Sathar Reimagined
I have been thinking about ways I can make the Sathars more menacing, scary and threatening for an adult game in Star Frontiers universe. At the same time, I am using Savage Worlds and I have been “Savaging” everything else – reimaging and stat’ing them out for Savage Worlds. This is my little project to take the Sathar’s to a Savage level!
Surviving Cancellation
2020 has been a disaster on all levels. COVID 19, racial unrest and protests, the election – just ugly. My life is no different. Between sporadic health issues (not COVID related) and the events behind this post, my life is probably changed forever. While my experience is not unique nor earth-shattering, it is an experience…
Alien Race: The Mystery of the Vru’ukrolians
Going through my old Shatterzone books and my old Shatterzone NPC code gave me an idea to add stuff to it. One of the more attractive parts of the game material was the wide variety of art they would throw into the game. Some of that art was simply fluff with no stats or explanation….

New Database Apps

I built these during a time when I was just getting into Visual Basic programming and database stuff, and had a lot of time on my hands. I have been wanting to extract that data eventually and…
Star Trek TNG: Crystalline Entity Ideas
Rewatching TNG I did not realize they revisited the Crystalline entity one more time. From S1 E13 Datalore to S5 E4 Silicon Avatar, this thing appeared to devour planets of all life (rather quickly, I might add). This thing had me question a lot of things about it. It reminded me of the planet killer…
Alternate Homeworlds Notes
Notes I wrote that explained the homeworlds of each of the Star Frontiers non-human races. I only got to the Vrusks when I started writing this. The Vrusk Homeworld – Klick’Ra – was a warm world with deserts and swamps and warm jungles. The Vrusks grew into the industrial age fairly quickly and before they…
Preamble to the End
Another short story I wrote in early college. Once again, not very original, but I thought it had some character.
Die Hard the Hunters Part 3
“You did what, captain?” The comlink to Imperial Terran Law cruise Wyatt Earp was fuzzy and had a long delay, despite being a subspace link. The Siren System is really active today. “Commander, let’s just say I cut through a lot of red tape. You know, arrest reports, impound records, lawyers, shit like that. I…
