[QUOTE="LongGoneWriter, post: 7723798, member: 6857996"] Whew! Gen Con over and done with, and what a show! But time waits for no one, which means it’s time for a new PAIZO NEWS ROUNDUP! [CENTER][ATTACH=CONFIG]88406[/ATTACH][/CENTER] [PRBREAK][/PRBREAK] As you have probably come to expect, this week’s news focuses primarily on Starfinder and all the ways you can jump into Paizo’s shiny new role-playing system. It is just as important for you to be able to drop your old favorite characters into the new system as it is to make new characters, so it is no surprise that Paizo is making a point to update the core Pathfinder races and the alignment mechanic to Starfinder and the Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild. Speaking of organized play, Paizo also has streamlined rules for starship combat and starship choices for the Starfinder Society.
