Why was this not released prior to the Core Rules? I loved the Pathfinder Beginner Box and actually used to introduce a group of people to RPGs, but other than that it has been redundant because I normally just go straight to the core rules.

I am about to start a Starfinder campaign in January and this would have been a great way to kick it off, but I'm just going to dive straight into the Dead Suns adventure path and so by the time this is released, it will be of little use to me.

The Pathfinder Beginner set wasn't released prior to the core rules either. This is coming out now because the line has proved to have legs and money can be diverted to create an expensive starter set.

Well said, Ghost2020.

I will definitely be picking this up. If it is half as useful as the Pathfinder one it will be worth every dime.

It will be great if they present a simplified version of the rules.

I’ll be adding this to my 5e and Star Wars FFG collection of starter sets.
