June 12, 2020 - 8:45am | I never did play enough games of Star Frontiers back in the 80s. The players always wanted to play AD&D instead. Recently I've started to do solitary fantasy role play games. Now that I know what I'm doing and like the random format of the adventures I've decided to do a Star Frontiers campaign using the Alpha Dawn Basic Rules with a few add-on rules of my own to give it a bit more depth. You can read about it on my blog. Hope you like it: http://marccsolottrp.blogspot.com/2020/06/galactic-frontiers-mari-usque-ad-mare.html «Language is a virus from outer space» William S. Burroughs |

It plays out as a standard infection the first time the players encounter it so the Doc PC applies a shot of omnicyn from his med kit and rolls a skill check. The intelligent infection goes/thinks, "What was that?" and self evolves/changes in response. Stuff happens ie the PCs have a regular adventure and afterwards there is another round of the "intelligent infection" same symptoms but it now carries a penalty to cure (-5 or -10) I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

TITLE NOW CHANGED TO PARDON THE THIEF Kicking around an adventure idea inspired by Season 1 Episode 1 of The Walking Dead where Rick wakes up from a coma in an abandoned hospital to a world radically changed and he has to figure out what is going on and tries to locate his family. I'm looking at this as a solo adventure but it does not have to be. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

Its a pole with a minipowerclip (Zebs 10 SEU) It projects a meter diameter screen like an umbrella and will repulse rain at the cost of 1 SEU/hour.

Star Law and the mega corps would be highly interested in this. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

This page had previous discussion on this idea: https://www.starfrontiers.us/node/9614 RPGs work well with conflict ie combat so to just have doctors and scientists solving issues is perhaps potentially boring.

Had a thought for a alpha numeric robotic classification like that of Star Wars. Letter code to identify type S for Service, C for combat, H for hunter killer, etc. Number for the robot level 1-6 Letter code for body type: A for anthropomorphic, S for standard, H Or D for Heavy duty, C for tin can half sized robot body introduced in The FE #?.
