Will these be in the 4"x 6" size like the Pathfinder Battle cards or standard sized cards?

Space gnolls outside of society? :O

Hey folks, unfortunately this product has been pushed back to a February release. We appreciate your understanding!

Paizo,
When will you sell booster packs of gear, ships... e.g. each pack contains a rare item and potentially an ultra-rare (foil embossed) item or ship etc. A future Armory could include all the sets gear and more, idk. It's a pipe-dream but that would be so fun to have. YouTubers could do SF pack openings hoping to get that ultra-rare, but that is more typical of a Magic the Gathering esq kind of game. It would be super cool nonetheless; especially to try and collect the whole set. :)

Is that a gnoll I see on that new cover (if you click on it)???

That's what I was eyeing! Did we get stats for them somewhere and I missed it, or does this fall under "Product image and description are not final and may be subject to change"?

Haven't seen gnoll in armor anywhere yet, so maybe its image that was cut from product?


I believe it'll probably one of the "Five new species never before seen in Starfinder." Maybe this will be the product that brings in some more legacy races?

I'll find out what the 5 new playable species are and hype them on email and social media.

If you just list them on this thread or the Product Description you could make some of us less...socially...media...desirous enlightened too!

Page updates have to go though another busy Paizo coworker and I have an annual goal to increase the number of Paizo email subscribers so you will see me incentivize subscription by posting sneak previews in emails first. This is the game. :)

According to the subscriber email, the new races are old PF1 races: kitsune, kobold, samsaran, grippli and gnoll.

Heh. You know, I haven't had the chance to try out Starfinder's new squadron combat system yet, but now I'm thinking I'm going to prioritize that for a one-off. With a party composed of a kitsune, espraksa, grippli, ysoki, and an SRO.

Because reasons.

DO A BARREL ROLL!


I need this now if only because Samsarans basically mean I get Zahaan from Farscape.


So yeah I got this pretty much specifically for samsarans but I have to admit I'm curious what if any criteria went into selecting the established SF races for the deck.

That's a good question for Paizo LIVE, thanks!

For anyone curious, the roster is as follows;

Spoiler:

Exclusives: Gnoll, Grippli, Kitsune, Kobold, Samsaran

Core: Android, Human, Kasatha, Lashunta, Shirren, Vesk, Ysoki

Pact Worlds: Astrazoan, Bantrid, Borai, Khizar, SRO, Strix

AA1: Barathu, Contemplative, Dragonkin, Formian, Space Goblin, Haan, Ikeshti, Kalo, Maraquoi, Nuar, Ryphorian, Sarcesian, Shobhad, Skittermander, Urog, Verthani, Wrikreechee

AA2: Uplifted Bear, Bolida, Embri, Ghoran, Hobgoblin, Osharu, Pahtra, Quorlu, Trox, Vlaka

AA3: Brenneri, Hanakan, Ijtikri, Izalguun, Morlamaw

AA4: Copaxi

So that's 51 total by my count including all 7 core races & all six from Pact Worlds.

Notable by their absence are the Legacy races as well as any race originating in an Adventure Path book.

That latter category strikes me as the biggest omission; if the purpose of this deck is easy access to racial stats, the AP races are the most spread out & kept in primarily DM-aimed books.

Honestly if I were putting this together I wouldn't have included the core races at all - I think it's a fair assumption that everyone is going to have easy access to their racial traits - included all 28 of the AP races(not counting moyishuus which just dropped), and then had three races each from the Alien Archives to round out the other twelve spots.

I got what I was paying for with this which was access to the five exclusive races & specifically samsarans, but if I were buying this for a compiled list of conveniently accessed stats as is the advertised purpose in the blurb here, I think I would have been disappointed.

Of course, one's mileage may vary.

I think I got Kate Baker's copy. Mine had two morlamaws but nothing seems to be missing.

I suppose the line must be drawn somewhere, but I'm quite disappointed that this does not include the adventure path races. This would have been a great way to introduce players to some really cool races that they might not otherwise have ever seen, like the Raxilite or Selamid (playable ooze!) or Vilderaro.

The omission of legacy races also seems odd since they were in the original book just like the core races, and have been referenced quite a bit in Starfinder materials indicating that they are an active part of the Pact Worlds.

Hopefully we'll see something like a 'booster pack' that includes all the legacy races, AP races, and maybe some new races like those Bugbear we all wonder about.
