 February 2, 2014 - 9:36pm | I was thinking to examine diving movies as SF inspiration: diving doubles as a hostile environment much like space and requires specialized equipment to explore. I noticed that water seems to be a magnet for B movies. Story themes: Bad treasure hunters threaten good guys bikinis on beautiful women can sometimes make up for lack of a plot monsters lost nukes I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

February 2, 2014 - 7:05am | http://www.examiner.com/article/jon-peterson-ama-the-40th-anniversary-of-d-d-and-the-sex-stat?goback=.gde_4439688_member_5832839... It seems that proto D&D had a sex stat that could be crucial to survival but was collapsed into charisma but latter expanded to comliness. The PER stat of SF, likely bears its lineage from this "sex" stat. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
February 1, 2014 - 8:43pm | This is heavy but it made me think: happened to witness a dog getting hit by a car tonight. Not cool since it was a hit an run and the jerk had to know that he hit something but it's what it was. Anyway I was thinking that if this had been the Frontier where hover vehicles are more prevalent then the little dog would not have been hurt. So my reason the Frontier might be a cool place to live is that fewer animals would be hurt because while being run over my a vehicle with a hover fan might scare the piss out of them they should be relatively unharmed.

January 31, 2014 - 7:35pm | I was walking the streets of Chelsea Ma today and walked a functioning coble stone str. and tar mac street. Cobble stones are of course old school but the road remains and often as not is in better condition than the other roads in its vicinity (which is mostly zoned industrial) and they all take a beating from tractor trailer rigs.

January 20, 2014 - 4:52pm | "I'M happy for her to have my whole salary, and I live off my commissions" Yeah, right! I'm guessing you aint getting very far with this chick and its her birthday way to spend 1.5 hours talking about your ex. The following was from a female patron, "I dissected a human body before." Huh what??? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 January 18, 2014 - 9:46am | This is not in SF, but it is a sci-fi idea worth consideration: (I've only read a couple of these books but they present an interesting idea and society). "Never fire a laser at a mirror." |
January 13, 2014 - 10:02am | I'm currious as to how far one can go in a chain of command with conflict and insubordination? I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
January 9, 2014 - 4:42pm | Next year is the 30th anniversary since the publication of Zebs guide and the official cancelling of star frontiers. First and foremost I'd like to raise my glass of yazirian ale to my fellow frontiersman in toast to a worthy bunch of space dogs who didnt take the cancellation laying down! Next I'd like to ask if we shouldnt do something special next year to mark the occassion? Fan organized convention in the flesh or in the virtual world? Something special with the fan mag?
