Your confused??

"To be clear, somebody at paizocon confirmed that there 100% isn't going to be SF 2e in three years, I don't think it means we will get edition in four years, just that its not in the plans currently"
Me, LOL
"Where was this specifically? I was looking at (and there live) all the Paizocon panels and every discord post and did not see that, or is this info from something else?"
Then you again
"Not sure particularly, I think it was Thurston but I don't remember perfectly where so I could be wrong"
For me Eric Mona a few months back mentioned specifically something like I have heard a LOT of starfinder players who want the 3 action economy in Pf II to come to Starfinder, and you know I LOVE to give gamers what they want!! BUT nothing official as of yet.
Don't you find it pretty strange that something like that was said and it won't show up according to?? for 4+ years??
I do. but this is'nt getting us anywhere so I guess will will agree to disagree and see what happens.
Happy Starfindering

I recall a recent interview with John Compton, I believe, where in response to a question about 2E he offered up, in an extremely speculative and noncommittal way, something to the effect of "Sure, I can imagine there being a conversation about Starfinder 2E in three years."
Personally, if I found out that SF 2E was definitely coming in 3 years I'd just be relieved to be secure in the knowledge that SF 1E would still be going until then.

Will this come in PDF form?
Yes, on release day.
Need nooooooooooow. :)

Wow. Will this book based on the upcoming Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster? Will it be based on the ORC License? Please say yes, because while Starfinder RPG is good, its rules are quite old and I have really anticipated the upgrade of rules so much.
Will this book based on the upcoming Pathfinder Second Edition Remaster?
No.
Will it be based on the ORC License?
Maybe but it will still require the 3.5e OGL license to be posted as the ruleset is based on that shared content.
Please read the 4 pages of posts about these topics and more before commenting.
Also if you consider six years "old" -- you realize Pf2e is four years old right? Already 66% of the way there.
(And before you argue that you're basing your definition of old on the 3.5e SRD that SF is based on....Pathfinder 2e shares so much DNA with D&D 4e it's almost 4.5)
I believe all the releases we already know about -- everything up through The Scoured Stars and possibly Mechageddon -- was written under the OGL. My guesstimate is that we'll see a switch to the ORC sometime late next year.
The same place Pathfinder Unchained was when 2E was announced.
In fairness, Pathfinder Unchained actually came out before PF2E was announced. Quite a bit before.
I'll be getting it regardless as there are a lot of cool things in there. And if I wanna run the 2 Hardcover AP books next year kind of a must have in my opinion.
Plus the new ship combat could be HUGE
Tom
Gah, still two months away.
Yep, I hear ya this should help a lot to see how all the newest SF I stuff works and help with the playtest for SF II as to what worked in SF I Enhanced. That we would also want in SF II or at least bring it up in the playtest next year or the The Field Test drops for potential new class mechanics they are thinking of.

It's sad looking back at this. Enhanced seemed like such a glimmer of hope, like Paizo was fixing Starfinder and breathing new life into it, without needing to jump editions.

I offer a more optimistic perspective. We are doing both. This book will empower Starfinder First Edition play for years to come. More feats, tuned-up classes, fresh starship combat narrative rules, and new chances to spend Resolve Points will breathe new life into the abundance of adventures we've written. Plus, Scoured Stars and Mechaggedon will be epic extravaganzas. The rulebooks will stay in print for as long as there is demand. In my opinion, it is the proper way to transfer from one edition to another. Starfinder Second Edition will then begin to blossom in mid-2025. Some will convert quickly because they crave the new rules. Others will change gradually or not at all. Every game evolves and I like the way this team has decided to do it.

There's definitely a chance I'll change my tune once it's actually in my hands, but I'm still very much excited for this book if it offers a similar amount of builds as COM did (and multiple devs have said it's a lot like COM). From what little actual class options we've heard this far, some of the player options are going to be nutty (in a good way).
My personal hope is some especially good evolutionist options since this will likely be the only expansion the class gets (I've heard two things so far, a divine niche and a high level adaptation that gives certain weapon properties to adaptive strike). Even then I personally still love the class as is, just a little bummed that it didn't get a chance to get explored.

Aaron, I was thinking to myself, "Aaron Shanks, Director of Marketing... of course he'd say that."
Then I parsed it a little differently.
Aaron Shanks, Director of Marketing.
You've been a highly visible voice of honesty and reason here for a while now so I wanted to let you know that while I normally believe marketing is an evil, evil undertaking not unlike electro-shock therapy, your integrity is so consistent and conspicuous and you're such a genuinely invested and helpful guy that... well... maybe you're just a sleeper agent in the ranks of Hell, making changes from the inside.
Just wanted to take a compliment you on being such a stand-up guy.
When I have respect for the dude whose job is - at least in part - to convince me to buy stuff I don't otherwise want to buy, well, that says something.

Maybe a strange question, but I haven't been able to find the exact answer: will this book actually replace the Core Rulebook with its new rules and enhancements? Like, actually at the table. Will my group be able to play using this and an adventure path module?
No, this book is not a replacement for the CRB. It's more like the Character Operations Manual with many player options.
My Starfinder groups are VERY exited to get this book, me as well!!

I am planning to back to my Against the Aeon Throne Roll20 Campaign using details the Zed space station details in Ports of Call and this book!
Very nice Aaron, let us know how it goes when you get it started up again bud!!
As long as your "here", ANY hope for Roll20 having the Expand book next month, Scoured Stars AP, and finally as SF I wrapes up with ye old Mechagedon?
Also will they be doing the playtest as well next year??
Thanks

I have not heard that Roll20 will have those products, but we will see.
Ya, I figured, can't get em to even reply to basic stuff, ala the remaster as in new character sheet, support and all that. Let alone Starfinder stuff, so frustrating I tell ya!!
I would assume that SF II wil be easier to have as it now has the PF II system , but its Roll20 so who knows..... Sadly
Did ya restart your game yet?

343 megabytes for 197 pages. The Devastation Ark compression bug has returned, dethroning Starstone Blockade as the second largest SF book by overall PDF size on release. Coming in 4th is Pact Worlds at 235mb for 220 pages. Waking the Worldseed still in 1st at 347mb.
Per page, Starstone Blockade, Waking the Worldseed, and Whispers of the Eclipse (Horizons of the Vast #3) are still undefeated.
(Looking at my digital library, it looks like Waking the Worldseed and Starstone Blockade got fixed...but Whispers of the Eclipse is actually 35mb bigger than it used to be. Wack.)

Crazy.
I deleted my Threefold Conspiracy books from my hard drive b/c they were so massive.
Weird how this doesn't happen with the longer Pathfinder AP volumes... ;-)
Been a helluva run. I remember picking up the CRB, AA, PW, and AR when our flgs folded. Gonna be bittersweet endcapping 1st ed, but it'll be a good excuse to get the band back together.
Definitely looking forward to the Enhanced content, and my Pathfinder favs (Kitsune & Samsaran) finally making it into the books.
Cheers, mates. And good gaming.

God DAMN the rizz on page 27's illustration, am I right?
Anyone else notice that the two-page spread map is crooked on the pdf?
What map?
