My six takeaways from the PaizoCon 2022 'Declassifying the Dark Archive' online panel today...

1) That's not an owl bear! That's Old Man Jenkins! And now I wanna to play in a Pathfinder 2e Scooby-Doo one shot or campaign.

2) The teleporting Psychic is gonna have insane mobility.

3) I love the idea of the Time Mage archetype. You may not be a Time Mage now but you will be in the future and your abilities comes from your future self.

4) The Chronoskimmer; "I'm not gonna smack you now but I will ten minutes in the future." Ten Minutes Later... *SMACK*

5) I want that murder goose and I'll name them Fred.

6) My fulu hopes has been dashed! I guess maybe in another release then!

William Saint-Clair Age - 20

Born to a proper Southern family, William has what the upper class might call "good breeding.”  Of course, this privileged life came with certain expectations, which he had never been able to satisfy.  William is the younger of two boys, and he has always lived in his brother’s shadow.  Anything he did never seemed to quite measure up in his parents’ eyes.  When America began its involvement in the War, William’s older brother eagerly enlisted to serve his country.  William, on the other hand, was reluctant.  He wanted to finish his education, but pressure from his family all but forced William to join up with the Marines.

Though he is a kind, good-hearted young man, William can be a bit naive, thanks to his pampered upbringing.  He is also burdened with low self-esteem and still learning to be his own person, rather than follow in his brother’s footsteps.  William certainly isn’t the most courageous fellow in his platoon, but at least all those college nights out with the boys has taught him that liquor can help boost his confidence.  Whatever the circumstances, William would just be happy to return home in one piece

==========================

(A friend of mine is running a WW2 oneshot campaign at Paizocon.  I was hanging out w/ him a few days ago and I helped him come up with one of the pre-made PCs.  If you get a chance to check it out, lemme know what you think!)

I attended the PaizoCon preview banquet. Here’s my (incomplete) notes:

Jason’s too drunk, Sutter’s the star

Starfinder CORE RULEBOOK (sort of), spiral-bound Delve on Sunday is SF Draconic corporate overlords mentioned Mechanic AI can be robot or implant Each class has 4 sample builds Character themes (Ace pilot, bounty hunter, priest, scholar, spacefarer, icon, mercenary, xenoseeker, outlaw, themeless) +1 ability score?, improves with level (every 6) Many spells kept from Pathfinder (magic missile) New (logic bomb, microbot assault) Goblins are hard to get rid of. So yeah they’re here. :) (they still have dogslicers but also have tech) Pull The Pin feat (set off someone’s Grenade if they arent expecting it) Badass guns (looks like a Gatling gun, flamethrower) look MUCH like tech guide art style. Space dwarves mine asteroids Legacy section includes conversion rules and updates on old core races. PCs are starship crew from lvl 1 5 roles on starship (skill-driven) Rules for making new ships/upgrading them Gamemastering chapter (traps, afflictions, biomes) Pact Worlds (all of old planets minus Golarion, Idari (Kasatha generation ship)) Setting in core book Each pact world has 2-page spread Factions (HELLKNIGHTS IN SPAAAACE, Free Captains, Android Abolitionist Front, Xenowardens) Nyarlathotep is CORE DEITY! Oras god of Evolution Aspis Consortium (Illuminati-esque) Azlanti Star Empire!? (THEY BECAME AN INTERSTELLAR EMPIRE HOLY SHIT)

Dead Suns AP Mysterious asteroid sets off race to find ancient alien superweapon Through Pact Worlds and beyond “Dead Suns” references superweapon’s abilities 1st has a gazetteer on Absalom Station (double-sized) Each AP has a new ship and new planet

Alien Archive cover! Dragonkin! Security robot Dozens of player races Skittermanders Alien gear Each alien is on a 2-page spread

Pathfinder They still do it ;) Book of the Damned Cover has Charon (no hat :’(), Noticula, Mephistopheles Compiles all the old books plus new material September release Spotlight on Orcus, Jubilex New pocket editions (APG, GMG, B2, UE)

Ruins of Azlant AP More traditional AP Aboleths, obviously Upcoming mini set has tie-in minis

War For The Crown Taldor civil war! Working for Princess Eutropia (Goodly ruler) “James Bond meets Game of Thrones” Focus on intrigue CRYSTAL IS WRITING IT Amber Scott doing both APs

Ultimate Wilderness Cover has Feiya, Lini, and someone else (new iconic?) Overview of Druidic sects NEW ICONIC REVEAL: SHIFTTER Martial class “Druid paladins” Natural Weapon combatant Starts w/ animal aspects, later full wild shape Capstone: Final Aspect allows shifter to have all of their five animal aspects at once Can become mix-n-match creatures. (Impossible Creatures nostalgia, I’m wierd) New Iconic doesn’t have a name yet but she looks BADASS

I don’t really care about PFS but that stuff is happening now, notes might be sparse Year of Factions’ Favor (both card and RPG) Season is integrated into War For the Crown AP Taldor’s attacking Absalom (good luck!) Starfinder Society In-universe Society has been around for several hundred years, recently suffered a serious disaster, most veterans are gone PC data has in-universe repercussions Year of the Scoured Stars (investigating what happened to the Society)

Maze of Death 14th set Sea Drake (not quite as cool as B2 art but still awesome) Minotaurs (Inner Sae Bestiary inspired) Minotaur Artillery Ghul Young Blue Dragon (large), perched on a rock, based on Wooten art Basirond/Mindfrond Case Incentive: HUGE AIR ELEMENTAL, it’s real big, and water elemental! BOth based on mythic Elemental art. DROWNED PEOPLE INSIDE!!!! SO BADASS. Earth and fire in a future set.
