I Did get to talk with James Sutter about Starfinder @Gencon.  I caught him off guard a couple of times with questions that are light years away in development.  But we did discuss societies and organizations a good bit, and his favorite character.

I’m looking forward to Starfinder, I wish I would have picked it up at Gen Con, but they were gone.
