Landing in August of this year, Starfinder is a science fantasy rpg that's fully compatible (and the future... setting-wise) of Pathfinder. I'm a bit familiar with some setting info outside of Golarion because of Distant Worlds, People of the Stars, and the Iron Gods adventure path. Initially my interest in Starfinder was very mild. I thought it was a cool idea, but whatever. However, the more I see Paizo talk about it and the more I think about it, the more excited I get.
This Polygon article does a great job of talking about the game.
Our first official taste of Starfinder will be with Paizo's Free RPGDay offering, First Contact.
Pre-orders are up for the core book, monster book, the adventure path, and several accessories.
Also, once I get the book you can be damned sure this is going to happen.
So anyone else interested in Starfinder?
I'm interested in Starfinder in that I think it's awesome that Paizo is branching off in a brand new direction like that, since it'll probably mean a long line of quality products. (Much like I think it's awesome that Goodman Games is running with Mutant Crawl Classics...) I can't say how much that interest will lead into making any sort of dent in my very limited gaming budget, though. I do like what I've seen so far quite a bit! (However, I've somehow already gotten Starfinder and Starjammer mixed up...I kinda thought Starfinder was already out until I read this post...)
