SpaceButter May 20, 2021 - 12:58pm | ./rolls intuition I suspect you play Zeb's behind closed doors in a dimly lit room with paper dice.... |
Shadow Shack May 20, 2021 - 1:20pm | You rolled high. Check the sig. |
jedion357 May 23, 2021 - 3:21am | I suspect you play Zeb's behind closed doors in a dimly lit room with paper dice.... People playing with paper dice are usually in prison- dice are banned as gambling impliments, inmates make them out of paper. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
Shadow Shack May 24, 2021 - 6:12am | Ah, so it wasn't an intuition roll, rather an institution roll. |
KRingway May 27, 2021 - 10:49pm | I still use AD/KH and mix in content from Zeb's - skills and equipment usually. It's been pretty easy converting the latter to the former. |
jedion357 May 28, 2021 - 4:38am | I suppose if I was in prison I would simply play Traveller as wadding up wet toilet papper to make a cube is the easiest die to make. A 2d6 system would be easy enough to fudge together for fantasy as well. The TSR box sets proved that you dont need a lot of rules to run a fun game ie B/X and Star Frontiers I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
jacobsar June 8, 2021 - 7:33pm | I have been using a modified Top Secret SI ruleset with modifications to get it closer to the original AD rules. I like the "rolw percentile and the ten digit is damage and the ones is location" system TS uses. Reasonable men adapt to the world around them; unreasonable men make the world adapt to them. The world is changed by unreasonable men. Edwin Louis Cole |
Imperial Lord June 24, 2021 - 6:52pm | Hey guys! How's it going? Have you guys been following the craziness with the new "TSR" and the "re-release"? |
jedion357 June 25, 2021 - 2:18pm | Hey guys! How's it going? Have you guys been following the craziness with the new "TSR" and the "re-release"? Hello Imperial Lord! yeah going for a wait and see attitude with that. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
Imperial Lord June 25, 2021 - 2:51pm | Pretty crazy seeing how WizBro dealt with us all those years. Man, the stonewalling! |
Shadow Shack June 29, 2021 - 3:22am | Ah, you speak of "We have rights to the name but not the rest of the game"? Yeah, not holding my breath for that one. Still hoping for the best, yet not focusing all faith on it either. |

Ah, you speak of "We have rights to the name but not the rest of the game"? Yeah, not holding my breath for that one. Still hoping for the best, yet not focusing all faith on it either. I deleted my "let's wait and see" letter about them . Once they invoked a comparison of the sh!t storm they started to the Satanic panic of the 80's I was done. As a Christian I get to deal with the lingering bs of the "satanic panic" even just a few years ago I told someone I write for an RPG magazine and their response was "isn't that evil". Enough already, and these whahoos have to bring that up again as a defense of their boneheaded ness? Then try to pretend they didn't cause the sh!t storm they brought down on their own heads? Total disservice to the fan community. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
Shadow Shack July 1, 2021 - 11:03pm | I deleted my "let's wait and see" letter about them . I was looking for that the other day. I think Tom wiped his parallel post as well as I couldn't find that one either. Funny thing...the thread at the Dragonsfoot forum also got shut down. It would seem that re-TSR is quickly becoming the big social media pariah. Truth be told I wasn't following any of that closely, just picking up bits and pieces from the facebook group from time to time. |

Truth be told I wasn't following any of that closely, just picking up bits and pieces from the facebook group from time to time. I just read an evenly reported article on the anatomy of the melt down i.e. it did not have biased tone, about TSR (top secret NWO) distancing itself from TSR (the dumpster fire) and that article reported that LaNasa (at the dumpster fire) ran in an election just recently and that his opponent turned up a video (that has now been deleted) of LaNasa making two employees wrestle in a tub of grits for the title of "head shop girl" at his tatoo parlor. Needless to say LaNasa didn't win. I've not confirmed this as I dont want to watch something as degrading at that but I find that bit of news very troubling and consistent with the worst behavior I've heard reported from him during this recent cluster screw up they've had.

Shadow Shack July 2, 2021 - 9:12pm | I saw a few tidbits mentioned of LaNasa's run for office on several facebook groups. He got kicked/banned from at least one of the groups for trolling along with chirping at mods & admins (the latter being the most efficient way to get kicked, not to mention the former is always a good way as well). IIRC he either owns or runs a gaming hobby shop that is affiliated with the new relaunch of TSR, but he isn't helping EGG Jr (regardless of which side you stand on with Jr's antics). Needless to say these few bits & pieces I've been picking up have not helped my outlook on a new Star Frontiers game. |
JCab747 July 17, 2021 - 5:38pm | Hi everyone. Sorry I've been away dealing with a plethora of real world stuff... and still am. I've followed some of the new TSR drama by watching the YouTube channel Clownfish TV, such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jodtu9Z2_8Y I suspect that a certain gaming company on the coast is behind some of this canceling effort. But that's all I will say about that for now. I wish to keep politics and current day social controversies out of gaming. Anyway, I hope to reengage here and by writing some stories for the magazine. Best regards to everyone. Joe Cabadas |
