Petronius is this guy who got roped into being a GM after playing Starfinder with his local Starfinder Society venture-agent. Once that VA got hired by Paizo, Petronius (also known as Peter N.) took over from Alex Speidel as VA. He's since been promoted to venture-lieutenant, largely due to his work on the Guides to Organized Play. One of these days, he'll get around to writing up some of his ideas for Starfinder Infinite.

Wiki Projects

Top project

• Generate pages for all Playable Species (as many are lacking as of August 2023)
  • 29 red links in the Races navbox on 11 August 2023
  • 27 on 2 Jan 2024 (did 13, added 11 new)
  • Done:
    • Amrantah, Dirindi (21 Aug)
    • Espraksa, Gnoll (22 Aug)
    • Gathol, Grippli (23 Aug)
    • Kaa-leki, Kitsune, Kobold (24 Aug)
    • Ganzi, Prismeni, Tromlin (10 Sep)

Other Projects

• Standardize references to the Guides to Organized Play (the current title)
  • Rename Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide to "Guide to Organized Play: Starfinder Society" or similar
  • Make redirects from prior page, other Guide page(s)
  • Update references and links throughout wiki
    • StarfinderWiki:Canon policy Tier 3
    • Scoured Stars Incident
    • Venture-captain
    • etc.

• Produce unified timeline for Starfinder history
  • Unite timelines in Core Rulebook (Pact Worlds) and Near Space (Veskarium)
  • Add events referenced elsewhere
  • See other efforts e.g. [1] and anything up on Reddit, the SF Discord, etc. for references, what to include, etc.
  • Possibly separate: chronological list of Starfinder Society First Seekers
  • Possibly separate: speculative dating for certain events

• Add and populate Category:SFS Recurring NPCs (name may change)
  • Society officers already have some categories (e.g. Category:Faction leaders & Category:Starfinder Society/First Seekers)
    • Note: standardize these two: Faction leaders are a subset of SFS, right? Leaders of things like AbadarCorp or something shouldn't be labelled Faction leaders
  • But no current lookup for non-officer recurring NPCs, for example
    • Julzakama
    • Dr. Monsylkis (verthani scientist) (It Rests Beneath, Tomorrow's Seekers, another?)
    • Dot (the ysoki merchant) (Year of the Data Scourge and A Festive Operation)
    • Bargai (the vlaka thug turned good) (see SFS#1-30 and another)
    • Captain Yuluzak (vesk ship captain) (Cries From the Drift, King Xeros of Star Azlant, Honorbound Emissaries, others?)
    • Camelia (raxilite) (A Festive Operation--on the cover-- and others)
    • "ysoki salvage vessel pilot that we get information from a couple of times"
  • Need to look them up first (i.e. review scenarios)
  • May want to copy the idea from the web fiction pages of listing them
    • "Major NPCs" or "Recurring NPCs" maybe?
    • See e.g. Guidance's Request

• Transition SFWiki to using "species" in place of "race" per Paizo standard as of Interstellar Species
  • Include using Template:Species_navbox
  • Include making redirects from Race, Category:Races, and Template:Races_navbox
  • Term is changing again for SF2 (to 'ancestry' to match PF2), so may just hold off

• Keep Starfinder Society-related pages up to date

• Pages to eliminate redlinks from
  • Aballon

• Categories to add missing items to
  • Category:Archetypes; create Archetype
  • Category:Artifacts; create Artifact

Completed Projects

• Starfinder comics page created 24 Feb 2024
