Seek the Wolf in Thyself!
T. Glenn Bane and Davey Beauchamp are two dynamic and energetic individuals I have had the pleasure to get to know in my years of running cons. It was at one of these cons that they gave away an opportunity to have a character named after you at one of our charity auctions. As it turns out, my name was one of those names placed in the book – as the alter ego of a young sidekick hero named Aegis Lad! So when it went up on Kickstarter, I had to support it.
Future idea: With the new sci-fi setting, The Last Parsec, I am really considering moving my SDF setting to that. Much of it can be converted as much of it is inspired by Star Frontiers. I just to convert a few races. The Weren might be a challenge but maybe somebody did that. May post my notes…
Kontamination is a new RPG Adventure/One Shot from Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. When I try to run a published adventure, I sometimes find myself asking if the adventure was written with the GM in mind. For me, it’s important to convey the story of the adventure to the players in the most succinct and clear fashion with minimal page turning and book diving as possible. However, not everyone retains the same information at the same rate and every GM is different. So what is the way to best write an adventure? Keep it as simple as possible in terms of wording and stat blocking, and make key aspects of the adventure easy to reference if at all possible.

At one point, my players got ahold of Federanium armor from an alien race, the Shri’ik. The overall story arch of this campaign was that this alien race knew how to forge Federanium, using Psionics. They decided to convert the armor into powered armor. I never really gave them stats of the armor but it…
I found more content that I plan to post here. Some by me, some by friends including some stuff by John Reavis.
From: Gypsy Knights GamesReviewed by: Ron McClung 21 Plots: Samaritan is a new RPG Supplement from Gypsy Knights Games. I have used Plot seeds from Traveller before, either as inspiration for a one-shot or for a launching of a campaign. I have not only used them in Traveller, but also Star Frontiers, Shatterzone and Star Wars. These books are…
From: Gypsy Knights Games Reviewed by: Ron McClung Clement Sector Player’s Guide is a RPG Supplement from Gypsy Knights Games. The Clement sector setting continues to be supported by the fine group of people at Gypsy Knights and I have been really impressed with this settings resilience as well as the writers’ dedication to the…
Once again, JustUs Productions was asked to do gaming at ConGregate, a small and growing sci-fi convention in North Carolina. At its core, ConGregate is made up of a lot of experienced people from a con called StellarCon, which they ran for many years. StellarCon was eventually handed over to a new group of people, primarily based out of UNC-Greensboro and has since collapsed from poor leadership and management. Although scheduled during a different time of the year, ConGregate is picking up from the ashes of that con and reigniting fandom in the Triad area.
At one point, I got ahold of a cheap copy of a game called Lords of Creation by Avalon Hill. It was a pretty crappy game with a pretty hoaky concept but I thought it would be fun to create a Star Frontiers version of it. This is an rough draft of some of the work…
