Previous items in Starfinder Subscription - Can we purchase them with the subscriber bonus?


Customer Service


I have the 4 Starfinder subscriptions and apparently did not start the subscriptions in time to receive the initial pawns offering. Is it possible to order this and get the discount and the included PDF?


You’ll get the 15% discount for as long as you remain a superscriber*. However the free PDF is only provided for subscribers at the time of release.

* There’s a slight complication in that every individual Starfinder subscription has to have “triggered” before the Paizo advantage kicks in. That is, you need to have received one item from each product line before the discount starts. Given the bimonthly and staggered release schedule, that might mean the discount will take a month or two before it starts kicking in.


Well I guess I won't be going back to pick up the core pawn box then, thanks for the answer.

Once things settle down a bit, you should be able to trigger Paizo Advantage with the subscription shipment for any given month by starting each subscription with the most recently released item. The only reason that doesn't work now is that in many cases the most recent item has sold out and may not be available again for a while.

Given it's quite early in Starfinder's lifecycle, it may be that they have some wiggle room (I kind of gave the "standard, by-the-book" answer).

I'll flag this post in case Customer Service are able to bend the rules slightly. Sometimes based on the specifics of the situation they have some leeway

Hi Vardeman,

The Starfinder Core Rulebook Pawn Collection was part of the initial set of releases, and the only subscription option for the Accessories subscription line that they are on was to subscription to all 4 of the starting items for the August releases (Character Folio, GM Screen, Pawn Collection, Combat Pad), or with just the September release of the Condition Cards.

Things have rotated too far out have wiggle room for adding anything from the first month as part of a subscription. We sometimes have some wiggle room within about a month or so, depending on the timing of various things. Unfortunately, it's too far out now. Sorry for any inconvenience.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Thanks!
