 August 28, 2012 - 11:19am | So in the interest of exposing my kids to all the nerdy SF goodness from my childhood - I have really wanted to run an GW setting for my kids. But I really don't want to get into another campaign, and ruleset, etc. So the idea is to incorporate it into my existing SF campaign, but outside the boundaries of the existing frontier. |
 August 25, 2012 - 4:26pm | Ships get lost, become derelict or sail away like a cosmic Flying Dutchman. 125-10PF Hundreds of exploration vessels are lost during this time. 32-26PF Thirty two exploration vessels are lost trying to map the Lesser Morass. The above statements say hundreds which must be somewhere in the area of 200 ships and then the second statement specifically accounts for 32 of them in a particular area. This is a lot of ship over the course of a century and this is just exploration craft. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
August 21, 2012 - 9:29am | Issue 18 saw the publication of the "magic of the frontier" article There is actually quite a bit of new items in it and its been awhile since I wrote it so immediately upon rereading it I started to think of new items. This thread is about developing new items: I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

 August 17, 2012 - 7:52pm | Anyone interested in having some fun making a Star Frontiers CYOA? I imagine we could use the Documents in the Adventure Writing Forum project. The main page will be the stories beginning with choices at the bottom. Each choice will be a new page. Kinda like the Refer to: The Keep It Rolling Story Sound like fun? Perhaps some of our kids can help write. |
August 16, 2012 - 9:53pm | Hey everyone. I've been thinking quite a bit about what I'm going to do to expand my kids SF campaign after we run out of canon materials... One of the things I plan on doing is a sort of Gamma World/Fallout-ish campaign where my kids get stuck somehow on a post-apocolypse planet. I've been looking over some scenarios from the game Darwin's World here: http://www.rpgarchive.com/index.php?sysid=59&page=adv&sort=Alpha. Since the Sathar are an older race, they're perfect for nuking some planet a few hundred years ago to give the mutations some time to builld... |

August 12, 2012 - 8:31pm | I am working on an article for the StarFrontiersman about Indentured Servants. I am looking for feedback and ideas to add to what I have so far. Please feel free to make suggestions. My research was done on Colonial American indentured servants. An indentured servant is a person/ being who is bound by a labor contract for a certain number of years. There are three type: 1) The freewillers, someone who has chosen to bind themselves for labor for a specific passage to somewhere. |
 August 6, 2012 - 2:11pm | It's been nearly six months since the Virtual Con and I've heard from quite a few people that they wished they hadn't missed the first one and asking when I was going to set up another. I've been a little swamped with kids over the summer and am getting to it a little later than I had hoped but I've finally gotten to setting up another one. Ad Astra Per Ardua!
