the invasions edge players guide on the Starfinder Society home page

Starfinder and Pathfinder Society scenarios added to their respective "Coming Soon" tiles, as there is currently no way to see upcoming titles in those two lines.

To whoever packed my order, thanks for the little cat drawing on the inside flap of the box. It made me smile after a long day.

Congratulations to our 5 glyph and Campaign Coin recipients. Well done all!!

I don't like the shorter scenario length for our particular set-up, but understand it for other time-constrained set-ups.

I don't like the removal of stat blocks, it seems to be a quality of life change we fought for that is now taken away, making things that bit harder (Hilary said it better).

But the 2-level bands, without the stuff that potentially makes it work for SFS2, is going to break things. We will now have hard brackets with no overlap. I am frequently having new players rock up to play at my venue (a good place to be), but this will make it a lot harder to wrangle and keep them wanting to come back.

I have two suggestions to potentially make it work:

One: like SFS2, allow characters to be created at 1, 3, 5 and 7. Yes, there are some downsides to this, but the 2-level bands mean the upside is greater.
Two: Look at how pregen credit can be applied. With treasure bundles making the gold easy to calculate, it should be possible to apply the credit to any character the level of the pregen or below, allowing people to advance into the next bracket.

The first meta-plot is technically 1.00 (3rd level pregens only). The first meta-plot you can play with your own character is 1.01.

One thing that I noticed, that I liked is that there is exactly 6 meta-plot 1-2 scenarios before the first 3-4, so I have two characters, one is just for the Meta-plot, and the other is more free roaming

Congratulations to all the new 5 Glyph and Nova GMs. We applaud your work.

This is a great idea. I fully support it. I have a number of players where sanctioning is part of the value of an adventure, so let's get them invested and playing!!

I think the AP change is broadly positive. But from a GM and organiser POV, the PFS2 changes are a step backwards.

I am ambivalent about the timing change as we don't have firm timing at our venue, but I dislike the loss of the appendices that we fought to include.

But the 1-2 level range, without the SFS2 changes that makes it work,is awful. Many people upthread have said it better, but I would ask whoever makes decisions on PFS to at least give the ability to make characters at 1, 3, 5 and 7 like SFS2.

The SFS one went from $9 to $6 when they changed the length and level range for SFS2, hopefully the same will happen here.

Alex has clarified further up this thread that it will work the same as other programs.

Will there be a online stream of any announcements during Gencon? If so, is there a schedule?

21st July

I can say this is straight out worse for me. I get everything I want from Paizo via my subscriptions (postage to Australia is just too expensive for me to want to go all in). So I lose my legacy 15% advantage for gold I will never spend.

I cannot speak for Paizo, but I have found that framing matting is about the perfect width. My local framing place sells bags of offcuts really cheaply

Is the Panels going to also be recorded on Twitch, like in the past. I have watched them slightly lagged in the past (the keynote starts at 3am here), but I noticed that your Twitch channel is not showing anything after 2019, which makes me nervous.

Hi there,

I was just setting up some technology to watch next week's Paizo panels on Twitch, and noticed that no recent videos (after 2019) are showing on the twitch channel.

In previous years I have been able to go onto Twitch and watch the Panels with a bit of a lag (easier for the Australian timezone). Are the Paizocon panels going to be recorded on Twitch to watch, not live only?

Congrats on the 5 Novas, James.

Congrats also to Alex on his well deserved promotion, an acknowledgement of all his excellent work.

Catfolk are in Player Core 2 and no longer need a boon to play....

Very excited to see what is in store for us all, both for the game itself, and for the Starfinder Society. Bring on the Year one Metaplot!!

Congradulations to all the 5 glyph GMs. We all appreciate the work put in to get there, and I am sure all your players also appreciate it.

I think this is a good example of what can go wrong with the new rule. For this one example we are looking at one team that will be playing it at night and fatigued, and the other end they are not fatigued, and in the day. It would be a very different experience.

Still waiting, would love to see the Starfinder one

They still need the minimum table number (for example 3 for Blessings), but if you can get enough people together, it does not have to be at a con.

Alright, another typo possibly. P 70:

HANG IN THERE! [one-action] FEAT 6
ENVOY HEALING
Prerequisites expert in Diplomacy
You encourage yourself or an ally, psyching them up for a
coming challenge and granting them temporary Hit Points.
Select yourself or an ally within 30 feet, then attempt a DC 20
Diplomacy check. If you have master proficiency in Diplomacy,
you can instead attempt a DC 30 Diplomacy check to increase
the temporary Hit Points gained on a successful check by 5.

...Am I missing something? How many temp HP do you get if you choose and make the DC 20 Diplomacy check? I assume you get some and the dc 30 check doesn't give you just 5... ;)

Keep reading, the effects are on the next page and are dependent on success.

I am also expecting it to crash. It will be midnight here in Australia.

According to the blog 10am EST Thursday 1 August

Bummer, the Starfinder 2 panel is not live streamed

Poppets are now free to play, no need to spend AcP. Have a look at this week's Organised Play Blog for confirmation

Interesting that there is playtest support after the playtest is finished. Hopefully we may understand exactly what that means at Gencon. Bring on August

And the PDF will be free

Bump for visibility.

Was it ever revealed anywhere what the results of the first scenario were, with regards to the choice at the end?

In the sequel, Yesteryear's Sorrow, it is stated that the Starfinder Society decided to not reveal the truth to either party.

Just bumping this to see if we get more visibility. I love some of the older Quests, there are some absolute gems amongst them. And I cannot see a lot of difference between them and Bounties, which are infinitely repeatable.

It also reduces one level of complexity with what is and isn't repeatable.

Hello I would like an option for leshy to be medium sized.

Thank you

Is a different medium sized plant also acceptable? If it doesn't have to be a leshy, maybe you could appeal for the ghorans to get a 2e write up? They're from Nex iirc and pretty neat as far as plant folk go

Already done. They were in Impossible Lands

I can live with feet and inches, but the conversion I would most like is temperature as it is a weird non-linear conversion.

SFS experience is a level for every 3xp played so the +1 refers to that calculation. You would need 12 normal scenarios to get to 5th level.

From the Guide to Organised play for Starfinder: Levelling Up
Each time you play an adventure, your character will receive experience points (XP). Typically, you gain 1 XP for completing a Starfinder Society scenario or 3 XP for completing an Adventure Path. Characters advance 1 level for every 3 XP they earn.

I would also advocate for this. There are some absolute gems amongst the early bounties, it would be fantastic to be able to put them on the schedule again.

A lot of APs are sanctioned for Org Play, with the sanctioning documents found on the product pages of the AP. However, Agents of Edgewatch was not sanctioned, along with Blood Lords.

Bounties in PF2 reward Rep. Bounties in Starfinder do not.

I have mine...looks like Australia shipping is happening

I just noticed that Kingmaker is listed as packing on Aetherworks Facebook update today. So good news for us Aussies.

Under Contact us, there is an email specifically for liecencing. I know there were questions asked about stls when Starfinder/Pathfinder Infinate was announced, but not sure they were ever answered publicly.

Is there any timing for shipping to Non-US?

May I ask if you've received your PDFs?

I received them today, but I prefer to read the paper versions :)

It is nice to see the US starting to get their notices. Is there any timing for the outsourced shipping (I am in Australia)?
