 September 15, 2012 - 2:19pm | I created a public share on Google for those playing online games. You can use them to create new maps. If you share the map file with your players, they can see you move around counters, make notes, etc. You find deck plans (like the Gullwind) and other ships, bunkers, ruins, mountains, etc. More information about online games here: Content of Star Frontiersman project Star Frontiers Online PlaySFOP is designed to help Referee's run games online. This document should serve as a resource to assist you, the Referee, in finding online tools, utilities and virtual game tables.

September 15, 2012 - 4:40pm | Tom, I'm referring to the browser interface, not the Drive application. Have you tired to access the site? |
September 15, 2012 - 6:54pm | Yep, I clicked on your link and it takes me to a video about drive and tells me to download and install it and then says it's not supported on Linux.  I was expecting a web interface as well and was surprised it didn't work.Ad Astra Per Ardua!

September 15, 2012 - 6:55pm | Of course now that I try it again it's working. Go figure. Ad Astra Per Ardua! My blog - Expanding Frontier Webmaster - The Star Frontiers Network & this site Founding Editor - The Frontier Explorer Magazine Managing Editor - The Star Frontiersman Magazine |
September 16, 2012 - 3:08pm | Awesome! The deckplans you made would work very well using this tool, are they available for download? Could they be put on Google for everyone to use? |
September 16, 2012 - 7:17pm | Yes, go to the Frontier Explorer site and hit the hi-res map downloads section. That's where they live. Anyone is free to grab them. Ad Astra Per Ardua!
