I never got to play it very much and much of the time I played it like "D&D in Space", but I still had fun and the game had a place in my heart, if not on my table very much.
Well, Star Frontiers is back in an official form Wizards of the Coast and One Book Shelf.
Star Frontiers: Alpha Dawn pdf and pod
Star Frontiers: Knight Hawks
Star Frontiers: (SF AC-1) Official Character Record Sheets
Star Frontiers: (SF1) Volturnus, Planet of Mystery
Star Frontiers: (SF2) Starspawn of Volturnus
I know Star Frontiersman has always been around and they do some great work, I just never
EDITED: See note below about the legal agreement between Star Frontiersman and WotC. I stand corrected.
I am really tempted to get that hardcover. I mean really how cool would that be sitting next to my 1st Ed AD&D books?
If I wasn't so enamored with my current White Star game I would switch over.
If I get it I'll show it off when it comes in.
We still have the original (box and all) around here "somewhere"...
ReplyDeleteActually, as the maintainer of the Star Frontiersman site, I have a written agreement with WotC to make those rules available. As does the owner of the starfrontiers.com site. There has never been any issue with us doing so.
ReplyDeleteEXCELLENT. I did not know that. I will make a correction.
ReplyDeleteSucks the rules are really lackluster. We played this a lot as kids and the game defines “whiff fest” more than anything, I would use M-space or any other BRP instead and run the adventures.
ReplyDeleteOr you could always use Alpha Blue. You're guaranteed at least one PC fatality every other session... and at least a half-dozen blowjobs!
DeleteStar Frontiers was one of my all time favorite games. I have everything tsr put out. I have the remastered set, and the 5e fan made edition books. I can't wait to get a group started.
