 December 9, 2014 - 11:49am | there was a recent thread on Starting Gear: http://www.starfrontiers.us/node/8351 There is now a question on G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/100477460519433187114 about cybernetics in a SF game and it got me thinking- Could not a starting character begin play with a cybernetic implant? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

 December 4, 2014 - 12:39pm | So.... as I'v seen TO point out... the math doesn't work. 1ADF = 1,700 g force 2ADF = 3,401 g force 3ADF = 5,102 g force 4ADF = 6,802 g force 5ADF = 8,503 g force (rounded to the nearest g) So we all handwave the reality breaking nature of movement on the hex map right? Cause even one ADF acceleration would kill anybody on the ship. ----------------------------------------------- |
 November 27, 2014 - 10:03am | Hey you Star Frontiersmen out there, wherever you are...I'm lifting a glass of the Yazarian Ale to you all...don't forget to take your biocort. Happy Thanksgiving...and thanks for keeping this game alive. -Jay Mess |
November 26, 2014 - 7:15am | Stumbled across this blog post on the tyrany of thought police in science fiction today It feels like Political correctness running wild to me. breif excerpt post here: http://teaattrianon.blogspot.com/2014/05/science-fiction-and-thought-police.html full post here: http://www.intercollegiatereview.com/index.php/2014/05/07/heinlein-hugos-and-hogwash/ blogger makes the case that Heinlein could not have won a Hugo award today. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 November 22, 2014 - 8:59pm | Many years ago a BBC sci-fi comedy Red Dwarf had an alien race (genetically engineered) that was called Psirens, this race of creatures lured ships into an asteroid field, getting ships to land or crash so they could scavenge the ships and eat the brains of the crews. These Giant biped Insect looking creatures used psionic abilities to appear as people they are not and to deceive the crews... often tapping into peoples memories, fantasies and emotional drives to manipulate them and create illusions.

November 21, 2014 - 9:16pm | So I need to come up with 30 or so... i guess, 30 - my PCs so 24... I need to come up with 24 crew names. I've created a XLS macro to randomly pick race, gender, role stats (and randomly shift between attibute pairs) and caluculate things like PS and IM, and the RW% and MW% But it can't come up with names for me. And Vrusk Names are the worst... My random crew has 6 vrusk females and one male (one PC is a male Vrusk) Wanna name them? so far I have for the lady Vrusk ----------------------------------------------- |
 November 17, 2014 - 8:42pm | Hello Everyone, I am new to the fourms and to star Frontiers, but I have been gaming for about 30 years. Is there a 'players handbook'? Something that has the character creation rules and nothing else? I want to run a play by post and it would be nice to have the players download a book without any of the adventures in them. Is there a beginning adventure, something to let me cut my teeth and the teeth of my players? |
November 16, 2014 - 11:27pm | Okay it is a theme in sci-fi, the crashed alien ship, or crash landing on an alien planet... (I even had a book as a child that was nothing but great sci-fi art of crashed spaceships with a story behind each one of them, I really wish I could remember the title and find a used copy today.)

November 11, 2014 - 6:12am | Looking for an excuse to submit this to the zine All I've come up with so far is to make them a possible opponent: The dance troupe known as Dark World Dancers is a really a group of assassins posing as dancers. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
