Hello esteemed readers of EN World and welcome back to the PAIZO NEWS ROUNDUP! The Paizo site blackout no doubt had all of you worried, but FEAR NOT! The Paizo News Roundup is here and all of its links should be working. Now, let’s see what the Golem has in store for us!
It seems like you Starfinder GMs are already asking for new and exciting ways to send your players to a galaxy of hurt, because Paizo has listened and they’ve got a new treat in store for you! It seems like it was only last month that the first Alien Archive arrived, and now the sequel is already on the horizon. Starfinder Alien Archive 2 features over 100 different life-forms to meet, greet, and make meat of in your Starfinder campaign, from aliens that breathe LASERS to critters that can eat whole starships! Even better, Starfinder Alien Archive 2 includes template grafts to modify your critters to suit the environment (and the deadliness of your campaign!)
What’s more, the good folks behind Starfinder know that the best supplements are for both GMs and for players, so there are rules aplenty for players to make use of. Over a dozen races receive player-ready treatment, letting you finally realize your dream of playing an actual bear in space – a bearstronaut, if you will. Not only that, new alien technology helps your bearstronaut keep his fighting edge in space, with expanded options for armor, weapons, magic items, and spells. All in all, this looks like it’s going to be an excellent product, and I’m looking forward to cracking into it.
What’s next? Oh yes, more Starfinder! The Against the Aeon Throne Adventure Path is going to wrap up its experimental three-issue run with Starfinder Adventure Path #9: The Rune Drive Gambit! You’ve saved colonists from Azlanti expansion and rescued your friends from their clutches, but now it’s time to take on the Azlanti Empire head-on! The experimental starship drive at the heart of this saga is complete and functional, and the nefarious nobleman who wants all its power to himself will stop at nothing! Can your heroes save the galaxy? How will you handle the appearance of a secretive peacekeeping organization? CAN YOU PULL OFF THE THEFT OF A MEGA-YACHT AND TOTALLY DERAIL YOUR GM’s PLANS?! It’s up to you to show the galaxy what you’re made of in STARFINDER ADVENTURE PATH#9: THE RUNE DRIVE GAMBIT!
Last on the docket for this edition of the Paizo News Roundup is the next installment of the Return of the Runelords Adventure Path for Pathfinder! We’re closing in on the last hurrah for first edition here, but that doesn’t mean they’re going to go out with a whimper. Pathfinder Adventure Path: Runeplague is the third of six issues in the Return of the Runelords Adventure Path, and as before your heroes hardly have time to rest before another of the ancient rulers of the land returns with a hideous plague as his vanguard.
It’s up to your characters to discover the runelord behind the plague, as well as the identity of as many of the remaining runelords as possible. This task is made all the more difficult as you begin to attract strange visions and otherworldly invaders dogging you at every step!
Well, that about does it for this edition of the PAIZO NEWS ROUNDUP! With the Golem keeping so many balls in the air between first edition, second edition and Starfinder, this will be the best place to keep an eye on what’s to come. What’s to come that you’re most excited for?
