Shoot Straight, Conserve Ammo, and never, ever, cut a deal with a dragon.
Okay, I said I wasn’t going to buy any more of the PDFs but I never said anything about the physical, print-on-demand versions. At least I resisted and didn’t buy them immediately. I waited until a few people had posted pictures on-line. In this post I’m going to look at the hardcover, print-on-demand versions of [...]
Wizards of the Coast continues to release more material for their old Star Frontiers game. A few weeks ago they released the Knight Hawks supplement ($4.99) which I purchased and downloaded and will review here. I should have done this sooner but got a bit caught up in the holidays. Since then they have also [...]
Last week WotC released a few scans of original Star Frontiers materials on DriveThruRPG. They released the characters sheets for free and the first two modules, SF1: Volturnus, Planet of Mystery, and SF2: Starspawn of Volturnus for $4.99 each. Since these modules have been available on-line at starfrontiers.com for years, I thought it would be [...]
I mentioned in a previous post that I was going to write up how I originally got involved in RPGs. This is going to be that post so if you’re not interested in biographical information on about me, you can probably just skip this one. As many of us that started gaming back in the [...]
A little bit of fiction for today’s post. The attack came several hours later. Meekail had ordered a stop and a chance for everyone to get out and stretch their legs after having been cooped up in the explorers the entire time. They had caught glimpses of something large and silvery a couple of times [...]
Another bit of short fiction while I finish up my projects for the semester. Science fiction this time. The captain of the Pale Star Ship Chiara stared at the view from his ship’s telescope. They were finally close enough to the unknown ships to start to make out details. From what he saw, they were [...]
Akeisha Roberts just added a post to her blog listing all the places you could go for Star Frontiers materials (“Get The Entire Star Frontiers Rule Book Set & More For Free (Legally)“). In the process of putting that list up she asked me about what can and can’t be published related to the Star [...]
It’s no secret that I’m big on Star Frontiers. I’ve been playing it off and on since I was 12 years old. So it should come as no surprise that I did another Star Frontiers thing. This time I recreated the original Port Loren Map digitally. Now there are a few other fan created versions [...]
Since this has been consuming all of my free time for the past several weeks, it is only appropriate that I announce it here. So, without further ado: Hello Explorers! Issue 14 of the Frontier Explorer is now available from the Frontier Explorer website and DriveThruRPG. This issue contains all the usual entries from equipment [...]
By the time you’re reading this, I’m off camping in Yosemite National Park with my family. (Edit: Actually, I’m back. For some reason, I forgot to hit the publish button on the post after I scheduled it so it didn’t post on Tuesday. Here it is now.) The preparation for that, combined with the rest [...]
