When you subscribe to the Starfinder Special Edition Rulebooks line, you'll receive the latest ancestries, feats, classes, monsters, technology, magic items, and more delivered right to your door. These products are at the heart of the Starfinder Roleplaying Game, expanding your options to create memorable experiences with your friends. Starfinder rules are compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game as well, allowing cross-genre adventuring!

Starfinder Special Edition rulebooks are gorgeous hardcover tomes bound in faux leather with unique covers and bound-in ribbon bookmarks that set them apart from the standard hardcover releases. Starfinder releases 3 to 4 Special Edition rulebook products per year as part of this subscription.

Aside from being up to date on the latest rules, as a Starfinder Special Edition Rulebooks subscriber, you'll also receive:

  • A free PDF version of each release that is shipped as part of your Starfinder Special Edition Rulebooks subscription.
  • Your free PDF unlocks discounts through Paizo Connect at participating Paizo licensed partners, such as Demiplane, Hero Lab, Fantasy Grounds, and Roll20.

By starting a Starfinder Special Edition Rulebooks subscription, each release will be automatically bundled with any other Paizo subscription items you're subscribed to that are releasing in the same month. When you start a new subscription, any existing preorders for products covered by that subscription are automatically canceled (or have their quantity reduced by one if you've preordered more than one of an item). If you have more questions about subscriptions, check the Paizo Subscriptions FAQ for more details.

I'm glad that I can pair these with my Pathfinder Special Editions. It also bodes well for Paizo's commitment to the line to make special editions of all the Starfinder books.


Thanks for the upgrade! Question, does the Special Edition PDF release on May 7th with the standard edition PDF? If not, will we have to wait to get the PDF until the Special Edition version is released?

Subscribers get their PDF when their subscription item ships. Both books are releasing at the same time, so subscribers to both lines should be getting their PDFs at the same time. Please let us know though if you have any issues when we do get to release day! We'll do our best to help!


Is this compatible with SF2e? or 1e only?

The subscription starts with Galaxy Guide, which is for Second Edition, and will continue forward with all Second Edition books!

THANKS! SUBBED! I have been told that subscribers occasionally get random goodies included in the box. Is that true?

Yep! It's not guaranteed, by any means, but I have gotten random minis with some shipments, or cards for the ACG. I think they're leftover promo pieces.

And to manage expectations, there have been less "promo pieces" produced in the last couple years, with the decline of big "in-person" events.


I subbed to the Special Edition Subscription on April 9th. I got the emailed receipt and the Special Edition Galaxy Guide is in my side cart, but when I view My Subscriptions, it reports there are no subscriptions for this account. Should I be concerned?

When does the PDF unlock? I got notification that my book has shipped, but still no PDF access.

It doesn't look like you have the subscriber badge, the free PDF is only for subscribers.
