Ouch.
Can't understand why anyone should put 10$ on top of the full price just to get the PDF, but I guess I'll pay nonetheless...
Anyway, thanks for the info ^^
I subscribed and bought the limited edition so I get the PDF regardless, but I agree. At that price point it should come with the free PDF just for supporting the company and buying direct. Thus the only choice being which version do I want.

I preordered it from my local store. Support your local gaming store.
If you look a little earlier, he got the limited edition book, which isn't available with the subscription; if he wanted the free PDF, he'd have to get both the limited edition book and the regular, which would definitely cost even more than shelling out for the PDF.Ouch.

Yeah, I subbed and then the limited edition was announced, so I’m gifting the ordinary book to a friend.
I'd think you might want to keep your limited edition pristine and have a normal copy for everyday use. Unless you use the PDF for that.
Honestly, though, I understand it can be really hard to justify spending that much for what comes down to three copies of the same book.
During sessions I'll use the pdf on my tablet (I'm the GM), hand the players a b/w print in a looseleaf, and keep the Limited Edition One safe as The Holy Relic ^_^
So no triple buy: sorry Paizo but my commitment HAS some limit LOL

Because I save about 30 dollar by buying it at a FLGS and the pdf seperately. :)

I used to do that. I only subscribed when I no longer had a FLGS.

When you live in the United States and you participate in an English language message board, you can forget that many other participants don't live in your country.
And not living outside of the USA, they have no idea of just how high international shipping costs are, particularly overseas. It's just not something they have to deal with, so they don't think about it.
Just got an email that said Paizo Inc!
Oh it was a twitter email...

This post offers some of the reasons why we only offer free PDFs with subscriber copies. I don't want to derail this thread from the Starfinder Core Rulebook, so if you feel followup discussion is needed, please post in that thread.
The bottom line is that there are good reasons to buy from us. There are good reasons to subscribe from us. There are good reasons to buy from your local shops. And there are good reasons to buy from other internet retailers. The best answer is to do whatever makes the most sense for you.

All good points! I need to pick up the AP subscription again. I'm going to be busy for a while running Strange Aeons but there's always other games going and running by friends.
I like that the subscription has benefits like the free PDF and simultaneously Paizo can measure some regularly revenue from those subscribers. Who doesn't like good, solid financial forecasting while also giving its subscriber fan base perks?
I'm eagerly anticipating that ship notification! Very excited to peruse the PDF until my hard cover arrives!

I got my shipping notice. I downloaded the PDF. I don't think I've ever been this early with something like this before.
I hope it wasn't a mistake.
Anyway, I'm willing to give limited, vague answers to specific questions.
I have questions.
Is there a penalty to firing into melee?
Is there an Improved Precise Shot style feat that allows you to ignore cover?
Is the damage on big guns notably decreased when used by small characters?
Is there a feat that makes you better at grapple?
Does the Envoy get an ability that increases the accuracy of all allies?

Are you willing to self-fund an express flight to Australia and give me your book?

1. Not that I could find. (Creatures still provide cover.)
2. Not that I could find.3. Not that I could find. (Damage doesn't seem to change with size at all.)
4. Yes.
5. They can.
I want to click on the chapter titles on the side of the page to go to that chapter. :-)

Very Soon
I can not express how jealous I am of you at this moment lol. Congrats man.. now back to eagerly watching my inbox to no avail.
Since magic has been merged (arcane/divine/psychic), do the mystic and technomancer have different spell lists, or just different class features other than spellcasting?

They have different spell lists.
1) What sort of abilities does the Bounty Hunter theme grant?
2) What do the Operative Specializations look like? do any of them seem to have a "ninja-like" feel?
3) What can you share about the Soldier's Fighting Styles? are they mostly passive abilities or do they grant things like special attacks and such?
What is the most interesting piece of information you've found so far?
Are there any pieces of equipment with awesome names?
Roughly how many spaceships are there?

How are blindsense and blindsight treated? No need to be too specific, but from what I've gathered, they're generally a catch-all for things such as scent, thoughtsense, etc.
Also, is there a soldier specialization that favors dex-based melee options? Or would that be more the area of operative?
Congrats on the early pdf, so jealous *-*

1) Bounty hunter makes it easier to find and follow your "mark", in a variety of ways.
2) At least two specializations could be interpreted as "ninja-like", depending on what "ninja-like" means to you.
3) I would say some fighting styles grant special attacks.
I am chartreuse with envy right now. Order processed last week but no pdf!

1.) The Equipment chapter is larger than the Magic and Spells chapter.
2.) Yes. :-) [thunderstrike pulse gauntlet, bespoke echelon fashion, jarlslayer, ring of cosmic alignment]
3.) About fifteen example ships; about a dozen base frames to build your own.
I would also like to ask if the mechanic's exocortex option grants extra "active" abilities, like new equipment hacking options, or if it is all passive bonuses, like the proficiencies that it grants, or skill bonuses.

Will Starfinder have an OGL?It is being released under the OGL (the same one that allowed Pathfinder to be published).
There is also. a Starfinder Compatibility License that third party publishers can use to produce OGL content which is compatible with it.
Thanks, I'm halting my TPP project until I see Starfinder and this is very encouraging. It will be more work than using pathfinder, but I think the system will be much more accessible if they only have to purchase my setting book and Starfinder Core Rulebook to play my setting, as opposed to Pathfinder, where I would be expected to find a place for most of the bloat Pathfinder has accumulated.

OH OH ALSO HOW MUCH INFORMATION ON SPACE HELLKNIGHTS ARE THERE
Congrats on the early pdf, so jealous *-*
1.) Yes, they're catch-all terms.
2.) No Dex-based melee options. Speed and movement, yes.
3.) One page.

What are the ability score adjustments for Vesk?
Do Kasatha have any abilty score penalty now?
Oi! How lucky you are, Distant Scholar! Many thanks!
How many vehicles are there? War walkers, hovercars, hoverbikes, and tanks have been implied at one point or another, if I remember accurately, so I imagine two pages at least.
Does the setting section give much description of other stellar civilizations, such as the Azlanti Empire or the Veskarium? How much galactic history is written up, and is there a timeline?
Do spells seem more powerful, less, or about unchanged from their Pathfinder counterparts? (damage output, save defenses, etc)

0.) Yes, I am lucky.
1.) Two pages for vehicles, not counting starships. No tanks.
2.) There is a short visual timeline (only 317 years since the Gap). Systems/empires outside the main system get half a page, including the Veskarium and the Romulan Azlanti Star Empire.
3.) Damaging spells, in general, do more damage. I didn't see any spells that added +N to AC, saves, attack rolls, etc.
How big is the ship to ship combat section? 5 pages, 10, 20?
About 10.
What kind of coverage to other races such as Elves and Dwarves etc.(the old standard races) get?

do we have race based feats? Theme beased feats?
I don't see any. One feat does require 4 or more arms, though.
