Now I am planning to make this entire project into a series of articles for the Star Frontiersman. It is totally about how to adventure and GM outside of the Frontier/known space.

Here are some things that you need to look at:

What star systems are out there?
Are players going to be running into the Sathar?
Are there going to be more space faring races?
What new worlds are there going to be for you to explore?
And so on (add more that you would like to see)

we need a map, something simple to start. maybe work off SS's stuff or build or own?
ask in Game Talk if anyone has resources / maps

totally. or can they? Money mouthSmile

I would say waaaay out there. if there were races close to the Frontier that had space flight
we would know. :-)

what about exploratory missions - sponsored by the UPF that "lend" a ship to crew's that want to search for (but no engage) Sathar presence or left over bases?

Yeah that works. That stays with the original material (how TSR expanded the known space) and it also gives some opportunities for getting some adventures out there for people.

How detailed do you want to be providing adventures for others?
1. Articles with high-level outlines of planned encounters ( I do this for sfman)
2. Full module (takes at least two months of solid work, art and cruft)

I say we leave the modules to Fist Full of Credits or Adventures for Imagination. Lets just work on producing some material for people to add to their gaming. Then maybe we'll work on a module.

Could someone summarize for me what work has been "decided upon" thus far? :)
