Watch for it. We're currently taking a homerun setting that had two eras and making a third era appropriate for Starfinder. There's a lot of "what happened to who" questions we're working on answers for and polish work to do. Also, we're finally more than one guy fighting with character sheets, world details and resisting the urge to just run in golarion because it's awesome.
Small teaser:
In The Year of Freedom 3410, one of the two remaining nations on Krenna launched their first ship capable of traveling between the stars. It drew the attention of an ancient enemy hiding in their own star system. It drew the attention of races and federations from other systems. Many eager to see what this new member of the galactic playing field would bring. It even drew attention of the remaining gods of that world, for they new now that the mortal races of that world were nearing immortality and godhood. Unlike themselves, these people, who they'd shepherded and protected, were making it there the hard way.
Now the year is 3418 more ships from Krenna have left the system. They've started colonies on their sister-star's worlds. They've meet races, traded, started and joined wars.
What ship are you on?
Three Races of Jur'ruzuk (Dark Folk)
Hur'zuk
Rulzulkur
and the rulers Jur'zal
The creatures people of Krenna called Dark Folk for so long, and thought had been defeated when the last of the strange underground portals was closed, turned out to be part of the reason the scaled races fell so long ago. Krenna's climb to the stars woke them again, for their world was still hidden in Krenna's solar system.
This is not dead, but slow moving. Here's a minor update.
Some of the dates have been adjusted, but not in any way that would undo what little I've posted. The locations with the most focus are starting to develop into something detailed enough that you can feel real setting, but flexible enough for GMs to go where they wish.
Also, the star system itself is intentionally not as hyper developed as some other settings that have already appeared. This is intentional, it is a setting with some room for very open sandbox in some areas, and still have areas that are foundations for "themepark" games as well.
The first book for this setting, which is much like it's version of the inner sea primer, has a completed first draft. Without art it's 5300 words and 8 pages. It hasn't even been run by a copy-editor yet. Some of the people I've talked to about art have provided sketches of race entries, however I'm still waiting on drafts of other art needed.
How many would be interested in a very very advanced reader copy that would raise funds for art and publication?
So the last year was a mess, but this project did not die. A local playtest happened during the year and is still going. Due to it the initial campaign setting book is getting a revision. My project partner who was working on art is actually going through some issues with his vision. With luck the new doctor will find the problem and restore enough for him to draw again.
In the mean time I've decided to do an artless initial release of the campaign setting primer. I haven't actually decided how to distribute this or if it'll even will even cost anything. Hints of it are posted in the ongoing obsidian portal campagin.
