 October 11, 2011 - 3:11pm | Got to say that the trade goods and commodities article is my fav. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 October 11, 2011 - 6:07pm | Let me know if you find the larger deck plans of the Streel Corvette useful. I can make smaller images freeing up a page of two from more content (I'm keeping each issue at <88 pages). I enjoyed everyone's contributions and I can't wait to test some of the NPC in the Star Law Intelligence Reports (I converted them to Bare Bones). :-) ...I think we should make more, don't you?
Finally... Single Evil Genius SEG is awesome! I'm using that one for my setting. :-) Next issue I'll introduce their counterpart, the greenies. |
October 11, 2011 - 6:21pm | I got that from Dawson Logos' blog, not sure if he did it or not but someone spent some time remastering and cleaning that up.. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 October 11, 2011 - 7:22pm | Just in time for a nice 17 hour flight. -iggy |
October 14, 2011 - 7:39pm | More discussion here; Refer to: SFMN 17 Casualty System Article |
October 17, 2011 - 10:39am | Whoo Hoo! just got my copy of issue 17 in the mail from lulu! sweet. much better quality than taking the PDF to Staples to be printed. Nice glossy card stock cover. One downer is that the entire body of the issue is in black and white making some are a little dark. The art in the casualty article is a casualty of that. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
October 17, 2011 - 11:15am | I tried rolling on the book and adventure title table for a new title for an adventure and came up with #67: The Sacred Comet of Love. Not sure that that is the adventure I want to write though. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 October 17, 2011 - 12:00pm | Unrequited love between an ifsnit and a humma as they race towards a comet that is threatening to destroy a major Frontier world...and you don't want to write that adventure? "Hey guys I wonder what this does"-Famous last words "Hey guys, I think it's friendly." -Famous last words "You go on ahead, I'll catch up." -Famous last words "Did you here that?" -Famous last words |
October 17, 2011 - 12:47pm | Nope. Pairing the words sacred and love does an immediate word association in my mind with sacred prostitutes in ancient Greece. So unless the comet is a religious brothel in a system called Xanadu, I probably don't want to write it or contemplate it. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
October 17, 2011 - 1:12pm | Perhaps the comet marks the high holydays for the humma, and the time when they procreate, and the adventure revolves around a plot by the Sathar to destroy the comet in an attempt to cause the Humma to stop procreating, and the characters must find a way to stop the latest Sathar doomsday device before the Sathar suceed.

October 17, 2011 - 1:23pm | I was in love with a C.O.M.E.T. once. Until I found out she had floppy disks! I used to go out with a security x-ray machine, but she saw right thru me! |
October 17, 2011 - 4:42pm | Just finished reading the gun laws article - well written, I might have quibbled over a minor point but on the whole it's a good article. Note to self: any future planetary briefs should have a note on weapons laws. Strangely though, race was not considered. I would postulate that yazirians are more lax. EDIT: I think the Big Hunt story is one of the best bits of fiction to hit the zine. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 October 18, 2011 - 7:11pm | Jedion, thanks for the kind words. I really didn't know how it would be received since I mixed in a little Lovecraftian theme. I'm glad it made it to the October issue. |

October 18, 2011 - 8:41pm | Everything that has transpired has done so according to my design. This issue of the fanzine is quite safe from your pitiful little band. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them. Oh, I'm afraid the w00t shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive. Cackle, cackle, cackle.  |

 October 28, 2011 - 5:11pm | I know evil, and I've never seen W00T at any of 'em. Not that I am, mind you, just infiltrating... "If we knew what we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?" -A Einstein |
October 29, 2011 - 6:08am | Does evil acts/programming make a robot evil? Is Baralou the cybot from Bugs In the System evil? Nah, it was the Matrix protecting itself. If you program a toaster to explode when used its not evil toaster. Robot toasters who can learn and then kill are not evil. It's just flawed programming |
 October 29, 2011 - 7:19pm | That's scary. That's like saying because I'm human and humans are flawed, I'm not at fault for anything I do. Yeesh. Looks like we have a robot in need of dismantling.

October 29, 2011 - 8:32pm | I guess a robot that is sentient ( self aware ) could be evil. |

October 29, 2011 - 10:27pm | I guess a robot that is sentient ( self aware ) could be evil. Ohhh. Caveats, gotta love 'em... Where's my tech kit? Screw it. I got my disruptor. Same result. Different effect. Less work. Less mess. Heeerrre robie, robie... Just for the record I'm un-self-aware. In that case, this won't hurt a bit...

November 1, 2011 - 9:46am | Just to prove I'm not that evil... I wanted to apologize to William Douglass and Thomas Verreault for not crediting them in this issue. I was trying to fit Tom Stephens patch/logo and removed the gray credit box.  William and jedion357 did an excellent job of editing/layout/art for #17. We'll have an awesome #18 for you where you'll learn the truth about jedio.... the sathar. ;-) |
 November 11, 2011 - 11:14am | Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have so looking forward to this issue. Great job! And thank you for the beautiful artwork for my articles; better than I had imagined! I look forward to working on more in the future! Long live the Frontier! |

Well, get busy, cause I've lined up the content for the next 1.5 issues and we'll need more soon. SPEAKING OF WHICH, an issue next year will have a little KHs theme, and we can use adventures fiction, locations, deck plan's, etc, new race submissions won't see the light of day for a while as we're good for like the next 5 issues. Yazirian oriented content is good too.I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

You are welcome, You are welcome, You are welcome! Thank Shell for the artwork, the guy rocks (along with CJ, Wayne, GJD, Scott, Ryan, Bill, Chris, etc). I'll say it again, ARTWORK really makes the issue stand out. it's an imagination booster. |

November 11, 2011 - 3:18pm | Well, we have 18 set for content. 19 has about 90% of its content and 20 is at maybe 40-50% content. Art is critical as always. but my arse kissing at deviant art has paid off a little. so things look good, so far. Note CGI art needs to be lighter as dark images print very dark on the printer or through Lulu. We have a staff member who has gone crazy dropping material into layout. Editing is always what it is. Terl's Offered to do some more. Issue 18 is going to rock your socks! Have I mentioned that before? A Big secret gets revealed after 30 years. I'm so excited!!!!!!!!!!! I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
