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.
And hailing from Starfinder 2e's Alien Core, we've got spooky space fantasy dragons! The Host Dragon is my favorite, what's yours~?
"try hard or die hard"
I mean, that still might be better than most!
Send them in for grading? 😅
It's a much better book thanks to you and the rest of your team, Avi! @legalizegoblins.bsky.social
I don't think I ever announced this because I just forgot?? But in case you weren't aware... I was the editing lead on Starfinder 2e Player Core 👾👽😇 It was a lot of work, but truly a delight and a privilege.

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

The [redacted] are super cool.
Arcane? Check. Cosmic? Check. Dragon? Check. Don't mind me. Just triple checking the traits on this Starfinder Second Edition critter.
Had such a wonderful time at Norwescon. Thanks for having us!

Both @mechaspacewitch.bsky.social and @mkimmel.bsky.social nodded in appreciation to this.
Chk-chk, reading vidgame dialogue: "If you kill a murderer, the number of killers in the world remains the same "

Obozaya, mouth full of take-out: "Kill two."

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.
You do not need a degree in English or Mathematics to be considered for this job, by the way. You should be a strong writer and have relevant math skills. "Equivalent experience" can be many things aside from a degree. (Repeating a disclaimer: I am not in HR, just a member of the Starfinder team.)
(Disclaimer: I am not HR.)

1. There are plenty of people at Paizo who have LinkedIn accounts, and plenty who don't. If you have a thorough/active account, it can't hurt to link it, but I doubt it matters if you don't have LinkedIn.

2. Yeah, a cover letter is a good idea.
A bachelor's or similar experience is preferred, but not required. :)
