 December 4, 2008 - 9:29am | heh heh. That would be cool. Best option would be to contact the artist or WOTC, see if they still have promotional posters of some kind. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |
 December 4, 2008 - 9:46am | Which cover? The original box, and the books inside, didn't have the big purple border and the picture filled the entire page (and didn't carry the Alpha Dawn desgination, it was just Star Frontiers). The second printing had the purple borders around the pictures to mimic the KH set and did carry the AD designation. I have originals of both and could try to scan them (my scanner isn't in the best of shape being over 10 years old). The newer version is in better shape as it is the original version I've used and abused over the years. Also, are the scans in the PDF versions of the rules on starfrontiers.com not good enough? That would be the first place I'd look. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 December 4, 2008 - 10:01am | I guess I'm looking for the original picture without the border. You know with the burning shuttle and the girl and dude and the Yaz. At least I got to scare an alien rabbit thingy...... |
 December 4, 2008 - 10:16am | I'd love to get a copy of that scan too! I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 4, 2008 - 1:35pm | I'll see if I can coax my scanner into life. I assume you want the higher quality one from the Expanded rules instead of the inital concept from the Basic Rules.

December 4, 2008 - 2:09pm | Yep that's the one... At least I got to scare an alien rabbit thingy...... |
December 4, 2008 - 3:55pm | Okay, I really need to get a new scanner . Anyway. Here is a 200dp scan that I've cleaned up a little to remove some of the striping caused by my scanner. Unfortunately, there is way too much blue (an artifact of the scanner) and I've never figured out how to fix the color balance. If any of you are wizards at that type of stuff, give it a whirl. The image in the previous post is pretty true to the true printed colors so if you can match that you'll be golden. Those stripes down the side of the image are supposed to be royal purple. The file is pretty large, about 7.5MB. EnjoyStar Frontiers Expanded Game Rule cover art. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

December 4, 2008 - 4:14pm | Hey Thanks Terl. I'll Photoshop it a bit. It should work out. At least I got to scare an alien rabbit thingy...... |
 December 14, 2008 - 10:14pm | Were you able to photoshop it to its original condition? Do you mind posting it back up? Two Gencons ago, I asked Larry Elmore if he planned to sell the original of it - he said he wanted to, but while it was in storage at TSR, someone had put another picture against it and the warehouse got water it in (or something like that), so that a portion of the bottom got damaged. He was going to see if he could fix it back up though - I told him should he do so, I wanted to buy it from him. I'll let you all know if that were ever to happen! -Andrew |
December 28, 2008 - 7:44pm | My wish came true. I got a new scanner/printer/copier/fax for Christmas and rescanned the AD cover image. You can download the new, rescanned image from my server. It is scanned at 200dpi and reproduces the original colors much,much better. Also, I didn't do any descreening or such, this is the raw image off the scanner and is 9MB in size. The scuff marks are still there as this book has been in use for over 2 decades but it is mostly on the margins which should be cleanable. If you'd like a higher resolution version let me know and I'll scan it in. Ad Astra Per Ardua!
