Big question, are Mutant Year Zero and Alien character tools still coming this year? Is HTR included with these?

Since hearing (Before EOY) made me wonder if they would be delayed to 2024 or just later on. Sorry for all the questions! I am just a bit curious since I like to coordinate which ones I buy to which ones come out soon

Thanks for posting and asking the question -

We can’t quite confirm whether ALIEN and Hunter character tools will be available before the end of the year yet, but they are on the short list of next games.

For Mutant: Year Zero, we have it a bit lower on that list at this point, mainly because we are seeing much higher demand for other Free League games ahead of it (like Vaesen). We are likely to move on some of those before MYZ unless we start to see something different on that front.

We spent many months building a platform that could cover a wide variety of games. With pilot of Pathfinder in beta as of a couple of months ago, we moved very rapidly on Avatar Legends to release it, and we are seeing great traction on Marvel and Vampire. We’ll share updates as we have them for ALIEN and Hunter…I personally can’t wait for those to be available too!

Thanks for the answer!

Hearing about Hunter and Alien is nice! It’s also pleasant to know that Hunter is separate from Vampire release times.

For mutant that’s a shame, it looked very interesting to me, I loved the idea although I do get other Free League games having a lot of hype/traction. I do love their Blade Runner 2049 along with other games, Vaesen is a great example but I have yet to try it, have you?

Also, I love the platform! I use the Avatar Legends tools often whenever I am doing a game. I am also excited for Marvel and Vampire, it’s great that they’re coming out. Which I think you guys are doing great, following through with these games, thank you for all the info!

Any news on the 5e Nexus?

I’m hoping to be able to experiment with it for my setting releases in the future.

Thanks,

Jacob

We expect 5e NEXUS to launch in Early Access in September. Our team has put in a lot of work to make the NEXUS look and feel great, and we’re excited that in just a few weeks, everyone will be able to check it out the digital reader and rules compendium! :slight_smile:

Fantastic! I can’t wait to experiment for myself and the publishers I help out with 5e projects.

free upgrade for remaster, will you be refunding people who have the full bundle and pre-ordered the new player core and gm core on top of this?

If you send us a support ticket, we can assist you to make sure you’re taking full advantage of the Remaster Program: https://demiplane.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

I can’t believe I missed this announcement. I’ve nothing material to add to this thread except to say big thanks for supporting SF2e. I for one will be a full customer and cannot wait to see how the team evolves the product. Good luck team and thanks again.

Question for you about the release date for the Starfinder 2e digital content? When in 2024 should I be hearing about it?

I believe the Starfinder playtest rulebook is slated for a summer release from Paizo this year. They’ve posted some updates about it on their blog, and when we’ve got news to share about our support for Starfinder, you can find it here in the forums or in our Dev Update youtube videos. :slight_smile:

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask, but Starfinder is going to be fully compatible and even require pathfinder 2e. How are y’all going to address that?

We can’t really answer questions about how we’re handling things until we have a chance to see the rules. Rest assured, as soon as we have information to share about how we’re handling things, we’ll do so. :slight_smile:

Play test is due out this month. Any estimate on a Nexus timeline given that?

The playtest is launching at Gencon! Unless some terrible disaster strikes, we plan to launch with the official start at the convention. :smiling_face:
