 January 31, 2012 - 4:08pm | For the first time every w00t! appeard LIVE on a webcam and played Open d6 (based on Star Wars WEG d6). It was a blast. I'm offering to run online Star Frontiers games if anyone wants to join. You don't need a webcam, but require a mic. I gotz to hear you! (and probally don't want to see you anyway, hehe) I've been asked to run games online for families, if you'd like to play a character with your kids I can Referee a game for you. No charge. |
 February 9, 2012 - 6:17pm | In East Asia the Chop is a seal, carved from a small block of wood or ivory that usually says something like "This is the seal of [insert name]" A chop is a legal signature used in documents and art. At its most basic its a block print. Because they are carved from wood or ivory you get a unique print like a finger print. I was thinking that this is an interesting custom and that we should barrow it for one of the races; vrusk and ifshnit are the ones that jump out to me.

February 6, 2012 - 1:48pm | In D&D 4.0 there are templates in the DMG2 book to change up standard monsters so the DM can throw a curve ball at the players. Tamplates can be anything: lich, vampire etc (undead were popular) and you just take a regular creature and apply the template with its new abilities and unleash unexpected badness ont he PCs. For instance you could take a dragon and apply the lich template. "Well Mr. Carpetbagger, we got something in this here territory called a Missouri boat ride." - Outlaw Josie Wales.

February 6, 2012 - 7:14am | Has anyone taken their kids to a Build a Bear Workshop? Well this aint that. This is a collaboration project to build a new sathar attack monster/bio-construct. Rules: 1. Basic idea is Community collaboration and submission to the SFman. I'll do the work of writing it up and push it along, looking for concensus in the posting and I'll break ties/ non concensus situations 2. Its a cold weather creature that the sathar bring to the dance on cold or snow bound planets/ environments. 3. Must be as "BAD Arsed" as the Quick Death "Well Mr. Carpetbagger, we got something in this here territory called a Missouri boat ride." - Outlaw Josie Wales.

February 4, 2012 - 8:27pm | Idle thought here spurs this question In SFman #5 page 37 we find the vimh (rodent PC race) They dont know where they come from, they reproduce rapidly, have little culture of their own besides what the borrow from the surrounding culture, not well educated, pretty much scavengers, with huge appetites. they are written as an under class exisiting at the edge of society and scavenging. They dont maintain technology of their own but borrow what they need. 1. one implication is that they are not a proper space faring race.

January 29, 2012 - 12:03am | Guilty pleasures, movie thread had me thinking about Logan's Run and Damnation Alley. And I got a half baked campaign idea. Frontier races are long lived. Imagine an exploration expedition stuck on a planet for 75the or 100 years when they finally are able to fix their ship and return to the frontier. Things have changed. War pestilence and collapse of civilization. On one planet they find domed cities where no one is allowed to live over a certain age due to resource scarcity (Logan's Run). On another planet its Mad Max and Road Warrior sorts of conditions. "Well Mr. Carpetbagger, we got something in this here territory called a Missouri boat ride." - Outlaw Josie Wales.
