The recently launched Starfinder game (see “Paizo Aims for the Stars at Gen Con”) transports Paizo’s popular Pathfinder game system into a science fiction setting.  A central component of that setting is revealed in Pact Worlds, a 216-page, full color, hardcover book that describes the solar system at the heart of the game.  The system described in the book includes 14 major worlds, representing a wide variety of environments and political situations for players to explore.

Pact Worlds includes a gazetteer for each of the 14 worlds, with world maps, descriptions of the inhabitants and cultures of each world, and a number of potential adventure locations.  New playable alien races, including a race of undead and a race of sentient plants are also featured, along with new starships, NPCs, archetypes for every class, and new weapons and gear for the game.

MSRP is $44.99.

This summer, Paizo partnered with Ninja Division to produce a line of miniatures to support Starfinder, with both pre-painted (see “First ‘Starfinder Miniatures’ Revealed”) and unpainted (see “Ninja Division Plans Unpainted ‘Starfinder’ Minis”) versions planned.
