Starfinder Starfinder 2E: The Galaxy Guide is out - first book for SF2E

[Kichwas]

The Galaxy Guide is out. shipped for me a week ago, and should get here any day. I've had the PDF since last Friday though.

It's a lore update for the setting, but also has a lot of character addons - ancestry feats, archetypes, and so on. There's curiously a whole section for new Dragonkin options. Dragonkin being people of any ancestry who are also part dragon - making them humanoid dragons akin to the similar ancestry added to D&D in 4E.

The word 'drow' does not appear anywhere in the Galaxy Guide. I've read that Drow were used a lot in Starfinder 1E, but with the new edition being under the ORC license they just have to up and vanish now.

I've yet to find a reference that informs me what they were replaced with.

It's a little funny that the setting book came out before the rulebook. But it's also a sneaky hype-train tactic.

Guess I better check the FLGs on the way home. :3

My physical copy was on my doorstep a few hours after I made the above post. So it will probably be in local shops within the next 2 weeks. Subscribers get about that much lead time I think.

Its the planet Apostae which dies have an entry, they're the same but just referred to as elves.

I loved Dragonkin from 3E much more than I did Dragonborn. Glad to see Paizo pick it up since it seems abandoned by WotC.

I finally looked at that last night and scanned through all entries of them.

One of them has 'Void Elf' in parenthesis on it's entry. So I guess that will be an Elf heritage in Starfinder 2E to fill the same lore spot.

Oooh, even if I don't play it ever, I want this. I loved the lore for Starfinder.

Possibly, there's a lot I missed on my first run through the book-- I keep finding random feats that give ancestries more than two hands, and I've only recently read enough of Sarcesian to start falling in love with them after finding them a home in my homebrew world, Contemplatives were really thrilling me like, the last two weeks.
