A new archetype for the soulknife has been posted: Armored.
As well as a new blade skill: Mental Power
A new Beta version of the Aegis class has been posted for playtesting.
Big thanks to the psionics community for all the feedback on this guy. Seems like he's one of the more popular of the new classes. :)
I've posted a rough draft of a new prestige class - a soulknife / aegis theurge. :) It's in the private playtesting forum for preorder customers.
Is there any way to get into those forums if you pre-ordered on Paizo?
Send me a copy of your order email (remove any credit card information for security reasons) along with your username on the Dreamscarred Press site. :)
Have him drop me a line and I'm sure we can figure some way out to verify his purchase.

Quick question about the Marksman. Sorry I couldn't figure out where to ask on the Dreamscarred forums.
My hubby is making a Marksman and had a question about the WPs. What does the 'thrown martial' category include? He reviewed everything in the other categories and concluded that all it added was trident.
If you could clarify that for us, we'd appreciate it.
Thanks.

Maybe I'm not understanding the question.
Martial Weapons that can be thrown include:
Throwing Axe, Light Hammer, Starknife, Trident
The Thrown Favored Weapon Group of the Marksman lists all 4 of those as weapons in the group.
The weapon groups for Favored Weapon were primarily made from the weapons in the Core Rulebook. I believe some of the APG's weapons were also added, but there aren't any thrown martial weapons from the APG.

OK, I think I see where the confusion on our end crept in. Hubby was just looking at [and referring to] the WP groups listed as class features. I'll point out the favored weapon info as what he should have been looking at to see what weapons the class can use.

Let me clarify (or further muddy the waters...)... because now I think I understand your question.
Weapon Proficiencies allows "all simple weapons, all light, projectile, and thrown martial weapons, light armor, and with bucklers. "
So, there are 4 martial thrown weapons - Throwing Axe, Light Hammer, Starknife, Trident.
Of those, 3 are technically also light, so there's overlap...
But let's say Ultimate Combat adds 2 new Thrown Martial weapons - he's also proficient in those. That's why we went with that declaration, rather than saying "all light martial weapons, all ranged martial weapons, and trident" - it allows it to automatically grow as new weapons are added.

That should answer his question. Thanks.
A few new playtest documents have been posted up as I try to get Psionics Expanded: Unlimited Possibilities ready for release:
Erudite Beta
Constructor Beta
Gifted Blade Beta 2
Alternate Racial Traits - Blues
This third release is looking to be over 30 pages of material - larger than either Find the Mark or Mind Over Body.
Artwork is under way - hopefully, I'll have that in this week.
Can't wait!
C'mon Aegis...
Progress on Alternate Racial Traits...
Sounds like this is going to be a really interesting product - very interested to checkit out when it is released!
Thanks, Marc!
I'm doing my best to get the book out by the end of the year... We'll see if I can hit that deadline given a new baby and a demanding day job. ;)

Sounds good. Believe me, I certainly understand how real life can impact deadlines!
Good luck!!!!
All you elan fans... you get the most options for your alternate racial traits...
Crystal Spaulders - a must-have for any aegis - have been posted for playtesting here
At this point, I think everything that's going to be in Psionics Expanded: Unlimited Possibilities (the Aegis release) has been posted for playtesting - either publicly or privately. Unless some new idea springs up, that is...
Now to just take in all the playtesting feedback and get the layout going!
Can't wait!
Although some of the material in it is still in playtesting (the Aegis and Gifted Blade in particular), I've started formatting and layout of Unlimited Possibilities.
It's about 50% larger than either Find the Mark or Mind Over Body... Gigantic!
Going to have to get more graphics for that many pages!
I've posted up a power list for the Gifted Blade and am looking for feedback on it. This was done due to concern during the playtest that the Gifted Blade having complete access to the Psychic Warrior power list was too good.
Also - still waiting on around 5-6 more graphics... and already at 42 pages for the PDF... And still have to do some additional descriptive text!
It's almost like 2 releases in one!
And this release will mark the first point at which buying the entire subscription / preorder is a better value than buying individually, just FYI ;)
It's already been worth the cash. This just makes it better!
The third release of Psionics Expanded should be out this month.
You can take a look at the cover here.
That cover is awesome! Take that synthesist summoner!
Ok, quick question: will there be a psionic rogue/sneaky type variant like the Lurk failed to be, and, if so, when will it be released?
Inquiring minds (my husband's in particular) want to know.

That's set to be the 6th and final of the serialized releases.
Body, Ranged, Creation (Aegis, etc), Melee, Tactics, Stealth.
Most likely in that order, since Unlimited Possibilities should be out this month and the Exemplar / Melee release is the next closest to complete, with the Tactician release not too far behind. That last release still has quite a bit of development to go - virtually none of it has been posted yet for playtesting.

Though my hubby isn't going to be happy about the time-frame.
Still, take all the time you need to get it right.
Yeah... this project is already closing in on a year's worth of work, and we're only about halfway done... Although thankfully, the second half shouldn't take another year, since releases 4 and 5 are about 80% complete.
We'd like to have it ready by Christmas... but we'll see. The new stealth base class is taking a while to develop, because we want to make sure it isn't a base class just for the sake of having a base class.
That being said, a preview of Unlimited Possibilities has been posted in the private playtesting forums for preorder customers! Check it out
I've got to say, posting private previews is an amazing way to get extra proofreading / playtesting in. In 24 hours, a bunch of little nitpicks came up that have since been fixed.
Playtesting on Unlimited Possibilities is technically still under way, and we're still accepting feedback if you have any! But I'd expect by next week, it will be released.
I read that thread :P
There's a ton of people who want to help make this a success!

Indeed.
If we were a bigger outfit, I'd just hire them on as freelance assistant developers... Maybe someday. If PsiEx and From the Deep do well, maybe sooner rather than later. :)

The third release of Psionics Expanded should be out this month.
You can take a look at the cover here.
*Looks at Cover*
OK, an Aegis, decked out... wait
*notices body outline under/inside the suit*
Bwahahahahaah! A Blue Aegis? That's perfect! LOVE it. Paizo-esque take on the bigheaded little freaks, only this time SMRT smart. :)
I admit I am not closlely following the dreamscarred releases (though that may change as there may be as many as 3 psionic characters in my upcomming campaign) but did I read correctly that there is going to be a stealth based psionic base class?
Yep.
They're still in the "working behind the scenes" part of the base calss, but it sounds like it will be up for review soon, after the next couple sections of the book are finished.
Cross-posted from the Dreamscarred forums:
I've unfortunately not made much headway on finishing up Unlimited Possibilities...
Honestly, not much remains - final tweaks to the Gifted Blade / Metaforge / Aegis are about it... But my day job has been consuming extensive time the past week due to deadlines (all sorts of fun Friday night / over the weekend), and with the baby now 3 months and very active, it's been tricky to find spare time to get it polished off.
I'm still thinking this week is a possibility to get it released, given how much is already done, but just a heads up as to why I haven't posted much.
I just posted up a third and final preview of Unlimited Possibilities up for preorder customers at the Dreamscarred Press forums.
Giving time for final critiques before I fix up all the layout problems and get this published. :)
With a tweak tweak here, and a tweak tweak there, here a tweak, there a tweak, everywhere a tweak tweak.
Still going through the playtest feedback, but should be releasing Unlimited Possibilities in the next couple days!
Psionics Expanded: Unlimited Possibilities will be released tomorrow (Monday).
Next on the release list is Psionics Expanded: Master the Battle, which currently includes:
The Exemplar base class
Several new archetypes for the Soulknife: Armored, Shielded, Imbued
New Paths for the Psychic Warrior: Dervish, Interceptor
New melee prestige classes
Crystal Hilts and Spaulders for the Soulknife and Aegis
A revised Beta of the Exemplar Base Class has been posted up for playtesting!
With Unlimited Possibilities out, work starts in full force on the Melee, Tactics, and Stealth releases.
