Is anyone else going nuts waiting for Starfinder to hit the streets? I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas morning!
As one of the GenCon GMs, I feel like one of Santa's gnomes! Which is good, because I'm short enough to be one.
Hmm
Santa uses Elves; Gnome toys pose too great a choking hazard. :D

The problem is, while they are called "elves," they don't act, look, or have the abilities of elves.

Hmm
Or late 20th geek-culture tabletop games do elves wrong (because Tolkien), and older mythology more closely related to the even older myths of elves is more correct.
Norse elves and the like would be more recognizable as dwarves.

This is a Science Fantasy Game! Santa uses Neptunians! Poor underfed Neptunians slaves.

Truth. Tolkien's elves are much closer to the Celtic aes sídhe.

Silly people! Can you imagine prissy elves wearing the belled uniform with the pointy hats, working late hours, making toys for children and then shoveling reindeer poop while talking to each and every reindeer in its own tongue? Us gnomes went in under an assumed identity because it made the elves so upset!
Behold the wonders of the gnomish propaganda machine!*
Hmm

* Also responsible for having store Chrstmas advertising start immediately after Halloween! Why? Because we're impatient! And excitable!

I am, too. I preordered and cannot wait to get my grubby mitts on it.
Not going to lie, it's a pretty awesome book.

Silly Voss, Tolkien's books are the one true fantasy and everything preceding him is a blatant travesty, nay, a plethora of blatant travesties.

Yeah. Mine was one of the really early orders, sent super-fast mail.
I have a dreadful feeling it's been held up in customs. I had that happen once before with a GenCon month and it didn't get sorted out until after I received that year's September shipment.
I was really careful with the dollar value this time around, so it's under our $ limit and shouldn't have been held. I just have this sinking feeling it's going to take a few weeks to explain to customs that I don't owe anything. :(

While dwarves are a type of elf in the Norse myths, Ive always seen the alfar depicted a bit more like the Aos Si.

Yes, yes, all of the yes. I keep checking my emails waiting for my shipping confirmation, hoping it comes soon.

I want to write content for Starfinder, so yes. I'm going a bit (more) nuts waiting for it to come out.
What drives me really nuts is that people all around are already having their copies while I still have to wait for another friggin week

After seeing all these people get their books early by ordering from paizo I feel like I'm dying waiting to pick up the book from my local game store. The 17th can't come soon enough.

All "one order pending" and no Starfinder makes Captain Yesterday go something, something.
