Using the PFRPG ruleset to Play Starfinder

[Trenloe]

and i am still waiting to get my hands on official materials

I was very surprised when I got the email a couple of days ago from Paizo saying they were shipping the books and providing a PDF download link. And even more pleasantly surprised when the physical books arrived on my doorstep today.

I quickly knock up an extension tomorrow that has the Starfinder skills - meaning that a new PC will have the right skills populated. I'll also try and do a video with an example combat showing how to make the PFRPG ruleset work in Starfinder...

FG is going to release a starfinder ruleset iirc.

If I knew lua well enough to make a ruleset, I would offer to do this and StarJammer, but I am still learning.

Yep, we know - as was mentioned in the first post.

But a lot of us can't wait until that comes out - we need to play now!

Wookie, make StarJammer for John Reyst and rake in that sweet cash. :-)

There is no developer for the Starfinder ruleset is the issue. A few of us just kinda figured it'd be Trenloe since he's one of the best Pathfinder ruleset and Lua guys in the community, but I guess not.

Extensions!

1) Starfinder Common Data (attached to this post) - adds the Startfinder skills to the character sheet and the drop down skill roll in the party sheet.
2) Hero Points - use for resolve points. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forum...PFRPG-CoC-CnC)

I just saw this - thanks Trenloe. Question: the addition of the skills and roll functionality works as advertised, and I assume I will continue to get "Unable to find skill record with the correct name" until I manually populate skill descriptions (presumably because of IP concerns) - correct?

The PF ruleset doesn't have the functionality to put skill descriptions within the skill list in the extension. The ruleset looks for a skill of the relevant name in the campaign database or an open module. I haven't created a module purely because I don't fancy spending the time on it. Starfinder is released under the OGL where skills and skill descriptions are under the license. So, there's nothing stopping someone putting together a community data module for skills, and other OGL material, and distributing it under the OGL.

I put together a module of the Core Races which allows for some drag and drop functionality (drag your race onto the race section of the character sheet and racial traits and ability adjustments will auto populate.)

I believe this is permitted under the anticipated SRD with the disclosure below, but I will of course remove or modify as necessary.

Fantastic!

Could you put the community use policy statement and the OGL from the rulebook within the module itself please? Easiest to put it in a story entry under License/Legal or something similar. Otherwise it can't be distributed. Thanks.
