So want.
alien racesThis is the element I am most excited about. Please go nuts here. I know some circles complain about the "Cantina Effect" from 3.5's player races, but some of us actually rather enjoyed it sometimes. And Tolkien purism doesn't have any place in space. :)
And this book comes out BEFORE Advanced Races. So, any cool races they introduce in this book should be included and expanded upon in the Advance Race Guide. That makes me a happy panda.

I just want to see the stats for those atractive psychic lizard riding woman from Castrovel.
I wonder if there are some kind of "Space dragons" or new species of dragons only found on one these planets or moons.
Since this is mostly a setting book rather than a How to Adventure in Space book (which would be more of an RPG line product), the rules on traveling and adventuring in the vacuum of space are rather light.
This is a good thing. Easier to add Spelljammer.

*Channels his inner Rainbow Dash* Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh! Yet another "have to have" book from Paizo.
Burroughs and Brackett-style planetary romance, here we come!
It's not that they don't exist (Numeria is basically one big crash site full of interstellar wrecks), but it seems that those are from really far away, and that whatever lives on the planets in Golarion's solar system hasn't done spaceships.
Unless the derro in the Darklands have been hiding a few, as was stated in Classic Horrors Revisited. Hey, how can you do spaceships and not have Little Green Maniacs -- sorry, I meant to say "Men" in them?
Oh my sweet nasty soul! Another book I'll have to buy even knowing I'll never run and most likely never play in. The cool-ness is just too great to resist.
Of course, with all of my comments, it should be noted that the book hasn't been developed yet. Erik could still nuke it from orbit. :D
He does that and I'll nuke White Castle from orbit. HQ is just down the road. Ma worked there for 10+ years. I will send in Vatican Assassins if deem necessary.
Mona must not tempt fate. This book must come to pass. ;-)
In ur campaign settin. Convertin ur wurld into Spelljammr crystal sfere.
You are too evil, David. :P
BTW, you do know who this is from Facebook.
I've never met you in my life! ;-)
BTW: I've crossposted this over at The Piazza's industry news section, as they have a ton-o-fans of SJ that will probably be interested. (Maybe someone from Paizo could come over and post news of other Pathfinder stuff.)
Golarion's moon definitely gets covered
What with?
Golarion's moon definitely gets covered. Also the sun.Whalers on the moon?
Carrying a harpoon?
Golarion's moon definitely gets covered. Also the sun.Best place for a high level game ever! The SUN!
+5 :)

Just got back from 2 weeks vacation IN THE MIDDLE OF NO-WHERE WITH NO wi-fi!! COOL, I can certainly put my Sailing Ships In Space campaign idea on hold - thanx Paizo!!!
I'm hoping for travel distances and times, space dragons, giant hamsters, space hippos, srco etc etc :D
I hope paizo put a Nibiru type celestial body in there somewhere, then i can TOTALLY wipe out ALL life on Golarion and start again LOL
*Channels his inner Rainbow Dash* Ohmigoshohmigoshohmigoshohmigosh!
Are you suggesting that the Diaspora is the result of a sonic rainboom? ;)
OK James the 8000000 GP question,
The information about "the primeval Green Planet of Castrovel" so far released states that Castrovel has a lot of PSI on it. Will we be seeing some rules for PSI in there?
Unfortunately, this is only a 64-page book covering an entire solar system, so there's no room to give rules for psionics. (Also, if we do a psionics supplement, it'll undoubtedly be robust enough to warrant its own book in the Pathfinder RPG line.) Of the crunch that appears in here, most is new items and monsters, though I'll admit that I did include some rules for common issues encountered in interplanetary adventures. (Whether or not the design team like my take on zero-g, however, has yet to be seen.)
That said, there's definitely psionics on Castrovel, and we continue to allude to that fact!

Info on the sun... is anyone else hoping it is sentient? "Burn with me!" :D
How varied is the climate on each of these planets? I mean, it makes sense that they wouldn't have Golarion's full diversity, but are we going to have the Star Warsian conceit that one planet is a massive desert, one planet is a massive swamp, one is a massive artic field, one is a massive forest...
...one is a near-perfect replica of Al Capone's Chicago... Wait, that's Star Trek.

The Great Beyond has details on Stars, namely that they are open portals to the Positive Energy Plane

I personally am hoping for a sequel product: Horrors of the Dark Tapestry.
You and me both! But that's Jacobs' playground...

The answer is that most planets have an extreme range of climates and ecology--I agree with you that it feels a little goofy to paint an entire planet (or even nation) in a single brushstroke. That said, this book is relatively small for the amount of material we're trying to cover, and thus I was constantly fighting the battle of trying to boil each location down to its essence. (I had a hard enough time feeling like I adequately detailed Kaer Maga in City of Strangers, and that was one city.) So when reading this book, please keep in mind that, even if I only mention a few locations or major races for a world, each planet is intended to be just as detailed and diverse a setting as Golarion itself--feel free to sketch in your own details where I've left blanks. :)

It can't be too hard to convince that T-Rex to do more Dark Tapestry stuff, surely...I personally am hoping for a sequel product: Horrors of the Dark Tapestry.You and me both! But that's Jacobs' playground...
Check out part four of Carrion Crown, "Wake of the Watcher." I wrote about half of that volume about that kind of stuff.
Unlikely—but we'll see!This needs to be more than the standard 64 page format please.Will this be like the original 64 page Golarion setting book, in that if it is well received there will eventually be a larger version, and if that is well received eventually a hardback?
You guys need to do a planetary Romance AP. OK OK too risky. Give us THREE MODULES. No SIX modules. Three on Akiton and three on castrovel.
DO IT...
I would love to to see a bigger hardcover version for this too but if does happen it would a some years from now. Besides they need to have hardcovers for the other continents of Golarion before we go into outerspace. With that being said I can't wait for this book even if the planets/moons I most interested only get a couple of pages that is still more they have so far.

I would rather see a hardcover of the Orient analog that is for sure, but a hardcover of the planets is serving a different Niche altogether. I think the Planets guide could be developed completely separately from anything going on in Golarion.
I think there should be a book like the inner sea primer for the other planets.
Cannot wait for this. Also cannot stop fantasizing about a Planet Stories RPG.
Any hints as to what monsters/races are in there?
So want.
alien racesThis is the element I am most excited about. Please go nuts here. I know some circles complain about the "Cantina Effect" from 3.5's player races, but some of us actually rather enjoyed it sometimes. And Tolkien purism doesn't have any place in space. :)

Unfortunately, the Rules Crunch team and the Golarion team are fairly separate, last I heard.
Add my vote for a Horrors of the Dark Tapestry book. How I will buying this book is somewhat of a question in my mind as is how I will end up using it, but whether or not to buy it is not a question. I love my SpellJammer too much for me not to get this.
Due in February? Oh, I hope I get it by my birthday.
How did I just notice this?
City of Strangers is one of the best RPG fluff books I've read in the last ten years. It was to small; with very little art compared to other Paizo products. Conservatively it should have had 40 more pages even without a single illustration. Sutter is a genius, let him romp!
So without fanboy gushing; PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let this book get more page space! It'd be a travesty not to. We are going to have to wait years for more on this topic.
We NEED 96 pages!
I hope this is possible, I'll pay more I promise.
Thank you; this concludes the mad rantings of a desperate junkie.
I hope that all the major worlds get some stats for there primary races and some creaturs from each of then as well. Well of course I don't think there would be room for that much in the book though.

If there is not enough space within the book, I think those would make excellent ideas for blog features. :D (hint, hint)
Any word as to whether the world to world travel will be through on planet dimensional portals (similar to one mentioned in Heart of the Jungle...), by something similar to spaceships, something different entirely, or some combination of these?
Note: Sorry for a repeat question if this has been previously stated and I missed it...
THREE MORE MONTHS! Uggh!
Last night I was thinking of a satellite like monster from the dark tapestry watching over galorian.

All of the above! :D
I wonder how many of the planets that Golarion has portals too.

Due to come out just before the new John Carter movie too - someone at Paizo has their marketing head on! Well done - looking forward to this one!

Not a huge fan of Spelljammer, but Horrors of the Dark Tapestry is just too good a title to pass up!
