Is a product like Gamemastery for Pathfinder going to be available?

I believe a series of flip mats is in the works, as well as a condition card deck.

There is a definite lack of sci fi gamme maps etc I the world

If you're talking about the types of accessories that used to be in our GameMastery line, in addition to the things coldbringer mentioned, we also have Starfinder Pawns and a Combat Pad coming. You can see a list of these accessories here.

If you're asking whether there will be a Starfinder RPG equivalent of the GameMastery Guide, we have not yet announced one.

I hope that there will be one.


Ooo Cool. I missed the Combat Pad announcement. :)


I'm happy to see a Combat Pad that match the SF theme, even if I could use the one I own already.

This would be a very good idea.

Maybe now that the game has been out there for a while and people have had some time to play it and find the rough spots, this is a good time to start planning one.

What should go into it though?

How about explaining some of the design decisions?

But also ...
* - Downtime Rules?
* - Revamped Starship rules?
* - More in-depth Environmental rules?
* - Some alternate setting ideas?
* - "Unchained" Rules for some of the classes that could use tweeking?
* - Stock NPCs?
Did I miss anyting?

Could be, something like Ultimate Campaign? Building shop, a colony, an empire?

I think they promised more starship roles for the Character Operations Manual already.

Like what? I don't think most of the ones in the CRB get used a lot - what I'd really like to have would be a sort of condition cards for environments, to make them a bit easier to deploy in a game session.

Doesn't seem to be Paizo's style. One game that seems quite suitable for blending with Starfinder though is Stars Without Number. That one has a lot of system-neutral stuff that would work very well in Starfinder.

Counting on the Character Operations Manual for this. This doesn't really belong in a GM-oriented book.

Isn't it straightforward to just derive them from the Alien Archive NPC/Monster creation rules?

Though I would enjoy an NPC/Villain Codex, mostly because they tend to result in extremely useful pawn sets.

You ask for a lot of things that would be good to have, but few of them seem like things that I'd put in a GM focused book.
