Blast off into Starfinder Second Edition with a star chart of the galaxy and a thrilling tour of adventuring locations across the vastness of interstellar space! The Starfinder Galaxy Guide is a 176-page primer designed for new and experienced players that explores popular types of science fantasy campaigns—galactic exploration, horror, war-torn space opera, and more—giving GMs and players tools for playing out those types of stories in their Starfinder game. The Galaxy Guide also introduces several powerful galactic factions as potential friends or foes, including AbadarCorp’s holy corporate empire, the infernal orders of the Hellknights, and the world-preserving Xenowardens. Each major faction includes a new archetype players can use to create a character with ties to that faction. The galactic tour ends with a database of playable alien ancestries including a telepathic mega-brain with an atrophied body (contemplative), a friendly shapeshifter with a secretly bizarre true form (astrazoan), and more!

The Starfinder Galaxy Guide includes:

  • A double-sided map featuring the Starfinder galaxy and the Pact Worlds system.
  • Six new playable alien ancestries: astrazoan, contemplative, dragonkin, kalo, sarcesian, and vlaka.
  • Six new archetypes related to powerful galactic factions.
  • Exciting new lore introducing new gods, current events, and important hotspots in the Starfinder setting!

This deluxe special edition is bound in faux leather with metallic deboss cover elements and a bound-in ribbon bookmark.

Is there a way to upgrade a subscription to get the "Special Edition" versions?

That's not fair, how did Paizo know that making the cover match my dice trays would tempt me?

Any chance of a Starfinder special edition subscription getting started with this?

Seconding everyone asking about a Starfinder Special Edition subscription! Any news?


Pathfinder Adventure Path, LO Special Edition, PF Special Edition, Starfinder Adventure Path Subscriber

Also wondering if we can get special edition subscription option or a clear way to upgrade the upcoming release until there is a subscription option?


Pathfinder PF Special Edition, Starfinder Accessories, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Maps, Starfinder Society Subscriber

Also agree on a Starfinder Special Edition Subscription option. Even if not all books would get the special edition treatment, they could still be included. It could just work like an automatic upgrade option for those books that had it.

I am on the PF2e GM subscription and I emailed support and asked the same thing and was told NO! which sucks Would be nice if we could and with the price hikes up to 80$ per core book I am pretty much ending my sub. Since I want the sketch covers for the core books there is no need for me to subscribe now!

It's getting close to April... Any official word on Special Edition sub for Starfinder?


Pathfinder Adventure Path, Lost Omens, Rulebook, Starfinder Adventure Path, Starfinder Roleplaying Game, Starfinder Society Subscriber

I'm still hoping for a special edition subscription as well.

Just cancelled my Starfinder Subscription so that I can manually buy the Collector's Editions.

It feels strange that the best way to support the game is apparently to NOT use the subscription service.

We are now into April... any word one way or the other on a Special Edition subscription before subs kick off?

Hooray! Thank you for the news!

Guess it’s time to send an email about converting my subscription.
