The new edition will be published under the ORC License and implements the three-action economy. “With the finalization of the ORC License, and considering that Starfinder 1st Edition has been evolving since its release in 2017, we felt now was a perfect time to bring the system into the future,” says Starfinder’s Managing Creative Director, Thurston Hillman. Taking the lessons of [B][I]Pathfinder’s [/I][/B]latest edition and everything they have learned since [B][I]Starfinder [/I][/B]began, Paizo is looking forward to making the next version of [B][I]Starfinder [/I][/B]better. This will be the most open playtest Paizo has ever launched, with deeper looks into the development process. The roundtable discussion with the [B][I]Starfinder [/I][/B]team highlighted some key elements of the upcoming playtest and new edition: [LIST] [*][B][I]Pathfinder 2nd Edition [/I][/B]and [B][I]Starfinder 2nd Edition [/I][/B]rulesets will be completely cross-compatible provided your GM allows it.
