So it looks like PDFs for Player Core won't be available until the 31st, so that nobody spoils the release for anyone else. Bummer, but 2 weeks isn't that long of a wait. But hey, my credit card was charged yesterday, so maybe I might get my book before that? Who can say?
Anyway, what vague character concepts are y'all hoping to realize? I've got an idea for a vlaka borai operative who "survived" getting their face torn off, and now stalks from the shadows like a skull-faced movie monster. If I'm especially lucky, operatives will get better melee support than the playtest initially provided, and maybe a few built-in intimidation goodies so I can make my duder extra scary. If not, oh well, I'll make it work somehow: maybe dump stealth and make them an armor storm soldier or degredant solarian instead...

I'm kind of getting Diablo 4 mephisto vibes.
There are a TON of concepts I want to play, it's so hard to narrow down.
I might want to play a human priest of triune and do some sort of techpriest engineseer type character.

A skeleton solarion who contracted himself to Eox working in a cubicle farm for the last 200 years, and now just wants to feel the sun on his bones.

A skeleton [...] now just wants to feel the sun on his bones.
Skeletons will only do this when in distress. It's not normal, healthy behavior.

Yeah, 200 years in a cubicle farm taking customer service calls from Eoxian rich and bonelords who are certain they were hacked because they got an email, or forgot their password, and then tell him to get a real job... yeah, there's some distress. He was an Castrovellan Elf who sold himself into Undeath to avoid dying at 40 from cancer (rather embarassing for an Elf). He now goes by Sunny.

Just got my first SFS session set up. Launching the weekend after GenCon so that I have a week to prep. I made a little poster to hang up at my FLGS and everything!

Just got my shipping notice for Era of the Eclipse, I'm actually more excited about that than the Player Core, we know what will be in the Player Core, just not the final details, and I have to wait until the PDF is available. Era of the Eclipse might be as close as we get to learning anything about The Gap. My wild speculation is this book will help set up the lore connecting the Pathfinder and Starfinder timelines, even if they are still separated by the Gap. If nothing else, it might be a great source for in-character conspiracy theories.

My favorite silly concept is a Witchwarper android who is obsessed with Pinball. They've body modified their android parts to have a functioning pinball machine in their chest. Their Witchwarper quantum field is a field of bumpers and flippers that makes difficult terrain. They line up their shot with Measure and Ricochet as cantrips.
So they're a pinball wizard? There has to be a twist!
14 days remain and... I'm pouting. I've seen some Battlecry! stuff, but so far, no Starfinder.
The Gaming Gang put out a First Look video of the book yesterday. Although some people have accused them of breaking embargo they claim they went over Pazio's email and other materials with a fine toothed comb and found no mention of one.
Question: is it the player core or the gm core that will have the rules for implementing pathfinder classes in starfinder. A fair number seem like they would fit the sci-fi setting of starfinder.

It's a section in the GM Core that will have that advice.

I won't be at GenCon, but I will be running 1-00 online a week or so afterwards. And maybe that or something else for my FLGS and/or home group later in the month, so that more folks can claim those PFS2 skittermander adoption papers.

Nine days remeaining until the launch... no nine... no the number nine... 7,8,9,10: 9.
Sorry, some ASE goon thought I was telling him no.
Not to be a buzzkill, but...
LET'S GET HYPED! IT'S ALMOST HERE!!

Shipping estimates say I should be getting my copy via Friday, which gives me two weeks to learn the basics of each class before I start teaching them to people. Other books are already out in the wild. First impressions are... about what you'd expect given the game's development constraints.
I read the bonus ancestry included in Murder in Metal City, and caught two whole instances of 1e jargon slipping past the editors. Despite that, it was a delightful addition to the roster, with enough material to make it silly, creepy, cool, mystical, or just plain chill depending on which feats and heritage you choose.

When you start playing it, please let me know how it goes! Murder mystery in a box is right up my alley.

If there's two whole sections of 1e jargon being used in the same 2e ancestry, then I truly know in my heart that this is a Paizo game. If they somehow managed to go a whole product without printing something that Literally Doesn't Work, I would get deeply suspicious about the company.
LMAO! But yeah, they were easy enough to translate into 2e-isms. "Strength 16" obviously means Strength +3, and "move action" just means one action. It might trip up brand new players, but even they will probably figure it out or just houserule a reasonable alternative.
I would like... a little more polish in my $35 product, but I don't feel ripped off or anything.

Shirren are obsessed with choices; we need a species or versatile heritage obsessed with counting. I suppose skittermnandrs could be that species if you ask them to help count. I wonder if Zoken has the countdown condition.

The Binarians: ask any binarian and they will tell you they have 100 tentacular limbs... they also count in binary.These limbs come a main body core consisting of three large eyes arranged in a triangle around a "mouth"
the enumeration of things is considered, in their major religions, to be sacred, and a binarian, when greeting you formally will make a show of counting your limbs. this originated as a sign making sure you are healthy and whole. If you are a close acquaintances with a Binarian they will address you more commonly with a nickname based on some number they associate with you; largest number of alcoholic drinks they've seen you consume, number of shots it took for you to hit a moving bullseye, something they consider specific to you.
Has anyone heard from Zoken yet? I'm worried.
Only 8 days remain... what happed to days after that? If Zoken stops counting, will we even have days after that? Will this become a new adventure "A Cosmic Countdown"? or will this be the end of Days...
Now that the question is asked, I think our safest course of action is to enshrine Zoken inside a Golden Throne, keep him from ever tasting the sweet release of death by any fel means necessary, and ensure that he never. stops. counting.

Pregenerated Characters are up! Including 7th level versions!
The SF2e Organized Play Guide(Not to be confused with the PDF that will have Shobhad and Ikeshti) is also live on Lorespire.
Just curious, if I added a Starfinder 2e subscription mid-July and I got Battlecry from my Pathfinder subscription delivered already, did my Starfinder books get sidecarted for a ~September delivery?

I am sorry to say this is not acceptable as subscriber will receive the book after the people who are 1 time purchaser.
One-time regular purchases who are not reviewers or media cannot even complete their purchase on the books until the 31st at all and will not have books shipped on the same day. The best we can do, since we don't have control over the mail system once they get products and start moving them, is make sure that all the subscribers' orders are shipped before any retail orders are, which is what we're doing!

That's right on the cusp, so I'm not sure off hand, but if you reach out to Customer Service, they can let you know!

[Updated] I will get back to you when my players respond as they received the book, funny that 2 of my players are 1 time purchaser and they received the book, they just confirm it.
For Customer service, I will add that they are completely silent as my ticket is not touch yet and it is over a week old.
I will reach out to them (Customer Service) myself right now and see!
