 December 30, 2012 - 11:23pm | Interesting. Read the description: View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W. Warrick, Star Wars Ep.

 December 30, 2012 - 5:37pm | Any suggestions on some good fiction in the vein of SF? I know there is some fiction penned by some of us, and I plan on checking that out. But, I am interested also in any other sci-fi people have read with a Frontier feel. I have read the Honor Harrington books when I was deep into Traveller. These two yazarians and this vrusk walk into a bar... |

 December 28, 2012 - 5:21am | A.K.A. what's the story behind choosing your handle? Mine dates back to Y2K when I got my first desktop with internet capabilities. Well, not my first desktop as that would have been my old 386 but rather my first foray onto the internet on a later model computer, if Windows ME can be considered "better" (rolling my eyes). |
 December 27, 2012 - 10:02am | Andy over at SF-UN yahoo group posted this analysis of the US Navy's Enterprise vs Captian Kirk's Enterprise http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/12/24/enterprise_vs_enterprise#.UNh5LdQZXC8.facebook its an interesting comparison and I found the conclusions interesting as well. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 25, 2012 - 10:55am | Holiday wishes to one and all, what ever the holiday observed by your species. BTW It suddenly occured to me that the (I thought it was called this have to look for sure when I get back to Boston) -Founders Day to celebrate the Founding of the UPF would actually be the same as our New Years Day. In fact since it celebrates the founding of the UPF and happens on the first day of the new year you can expect that the denziens of the Frontier are a little bit nostolgic and thinking about resolutions or plans for the coming year. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 19, 2012 - 4:28am | Leaving aside mechanics issues as I happen to think that AD mechanics are pretty fast play for combat already, I'm considering how to craft an old school/ early D&D style adventure for SF. From reading Matt Finch's old school primer http://www.lulu.com/us/en/shop/matthew-finch/quick-primer-for-old-school-gaming/ebook/product-3159558.html Resource management seems to be key. Also the situation should be about do we push ahead with low resources as opposed to pulling back. So this old thread popped into my head: I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 19, 2012 - 3:57am | Modern/commercial RPG adventures are very much in the vein of the revolution that Tracy and Laura Hickman started. Since RPG publishers are often market driven the idea of sequel upon sequel to sell to their customer base has become a siren call that few publishers resist. Studying the revolution its seems that most of the internet chatter concerning the Hickman Revolution stems from this blog post, it seems everyone sites this one blog: http://muleabides.wordpress.com/2012/03/23/manifesto-of-the-hickman-revolution/ I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 18, 2012 - 10:57am | Posing a question about the type of gamer you are: do you old school, new school or use spoon fred drool? Old school is pretty much the locale and plot format of the early D&D modules that left the "story" to be made up by the DMs and players playing them and typically these modules got played more than once or had great potential to be played more than once. Its a very Gygaxian model and Dwellers of the Forbidden City is one of the classics of this. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
