Starfinder SF2e CRPG coming to Kickstarter?

[Velderan]

I saw on reddit earlier today that there's a page up for an upcoming Kickstarter campaign for a Starfinder CRPG by Epictellers Entertainment. There's also a Steam page up to wishlist it. The website doesn't have much info on Epictellers aside from saying they began working together in 2023, so it doesn't appear they have any completed projects to look at. That's probably not a good sign for people being willing to get behind a crowdfunding campaign.

The logo looks like the 2e design, so I assume the plan is to use the new ruleset? I also notice they have Paizo's logo on their KS page and at the end of the preview video on Steam so I wonder if this is something they're working with Paizo on? I haven't seen anything from Paizo on this yet, so guess we'll see.

Paizo sent out an email promoting it, which provides a bit more info on the game.

@Morrus you might find this of interest!

Also, its official teaser trailer is on YouTube. Has a bit of a light-hearted, silly feeling to it.

I like Starfinder, not sure what I think of this after the ad though. Going for a GotG vibe or something?

GotG is literally one of the called out influences on page 1 of Starfinder.

The default Starfinder 2E vibe is incredibly 80s camp sci-fantasy. There are ancestry, class feature, and equipment options directly featuring music and dance. Just need a cyborg familiar archetype and ship rules and you could run a Silverhawks campaign.

Bumping this since the project launched this morning. Early bird backing price is 30 euro in the first 48 hours for a Steam key. It already funded, so my earlier comment wondering if this apparently being a first project for the developers doesn't seem to have impacted enthusiasm much.
