Thank you so much for sharing the campaign!
For those interested in the book, you can check out our current playtest documents:
Signal Confirmed - includes the psionic races, the aegis class, psionic feats, and the soulknife archetype
Encryption Decoded - includes the specialist psionic class, psionic feats, psionic powers, and manifesting rules
So...not to depreciate your Kickstarter, but does that mean no official Psionics? 3rd party stuff is not society legal and is banned at many tables.
Yeah, 3PP stuff like Dreamscarred's psionics books, aren't legal for society play... but then, no non-Paizo stuff is allowed.
As for homegames banning psionics, Dreamscarred's psionics are tightly balanced, enough so that conventional PFRPG wizards and sorcerers often come out ahead over psions. Psionic powers and manifesting allow you to more precisely control your magic output, while conventional Vancian spellcasters are more fire-&-forget. As long as you understand & follow the rules, psionics definitely aren't broken.
Dreamwalkers and Athanatism stretch goals achieved!
300 backers stretch goal achieved!
Only 6 more backers needed to unlock the Familiar Strangers stretch goal!
Only $1664 away from unlocking even more art!

I include psionics in my home games over the fire&forget spellcasters.

I can't speak to what Paizo might do in the future, but if Pathfinder is any indication, it would be more like Psychic Magic rather than "Psionics."
And since we don't know when that might come out and we prefer the point-based system and there's the Starfinder Compatibility License, we decided to do our own system, just as we did for Pathfinder.
(If anyone is finding my updates obnoxious, PM me and I'll knock it off.)
HA HA! Shadow Walkers stretch goal unlocked! Only 23 more backers needed to unlock the PDF of the Bestiary minis. Will the Psionics Guide Kickstarter hit another stretch goal or backer goal before it ends in 6 days?
I'm sure it will land at least 25k. Last days tend to be crazy.
Specially if they make the last stretch a 5th class or 12th race.
Anyone know what happened to this project? There hasn't been a peep for quite a while.
Powerful necro - had my hopes up for a second that it had started moving again or someone else had decided to start their own initiative.
If I'm not mistaken, Jeremy was afflicted by a crippling depression and stepped away entirely from any Dreamscarred Press activities, which seems to have been the end of the company. He addresses it a bit on the kickstarter page.
