Space pirates! Azlanti! And weird aliens! Written by Chris Sims! Color me hyped.

You know, I wonder if I really thought we wouldn't need modules for starfinders as long we have aps. I mean, that is still true, but more and more I'm starting to realize usefulness, even if you get chances to run long campaigns, they make for good intermission games :'D
But yeah, I wonder if all six modules will be at increasing levels of if they will be like "2 ones starting at 1, 4 and 7". Would be fun to have increasing levels just to do same thing 1e modules did which was covering almost full level range xD

I definitely want to see several level thirteen adventures!

Very excited. My regular group moved to Tuesday nights on Roll20, which is great b/c one of our members moved away, and we can still have our game time despite the pandemic.
BUT... when the pandemic ends, I think we'd like to have our Sundays once a month back. I really hope that Paizo keeps up these adventures, as I think these will be easier to digest than an AP and meatier than Society play.
If a player wants to change characters, great, if they want to run the same PC through a set of adventures, great, if a PC dies, fine, I'll toss in a fixer-upper PC and we'll get you a proper one for the next book.
YAY! More of this kind of stuff please!
Would these be Ice Pirates, perchance?
Sidenote, but I guess same benefit that applies on Junker's Delight also applies here? :O
The free PDF with Starfinder AP subscription and pre-order benefit? I hope so because I just pre-ordered both modules!

I believe it is so.

is there ever going to be a hope of some sort of re-shipping arrangement for Subscriptions, to reduce the now killer postage costs? ("Only" to the UK,... but!) I simply can't justify it.
Even for KickStarter support I have to go for options offering POD vouchers, rather than get my beauties posted...

Final back cover text:
"THE EDGE OF SPACE
Scientists, mystics, and corporate interests came together to found Locus-1, a research station and outpost far from the Pact Worlds. Now Sidakana, a ruthless vesk space pirate, has made the Locus system her personal playground, and the innocent people of Locus-1 have turned to the nearest military power—the Azlanti Star Empire—for help. When the cure proves worse than the disease, it’s up to a small group of bold newcomers to save the station and all its inhabitants from death or enslavement!
Designed to give player characters a home base in a remote region filled with adventure, “The Liberation of Locus-1” is the perfect next step for players and GMs who’ve completed Starfinder Adventure: Junker’s Delight. It includes:
• “The Liberation of Locus-1,” a complete adventure for 4th-level characters, leading them to 7th-level.
• All the details on Locus-1, a remote space station orbiting the Locus—a strange cosmic anomaly— as well as other planets in the Locus system, all with mysteries of their own.
• An Adventure Toolbox with new experimental weapons and equipment fueled by the Locus; new playable species who serve in the Azlanti Star Empire’s Alien Cohort; and the predatory mindshroud rays—horrifying symbiotes from the beyond."

We are in the discussion phase and have nothing to announce.

Don't miss "Tales From The Drift: Breaking Ground," flash fiction by Chris S. Sims as a bit of a prequel to "Starfinder Adventure: The Liberation of Locus-1."

I mean, hey Aaron, any more look into subscription options for modules?

Can you confirm that Starfinder AP subscribers are supposed to receive free PDFs if they pre-ordered this adventure? I ask because my order for this month lacks the "Will be in your downloads once shipped" note on this adventure that it has for all of the other orders that are supposed to be accompanied by free PDFs.

I spoke about this with my VP recently. Turns out we have tech issues in the way. I know, right?! This old code prevents so much. But please don't blame the tech dept. So, we want to, but can't yet. So.... we are working on it. Argh.

Happy Friday, everyone!
Just wanted to confirm that Starfinder Adventure Path subscribers who preordered this book will get the PDF automatically when their physical copy ships. Just like we did for Junker's Delight!
Sorry that the confirmation text wasn't included earlier, but as far as I know the PDF arrangement will continue to be the same going forward.

I suppose we just have to be patient and wait. Do you know how hard it is to be patient?

I work in marketing with one hand digitally tied behind my back. I'm familiar. ;)

We expect Roll20 to have this product at launch.
NICE!!!

Any Chance we will get high quality maps? looks like there are a bunch of maps in the book that can be exported but they do not zoom really well for digital presentation.

We have generally increased the resolution of our images to improve online play, but we won't provide PDFs at 300 dpi, aka print quality. We only provide that quality to our VTT partners. There are no separate digital maps packs announced for this adventure.
The problem is a lot of the maps a for large areas and yet are very small on the page. Also I would be happy to pay for these separately if the were on foundry VTT

I would like to state for the record that as someone who has been running paizo games on roll20 for nearly a decade, selling those high resolution maps to customers, even as unformatted pdfs... I would pay for that. It is eminently frustrating having to either make due with blurry maps or remake them in programs like dungeon painter etc.

NOTE that this came out day 1 on Roll20, with the better res maps as well.
Though not a fan of the "water color" style maps just like in Junkers Delight not not as many of them are those thankfully!!
Hav'nt read it all through but so far very nice I have to say!!

VERY good to hear! Thanks
I wonder if there is any news on the next set of standalone adventures.
All the adventure paths tap off at about level13, except - The Devastation Ark.
It is to me a real pity that Starfinder lacks much adventures up to 20th level, kind of like WOTC and5E.
The standalone adventures would be a perfect place to over this lack.

Sounds like a good niche for the Starfinder Infinite program.

I am confused by the premise of this product: isn't every part of the vast equally far from the vast? Or just as equally far from near space and EVERYONE is equally as far from Absalom Station?
If the research station is in the vast, why would they turn to the ASE instead of anyone else that is in the vast, near space or even Absalom Station?

For a system in the Vast, the only places closer than the Vast are within the same solar system, and the only places farther away are places outside the Galaxy (which are unreachable via Drift drive). The return trip to those places would still vary, of course.
The only reasons for turning to the Azlanti Star Empire would be:
1) The Pact Worlds have ignored their pleas for help, thereby negating their one-way travel time advantage, or
2) The Azlanti have made their system accessible via their special Aeon stones.
Any chance we will get a correct Besmara's head map on Roll20? The map scale is 10ft per square. Roll20 has it at 5 ft per square.

Did we ever get vital stats (age, weight, etc.) for gathols or tromlins anywhere?
