<p></blockquote><p>I think part of the issue is that the AP material isn't invisible. Like, I know that if I want to use things like the native races of one of the pact worlds (elebrians) or the necrografts that are mentioned regularly in regards to anything Eox related I need Dead Suns 3 rather than it just being in a more general book like Pact Worlds.Owen K.

<p></blockquote><p>Thank you for your hard work.
<p>Personally, I have trouble finding money in my budget to buy 6+ $23 adventure modules that I will never run because my players prefer homebrew, but at the same time I feel left out because, man, it would be cool to have those Elebrian player race rules and new equipment, monsters, mystic connections, etc...</p>
<p>Wheras I know I will buy and use hardcovers all the time. </blockquote><p>This is the same boat I'm in. I finally caved and bought the AP with the elebrian stuff, but I've yet to touch any of the others. I'm glad the information on the Drift got reprinted in Pact Worlds, it would have been real annoying to have something so important to the setting in a non-core book.Dracomicron wrote:Owen K. C.

<p>Some of the AP4 drift article (admittedly not much) made it into Pact Worlds, and I think a couple of early AP monsters made it into Alien Archive. I'll be interested to see how many more are reprinted in Alien Archive 2. </p>
<p>All of this would be less urgent if AoN or the pfsrd sites would update their Starfinder content more often. Some other sites like The Hidden Truth have been really good about things like Pact Worlds themes/feats/spells and the AP devastation connection, but they don't cover equipment or monsters.</p>Armory will show whether anything like the Necrografts (AP3) and corrosive guns (AP2) show up.
