 October 27, 2012 - 1:26am | I've read a lot of comments on here which mention Babylon 5. I don't know how many people here are aware of this, but JMS played Star Frontiers. He was (and presumably still is) a gamer. He ran a hybrid Spelljammer / Star Frontiers campaign, and pieces of it made it into his show. The series is peppered with obvious references and "inspirations" from Star Frontiers. |

October 13, 2012 - 5:30am | No marines in my family but I like marines, a buddy at seminary was a marine- one of the sweetest, nicest guys I ever met- taught me some cool stuff they did with ropes in the corp when I was first getting into rock climbing and rappelling- things that usually freaked out "professional" rock climbers but after I investigated them and the science and safety factors behind them I was confident doing. But I ramble... I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

I have a few extra SF material, if you liked something signed then I can exchange a signed copy for your copy. Most of my stuff is well-used, I can't promise you a better copy, FYI. |

October 3, 2012 - 4:34pm | I haven't heard anybody mention them, so I thought I'd ask. Does anyone use the "Choose Your Own Adventure" style Star Frontiers books as reference material? I only have two of them: Villains of Volturnus Star Rangers and the Spy Some of TSR's kid books suck pretty badly, but these two are actually consistent with canon material, and are loaded with information on the Frontier. |
