Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder in Space

[joela]

Adamant Entertainment is querying about interest in a syfy campaign book based off the Pathfinder Roleplaying Core book. Per Adamant:

I was toying around with the possibility of adapting the Pathfinder rules to an original science-fiction setting (reminiscent of Star Frontiers -- the whole late-70s/early-80s classic space opera kinda vibe). The question, of course, is whether there would be any interest in such a thing.

To be clear-- this would be a rulebook with an included setting.

Full thread here.

Thoughts? Opinions?

I would be interested. I loved the old Star Frontiers setting and game

Just like the modern one this could be fun. With WotC sending Star Wars to pasture there could be room for a new scifi game.

I want my Dragonstar back. :hmpf:

The term is Sci-Fi, "Syfy" is a registered trademark of NBC Universal Corp. for the cable station with that name.

You and me both, buddy.

I'd be interested in seeing what they would make. Too bad though that SAGA Edition isn't OGL. It would be quite cool if others could make settings for use with the SAGA rules.

P.S. - your link isn't going to a thread, it's just going to the Paizo main page.




And your point is...?...

I'm pretty sure everyone reading his post understands what he's talking about. And since he's not promoting a product, or using the spelling "SyFy" for another product, I believe he's allowed to spell it any way he wants. I don't see NBC or "The SyFy Channel" coming here and pulling a "Lone Wolf"...do you? Or do you think he's a plant to subliminally advertise for SyFy? Or perhaps we all missed your intention and it was meant as a joke (in which case the inclusion of a or may have gotten the desired response).

Lone Wolf is a verb now?lol

Monkey would definately be interested. Already running a homebrew that uses Dragonstar and Spelljammer as inspiration (as well as Council of Wyrms and D20 Modern).

I'd like an archaic Sci-Fant (Spelljammer-esque) game to be on the market again...

But a modern Sci-Fant (Star Wars, Dr Who, certain anime, etc.) game- Pathfinder's answer to D&D-based Dragonstar- would be welcome as well.

Heck...the archaic and the modern could just be the same game in different time-settings.

However it is done, though, it shouldn't ape too many of its inspirational sources. Give it a new spin.

Perhaps humanity is one of the minor races, with few if any starships of their own, and are usually found as stowaways, workers or mercenaries on the ships of other races.

Or perhaps there was a growing Federation of Planets that was wiped out by the Überbadalians...whose race then suddenly self-destructed, leaving behind a vacuum of power into which the original Federated races are just now re-emerging. Such a setting would have vast lawless stretches with pockets of civilization...and those civilizations could have radically different mores and tech levels.

Wait, when does the premiere of Army Builder air on SyFy again?
