Starfinder from Paizo
So it looks
like Paizo is going to do a Science Fantasy setting / core rule set titled
Starfinder. Not going live until August 2017, so in the meantime I will dust
off some info that I have done in the past and as time goes along I will
migrate my works closer and closer. As always I will not follow entirely within
the setting, always more homebrewed, so off to start some translating from my
old stuff to the new stuff.
Pulled from
the initial communication are the following character ideas/concepts
Android
Assassin
Ratfolk
Mechanic
Spellhacking
Lashunta Technomancer
Human Pilot
Power-Armored
Marine
Of course we have no information at this time about what the final product will look like, what it will have for actual mechanics, etc.. So this is total speculation and a buildup to making product for the new game and setting line.
To start off I
am going to pull in other old 3PP material and update with things like CMB/CMD
and how they do skills and work up some alien races. I am going to use my T.E.S. (The End Space) as
the starting point, with the world of Vermeil in the same system in this port
over.
The End Space
dates back to before 2000 and originally in a totally different system (Hero
System 4th Edition) so all that is coming in from there is Fluff and
the crunch will be all brand new.
The original
Vermeil writing dates back to 2009 (collected and originally started in 2005).
So lots of changes will be present in the Crunch portions of those elements.
So following
posts will focus on developing a space station and several worlds around it as
well as pointing to existing materials and new aliens, monsters, items, etc.
for use in your gaming.
My Inspirations and Resources (Initial Listing): This will
expand as time and creating continues:
Babylon 5
Star Trek
(Especially Deep Space 9 for the station elements)
DAW Books and
covers (especially the 70s ones)
David Bowie
songs and videos
Spelljammer
WARs Setting
and d20 RPG
Shadowrun
Etherscope
d20 Modern
(New skills mostly to pull in)
Pathfinder RPG
