Paizo Inc. has plenty on tap for December with more roleplaying action for both Pathfinder and Starfinder so you better start making sure Santa knows you’ve been nice. I don’t have an exact release date for the following titles but I’m certain we’ll see them before Christmas.
From Paizo:
Starfinder Adventure Path: The Penumbra Protocol
Infected with a sickness that threatens to turn them into twisted murderers, the heroes travel to the city of Cuvacara on the planet Verces to find the possible origin of the madness! They soon discover that a sinister company plans to release a new social-media app that will corrupt the entire city. Surviving attacks from corporate assassins, the heroes can shut down the app’s servers and discover the location of the company’s hidden underground base on the planet’s Darkside. Within are individuals who seem to have willingly undergone transformation and protect the facility with their lives. After confronting the charismatic executive in charge and learning of the mad scientist who created the signal, the heroes find out they are now trapped on the Shadow Plane!
“The Penumbra Protocol” is a Starfinder Roleplaying Game adventure for four 9th-level characters. The adventure continues the Signal of Screams Adventure Path, a 3-part campaign in which players must race to find the source of a mystical signal that warps both minds and bodies. It also includes a way to model forms of corruption that can taint a character’s soul, advice on running horror campaigns in the Starfinder Roleplaying Game, and a selection of creepy new monsters.
