Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
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…
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…
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…
At one point, I was thinking of expanding beyond the “Pure Strain Human” of Star Frontiers and develop transhuman rules. For instance, it is said that the human today (21st Century) uses only 10% of their brain. What if in the Frontier, they found ways to expand that and it mean more than just mentalist…
This is something I wrote in trying to integrate the Frontier into the [Sovereignty] setting. This does not really jive to the new timeline where I replaced the Terran Empire with my own Terran Expanse, however. When I had to re-write things to take out all references to a certain RPG, things began to really…
One of my favorite story arches from my version of Star Frontiers is the Highbreed story. It started as a revamped version of the Eleanor Moraes adventure. Here is some of the notes I wrote to form this adventure. I used the Eleanor Moraes adventure as an outline for this adventure , borrowing the maps, etc. This…
Of course, this was based on one of the most memorable pieces done Larry E., the cover for Gammer World (can’t remember what edition). I found it in an old Dragon magazine I had and cut it out (before the internet). Still have the cut out. I debated back and forth whether to write in…
The Entrance Tunnel, combined with the rain, makes for a wild ride down a long nud slide deep into the underground caverns. (see Map above). At the bottom, a passage leads into the ruins of an old Terran Empire era research facility. There are several chambers that they PCs will have to go through to…
These were created after I started using the Zebulon’s Guide to Frontier Space. Drawings were scanned in from originals on notebook paper. Not my best work, of course, but just getting the concept across. Some are stat’ed out and others not so much. Never really saw the need to fully stat everything out. I also imagined…
As part of my early adventuring, I used an old Twilight 2000 adventure called Gateway to the Spanish Main as the basis for a Time/Dimensional travel adventure in Star Frontiers, linked to the Stellar Dragon/Jedi campaign plot (time travel possible through the Black Hole dragon). This is a vague plot and a series of encounter tables…
