The image is of the abysm dragon from Starfinder Alien Core floating over a blurred picture of a vessel in space. In the bottom right corner of the image is the "Starfinder" Second Edition logo.

You didn't think Pathfinder would have all the dragon fun this month, did you? Check out the fierce dragons of the Pact Worlds in today's blog about the dragons from Starfinder Alien Core!

Did you name it Mewtwo

Wouldn't surprise me to learn that codename is already taken.

I had completely forgotten that one of the host dragon's abilities is just called "Covered in Bugs." Anyway Starfinder Alien Core is releasing soon and it's VERY EXCITING.

Game journalists talking about new TTRPGs this year, don't forget about Starfinder 2e please!! It's a truly stunning science fantasy game built on the award-winning Pathfinder 2e engine. It was created by a super queer team. It deserves your attention!

Launching a new TTRPG is exhausting. So is Gen Con. But the outpouring of fan enthusiasm is an excellent reminder of why we work so dang hard to create these games. Be kind and fight on, Starfinders! Have fun with Starfinder Second Edition! #Starfinder #Starfinder2E #GenCon #TTRPG

Arcane? Check. Cosmic? Check. Dragon? Check. Don't mind me. Just triple checking the traits on this Starfinder Second Edition critter.

It's much simpler if you live in one of those states, but it's possible for Paizo to open up other states if needed. (Easier said than done in many cases, as all the regulations, processes, and costs are different from state to state.)

There are Paizo employees who work from/live in Canada. I'd consider reaching out to HR to ask about that process and perhaps applying anyway if you think you're a good fit.

Every state has specific regulations, costs, and processes for getting set up to hire remote employees, and some are more prohibitive or expensive than others.
