    "Why Starships are Better than Women"


    Your starship doesn't get upset when you forget its' birthday.


    You don't have to talk to your starship after you ride it.


    You can choke your starship.


    Your starship doesn't get mad when you ignore it for a month or so.


    Starship don't get jealous if you come home with grease under your fingernails.


    Starships don't snore.


    Starships won't wake you up at 3:00 AM and ask you if you love them.

    I'm not overly fond of Zeb's Guide...nor do I have any qualms stating why. Tongue out

    For those who don't know, the 25th Anniversary Edition Rulebook (AER) contains conversions for all the Column shift Mechanics to and from the mechanic, so you can play using the original resolution mechanic or the Zeb's mechanic, no matter what it is you want to do.

    The book is still in progress. But it will only focus on the Alpha Dawn, Knight Hawks, and Zeb's rulebooks with material from old TSR magazine articles and modules to round it out. Feel free to add your ideas and opinions to the AER forum.

    This thread has been transformed. It is now for discussing Nevada politics and decisions and whatever else.

    If you still wish to discuss Delta Dawn, Mecha, or invasions, here's a list of new threads I made in the Delta Dawn forum to continue the discussion:

    Assault Walkers (Mecha)

    Squadron and Fleet Construction

    Tracking Fleets on a Planet

    Tracking Fleets in Space

    Invasion Actions

     It has been brought to my attention that the Star Frontiers 2000 project should have a new banner or logo. The default is "boring."

    Since I have no talent for that kind of thing, I am asking for assistance from YOU!!

    1. Design a logo, post it here no later than November 15.
    2. Community voting for a favorite by November 30.
    3. Recognition and a prize to the most popular.
    Time flies when your having rum.

    Just got back from a business trip and was watching Space: Above and Beyond while travelling - man, what a great show! I'm mining it for ideas for SF... the feel of the technology is very similar and I LOVE the spacefighter dogfighting... they tend to liken it to WW1 dogfighting, which is really cool...

    Anyways, if you guys haven't seen it, I'd highly recommend it! Too bad they didn't do more seasons...

    I don't think the problem is Zeb's. As I've demonstrated with the AER (Anniversary Edition), there's very little difference between Zeb's and Alpha Dawn. What Zeb's did was bundle Kimber's Dragon Magazine articles with Alpha Dawn and provide the Column Shift mechanic, individualized skills, an extended Timeline, and 4 new races (granted, badly done races). Though the skills were multiplied, the skills mechanic has more freedom, so I don't really see it as compounding the problem. A little

    Okay, here's an idea. A d100 table with one hundred results... that's right, one hundred posts (not counting any discussions!!) Let's make them all different - cliche is fine and fun, but let's try not to be too silly. I'll do the first one... it's basically ripped from a character from a novel/movie. Maybe it can make a good collaborative article for the StarFrontiersman project:
