Born into a noble family, Max was part of a large family with 5 other siblings. Fifth in line to the title, Max knew his destiny would lie elsewhere. Unknown to him, however, there was much more to his bloodline and destiny. Max’s noble family were descended from a line of elves who were once used…

I have been going through my old hand written notes and trying to transcribe them to this web site. Included in these are – Adventures for the main campaign I ran way back when, just after I graduated college. I wrote them in in classic GDW/Traveller BASIC/PUSH/PULL/GIMMICK/ENIGMA format. I highly recommend writing your adventures in…
Adventure: The Hunt & Resurrection
BASICS PCs are sent as general labor/security on an orbital survey mission to a remote planet in the Vextross system, called Vex III. It is a prospect for mining and colonization. They will orbit the planet, drop survey satellites and scan for anything interesting. They goal is to make sure no civilization already exists on…
Depenanger / Dreamshadow Changeling
I envisioned a creature to be an empathic assassin and then turned the pages of the Bestiary. Creature like the penanggalan, the Thin Man, or the Soul Harvester inspired me to create this creature. Once implanted into a host, the creature can use the physiology of the host to shape change into any version of that particular species.
BASICS/PUSH/PULL/GIMMICK/ENIGMA Model
Borrowed from GDW, this set of ideas are a way to abstractly write out an adventure or campaign. On the campaign level, it is very recursive in nature, because the overall campaign can have BASICS/PUSH/PULL/GIMMICk/ENIGMA and within the campaign, there are adventures (usually part of the PUSH or PULL) that themselves have BASICS/PUSH/PULL/GIMMICK/ENIGMA. Within those adventures,…
NPC: Alex Korosh Alamane
Alamane was a cool bad guy that I used to motivate the characters for several linked adventures. This describes the evolution of Alamane through the various adventures. Alamane was born during the peak of the Terran Empire [Terran Expanse] on planet called Sparta. Alamane eventually grew into a very powerful executive of the corporation that…
New Content: Polomegan Campaign
My Second Star Frontiers campaign inspired by Battletech, the future Earth in Terminator, some concepts from the movie Alien Nation
Polomegan Campaign: Random Encounters
These encounter tables are not very detailed (and the details I did write down did not make much sense). I salvaged what I could and made up the rest. I had planned to do “Special” encounter tables but never got around to it. I think the Specials were probably either plot specific required encounters or…
Polomegan Campaign
After buying the box set for Battletech, I wanted to integrate that somehow with an idea I was forming for Star Frontiers (see Battletech Conversion to SF). Stealing the concepts from movies like Alien Nation and Terminator, I created Polomegan, a shared world torn by war. All this combined into an idea for a campaign. The…
Advanced Robotics Rules
This is an unfinished set of advanced robotics rules I started writing late in my journey with Star Frontiers. I never really got finished with them but there may be some value in them. These were written with Zebulons Guide rules in mind. WHAT IS A ROBOT Robots are usually a difficult thing to define…
