Paizo: Meet The [Starfinder 2E] Iconics: Dae
(Happy Pride! The Starfinder team would like to introduce you to our newest iconic character, Dae!)
Dae (they/them)* is a sparkly celebrity from a free planet in the Veskarium, a nearby star system ruled by a warlike empire.
Dae is a solarian. […] Dae is a famous performer […] Now, Dae’s a rising star hoping to do fame their way. They’re not looking to line the pockets of some greedy exec or get tied down with fine print; they care about putting on a show and exploring the galaxy.
Pahtras are bipedal felinoid aliens (they’re alien cat-people who walk on two legs) [...]
Where will Dae go next? That’s up to you! Stay proud and playtest. <3
I love Paizo's making their Ionics (named, persistent representations of each class) queer, and welcome Dae. :)
Paizo: The Champaion, Remastered
With the non-trivial changes to PF2E Remastered to remove traditional alignment, it was a bit of an open question how Paizo would approach the Champion. I loved that the PF2E was a "Champion" rather than a "Paladin", that being one specific sub-class of Champion.
This is what one would expect: focus on the edicts and anathema rather than the alignment, with further specific edicts/anathema as you get closer to the specific archetype you play into.

Both a repudiation of the major claims of GenAI for coding, as well as a call to actively hire and apprentice juniors to grow your organization. A bit too long, but a good read.
Incredibly frustrating. The "Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Government" was set up, ostensibly, to try to stop the weaponization of the government, but in reality, it was weaponized to make things like SIO impossible.
