Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
This was an epic night. The challenges of the caverns and then finally the Star Devil outpost. GM Notes: I merged the original material (location map matches the classic version) with Chris Putnam’s re-write and added my own spice. (1) I kept the Lake of fire and did a little lava craft for that. (2)…
With all that I am merging into this version of Star Frontiers – elements of Other Suns, Alternity Star*Drive, and Shatterzone, I needed an area of space connected to my new Frontier map that allowed for many of the potential minor races as well as exploration of new worlds. In the re-imagined map I created (shown…
With their unbridled aggression and ferocity, the klick have been the most commonly encounter external for Fleet. At first, they were thought to be a left over Sathar war beast but the Fleet Marines soon learned they were much more than that. Fortunately, the UPF and Fleet have only encountered the klicks in the distant…
The first n’sss encountered appeared to be a remorseless warrior species completely integrated with similar technology that created both the kroath and the magus. A n’sss is contained within a bio-engineered pod that stands 8 to 12 feet tall and weighs 800 to 1,200 pounds. It maneuvers about on a dozen powerful bio-metal tentacles that afford…
Researchers theorize that the Magus are simply a specialized version of the Kroath – perhaps similarly selected from various conquered races and similarly grown. Where the Kroath are brutes of fire power and battle prowess, the Magus (so named for the magical stealth ability) are built for silent death. Their armor is looks like exposed…
All contact with the Kroath species has ended in violence. All attempts to locate a kroath origins have been unsuccessful. It is theorized that the kroath are actually multiple humanoid creatures all genetically manipulated and grown for battle. Much the same way that Sathar select certain creatures and aliens for their war beasts, the I’Krl…
Initially, I did not find these aliens inspiring. But as I develop campaigns, I find ways to insert them. Mysterious leaders of crime syndicates, secret society agents, or hidden corporate CEOs running massive mega-corporations, I can see possibilities. The gardhyi (pronounced gar-DYE-ee) have been around for a long time. Just as the fraal or greys…
BASICS/PULL If the same group: After safely returning with Ilder, the PCs are soon briefed into a new mission. Balrom Ilder’s mind has been picked by Star Law & Fleet psi-interogators. All the information he knows about the planet Alpha Dawn is in an Allied database. The PCs are then briefed about Alpha Dawn. If…
I made this world for some campaign but I can’t really remember what campaign. I think it was for Star Wars d20. I believe it was the homeworld of this race – the slaresk.
