    I have been thinking about the Star Frontiers setting. One of the things that is missing are maps of the planets. It would be nice to see what they look like.
    Also when you make up a new planet, have some sort of standard for a map. Then you could share it with others and place your star system, etc.
    Anyone have any ideas on this.

    First off...apologies to all players for not being able to continue this. I'd like to kick it back in gear, although two of the original four players have dropped out of the site (one during play and another during my hiatus).

    Up for grabs would be the vrusk K'likit ( http://starfrontiers.us/node/798 ) and the dralasite Gloob ( http://starfrontiers.us/node/1790 ).
    I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

    So, some of the talk recently speaks of waning support.  I propose that rather than trying to inject more 'new' material, we go back to what was the biggest influence for the little revival... The Core Rulebooks (AD/KH).  Bill had a great idea when he remastered the rules, and I say we do it all again... especially since I believe he lost his original files, and only the remastered pdfs are remaining.

    I was reading the KH rules. Trying to re learn it so I can play with my son. It has been a long time.
    It mentions side A and side B. How do you decide which is side A and B? And who gets initiative?
    Maybe I'm missing it in the rules.
    Thanks for the help.

    Once again another great topic has spawned from a thought provoking dicussion in another thread. This thread will dicuss the subject of starships (especially large hull size vessels) landing on planets and inter-atmospheric flight. Please include any house rule examples or discuss possible rule systems for a possible submission as a Frontiersman article. This topic is related to the perviously active KH topics of ADF and Perpendicular Deck Configurations but deserves its own consideration as well.

    I always recognized, and most of the time used, the original KH concept of starship decks being perpendicular to the ships axis but never gave it a lot of serious thought. From an earlier discussion in another topic's explanation about ADF using hard science examples, this placement of decks makes a lot of sense. However, I would like to try and reconcile this if possible with the common sci-fi media concept which often uses a horizontal to axis deck arrangement much like that of modern millitary naval craft. I hope the community can help me out with some thought provoking discussion here.

    Just for fun I decided to start writing a blog about Star Frontiers goings on. Acutally I started back in January but really didn't get going. I've picked it back up and if anyone is interested they can find it at http://starfrontiers.blogspot.com

    Can someone explain to me how a ship a ship can have the same acceleration and deceleration without turning around? Do they use powerful attitude thrusters or something?

    Curosity killed the dralasite. ;-)

    Have you guys used radiated areas in your games? How do you handle the effects? I haven't found anything in the rules about it.

    One of the players in my game has been playing a Boon'sheh. We have been having fun with this race. I was wondering if there is any other official canon on this race? Or is Goblinardo planning any further source material on them ?
