This is not any different than 90% of the software, especially games, that gets released these days. It needs months of patches to get right. The only difference is that we'd all be honest about it at the get-go instead of the publisher pretending it's complete :) It basically adds some honesty to the transaction.
I am am also certain that it will happen. But by the time the license releases a few should be ready to go right?Quote:

Indeed. But go the other way and it wouldn't be that bad.Quote:

Is there any word whether Starfinder will be getting FG support at launch or shortly after? because that would be pretty damn cool, IMO.
All I can remember is that SmiteWorks did acquire a license for Starfinder. I don't recall if that announcement stated that it would be a simultaneous release or not. 5E products have released simultaneously but the whole Paizo licensing is recent, so it's a matter of whether or not whomever was assigned to handling the FG conversion is able to do it on shorter notice or not. That's my semi-educated guess, anyway.Quote:

We are hoping to learn a lot about the size of the Pathfinder community with the release of the official Pathfinder products and that will likely help us prioritize Starfinder efforts as well.
Great news on the Starfinder license (as it's a new IP perhaps it could get the full 5e treatment?). That being said, had we heard anything new from Paizo as to when they're ready with the store updates so that we can buy the new Pathfinder FG modules? or to put in the tone that it's being asked "Are we there yet?" ;)
While we are waiting for Starfinder have you seen this Springroll?
I don't have an ETA yet. The last update I received was that there are some updates that still need to be done on the Paizo side but they are waiting for the personal responsible to return to the office after a few weeks of medical leave. They are expected back in the office for the week of April 17 as far as I know.
That's also coming to Fantasy Grounds :)Quote:
