Watch the stream here!

[QuidEst]

Caught the end of it! Thanks Paizo for running this, it was a fun treat. Just heading back to the start to catch what I missed! Happy to hear that necrografts will be making their way back at some point. X)

[Maya Coleman]

Yay, we're glad you enjoyed it!!! The more people who tell us as well means the more likely we are to do streams like it!! Thank you for enjoying it, QuidEst!

[Justnobodyfqwl]

Only caught the end of it! To be honest, I still don't know what Warframe is, but I heard more about it than SF2E.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

Darn, I missed it!

I guess I'll have to wait till it's on the YouTube channel or something. Wanna see two of my current hyperfixations directly interacting!

No need to wait! The VoD is on Twitch.

[Zoken44]

I missed that on friday. I'll start work today listening to it.

Thanks for sharing this! Twitch only keeps videos for a week now, so all those who just missed it can watch it there, but if you're seeing this message well after, it'll be up on YouTube by Friday!

For those who watched this stream, did you like the format? Did you like our vtubers? We really like them personally, but in order to find out if they're a thing we should do more often, we need to hear from you too! Please leave your feedback here whenever you do watch it!

[Master Han Del of the Web]

For someone like me who was primarily there for gleaning more things about SF2e as opposed to the social engagement (nothing against you guys but this is not really what I come to a game company for and not a format I engage with generally) the stream was a little bit chaotic and hard to parse at times. If this is to be a more common occurrence, could an effort be made to put the most recent question on the screen somewhere?

It's certainly not something we'd do to replace the streams we currently have entirely, but more as a fun occasional treat, so this is great feedback! I'll reach out to the tech team to see if it's possible to do in the moment of the stream! I think it should be!

[Zoken44]

Since you have Little chibi v-tuber avatars, any chance we'd have in-character streams where "Dae" and "ChkChk" and the rest play?

[Master Han Del of the Web]

Great! Thank you. That will make things much better.

We'd like to do this in the future, yeah! That's something you'd tune into?

[Zoken44]

yeah, I think that would be cute, and give a chance for the iconics to really let their characterization show.

[Maya Coleman]

That is good for us to know! Thank you, Zoken!

[Driftbourne]

If you are going to do v-tuber avatars for the iconics, how about an iconic Vidgamer for Starfinder? If not an iconic, some famous NPC Vidgamer. Since there was a combat game being played in the background, maybe have the person hosting the stream use a Zo! v-tuber avatar.

[QuidEst]

Since you asked for feedback, the "speaking emphasis" was a bit low, especially for Chk-chk's mandibles. For group events like this, some channels have the non-speaking form a little desaturated or a little smaller in size, so that who's speaking sticks out a bit more.

We were thinking of making one for Zo! actually!!!

You know, we were worried about this, so this is really good to know. I'll definitely pass these notes over to the team. Thank you, QuidEst!

[Claxon]

I'm sad I missed this. I play Warframe almost every day (for me relaxation me time). Not sure what the content/format was, I'll have to find it on Youtube, but the idea of Piazo or Starfinder X Warframe intrigues me.

It kind of makes me wish for a Warframe update with a Starfinder Easter Egg of some sort, or vice versa some reference to Warframe stuff in new Starfinder lore.

[Justnobodyfqwl]

The little PNGtubers were cute, but yeah I didn't feel like I noticed them moving much. I'll also admit that even tho I know it was a casual "hangout stream", I still would have loved more SF2E talk! I don't know anything about Warframe, so I felt a little lost.

[Kishmo]

Echoing others: I like the idea of a casual AMA stream with just whatever random stuff going on for visuals. The chibi-Iconics were lovely, and it was pretty cool to see their creator getting rep'd in Chat!

But, also like others: I don't know much about Warframe, and didn't get much out of that specifically. Especially since that aspect was mostly watching hyper-acrobatic space-ninja jumps. Made me a little motion sick :D Something a bit less ... frenetic, may be a better choice. I'd def watch again with, I dunno, Darktide or Helldivers 2 or something!

[Claxon]

Yeah, warframe is a lot to take in if you're not familiar with it.

And depending on the player you're watching...I totally get the motion sickness aspect.

[Maya Coleman]

Thursty was JUMPING like his life depended on it too lol I know I for one also get motion sick when I play Warframe, and I was glad to be hosting and asking questions instead, so I totally get that. This is really good feedback, everyone!

[Claxon]

As a Titania main (can fly), What's jumping?

Related but unrelated, my Warframe user name is the same as here, Claxon, if anyone wants to play together.

I really wanted to love warframe when it first came out but something about the motion of the game trips the NOPE part of my brain and I just can't stomach it for long. Same because it seems like an awesome game.

[Maya Coleman]

It sounds like streams of other games would be fun too? If we work out the Vtuber kinks and figure out a way to display the text of the questions too so they're easier to follow!

It could be. It might actually be better. While I love to play warframe...it's actually kind of hard to watch other people play it.

Not only the motion sickness, which even I kind of get watching other people play (though I'm fine when I play) the game is so frenetic and fast paced it requires you to completely focus on it, or do less well than you would hope. Even when watching someone else play it, you kind of need to focus on it to follow what's happening or ignore it.

I think slower paced games might actually be better.

I think Shadow Run Hong Kong or some other SciFi game with similar themes to Starfinder might be better options, even if they don't have the draw that Warframe might.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

I just came from the Tennocon stream and HOLY ZON-SHELYN THEY'RE DOING AN OFFICIAL WARFRAME×STARFINDER CROSSOVER THINGY!!!!!

[Shatterbird]

SO THATS WHY THEY WERE STREAMING WARFRAME

[Lindley Court]

Yeah okay this is wild. this Wargamer article has a lot of detaisl.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

I'm so unbelievably happy right now!!!

[Chocolate Milkshake]

A little disappointed it's about the Hex and not actual tenno PCs we could play. Or just letting us run around in the origin system as normal starfinder PCs.

[QuidEst]

GUESS WHO CALLED IT!

Not me, that's for sure; this took me completely by surprise. Great work to the team for making this happen!

[Ellias Aubec]

I enjoyed the video on youtube after, although I wasn't really watching, just listening to the talk. Didn't even realise the cartoon characters below were anything special - just thought they were random iconics to make it more SF themed.

Although, as requested in the video, I would love to see a SF computer game.

[WatersLethe]

Do Deep Rock Galactic next!

[moosher12]

Hope the Warframe one does well. Would be cool if it got attention to get a second adventure with some more fun Warframe items and abilities. My players are very excited for it!

Also I'll second it, I'd love to see a Deep Rock Galactic one!

[Driftbourne]

I've never even heard of Warframe before the live stream, but still excited to see this crossover happening. I think it might be fun to have this to give characters with the Vidgammer background something to reference. The listing for it is already up.

Starfinder x Warframe: Operation Orias

It's also good cross-marketing with the release of SF2e almost here. I'd love to see SF2e really take off.

[moosher12]

Looking forward to hearing how they are going to do this.

At first I assumed that it would be using Starfinder classes, but it sounds like they are doing some sort of pseudo class deal, bespoke for Warframe style abilities? I'm curious how it will work. Looks like it'll be for Excalibur, Mag, Volt, and Trinity, so the three starters plus Trinity. But it also mentions rules to expand them into other Warframes.

It does not sound like it'd be as in-depth as a full class, and with the page count of an Adventure book, also competing with space for a primer on the setting and a Bestiary, I'd imagine you probably couldn't get more than 1 or 2 pages a set. So I wonder how it'll work.

Fixed link here!

[Claxon]

I don't even have an active group to play Starfinder with, but I'm going to purchase this crossover product just because

[Perpdepog]

I'm excited! I like these crossover events Paizo does every so often.
I like how they partner with somewhat more obscure IPs, the kickstarter was how I found out about Vampire Hunter D, for example, and they happen infrequently enough to always feel special, even now when crossovers and mash-ups have become almost cliche in the mainstream.

[Maya Coleman]

We're really happy you all are as pumped for this collab as we are!

[Claxon]

I know it's a little earlier since I don't even have the first announced scenario, but....

MOAR

[moosher12]

Thanks for the stream! Have an amazing time at GenCon!
