Nice to see that there is some activity here yet. Hoping there is a way to play online? gameroom perhaps? if so, how do I join a game? could also use the rules, lost mine over the last 20+ years (haven't played since 1987). I tried the downloads site but keep getting a "page can not be found" message. Just an error? downloads being updated? been removed? big brother blocking their distibution? anyhow, would love to get involved. Hope to hear soon.

Yes, starfrontiers.com is your place for the original rules. For a game, Imperial Lord is starting a new one called 'All That Glitters' and is looking for more players and I think Shadow Shack is trying to get 'Basically Speaking' going again as well. Those are both played "live" in the game room via chat. In addition, I'll be starting a new play by post campaign shortly (next week or two). For a list of other ongoing games that I know about check out http://starfrontiers.blogspot.com/2008/02/online-campaigns.html. Some of these games are still alive and may be taking new players.

Hail and welcome!  'All That Glitters' will hopefully be moving soon, and I know the 'Basically Speaking' game was a big hit.  You could also start a new game, if you're feeling froggy.  (Vrusky?)

Since we have yet to start, you are welcome to roll up your own character for All That Glitters, or use one of those provided by bioreplica or Terlobar (Benster and Alfrood).

Yes, feel free to take mine if you want it. I don't expect to be able to coordinate my time well enough to play all that much (my schedule is just to crazy at the moment) and don't mind giving up the character.

Wouldn't that be buggy?

By the way, howdy, BD, welcome to the site.

Belated welcome to the revival site!

Check out the Online SF Gaming project, and the links section as well.

I'm fixing to fire up an all new (well, relaunch of a game that died a couple years ago) Play By Post forum game. Details coming soon.
