 February 25, 2020 - 7:37am | A Deal with the Devil- its a common figure of speach but also makes a great title for an encounter or adventure. In Star Frontiers the word Devil almost automatically invokes the infamous Star Devil. So what sort of deal would/could be made with the Star Devil? EDIT: Alternate use of the phrase- A Devil of a Deal I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 26, 2020 - 5:15am | The classic deal with the devil is the selling of ones soul, usually for a brief temporal benefit. How would PCs be tempted to sell their soul to the Star Devil? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

I suppose that would depend on the PC's moral background. While some may be hesitant, others view their soul like an appendix --- absolutely no medical need for it.  |

I think your comments apply to the Player not necessarily the PC but I can see someone arguing against me on this. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

I think your comments apply to the Player not necessarily the PC but I can see someone arguing against me on this. Johnny Blaze from the Ghost Rider movie. While it was a campy flick, it's a perfect example. Players that portray a Chaotic Evil D&D character would have no qualms in doing the same...meanwhile the ones that portray Lawful Good Paladins etc would be the hesitant ones. It's not always a reflection of the player, but in the case where you have a "Maria" (AKA Will) that ALWAYS portrays such a character, then yeah...it's more of a reflection on the player than the PC. |

LOL about Maria. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
