![]() January 10, 2009 - 11:07pm | I my campaign I create magazines with a nice full color image and common real world title tweaked for the setting (Play Robot, Popular Technology, or Frontier Ordinance) with some photocopies of new equipment form Star Frontiersman or Zebs (campaign started only with AD equipment available) and some times some fluff or even a game "clue". They're just props but I felt it would be fun to have the new toys kind of like James Bond getting his new toys at the start of an adventure. and by handing out an interesting mag the players usually look it over. I'd share my files but at the time I just went out on the net and found pics that i thought I'd like. So while I've only used it in my gaming group its probably not legal to show here. None the less there's been 2 instalments of Fronteir Ordance: The Magazine for Mercenaries and one of Popular Technology and i have a Play Robot which even has a centerfold all made up to be found at a pirate outpost. I think when the campaign ends I'll do a yellow journalism sheet something like The Stellar Enquirer: Enquirering Species Want to Know and poke a little fun at the PCs biggest screw ups. maybe even using that article on the FRontier News Network about the Sathar being peacefull and blaming the PCs & eorna for the battle of Volturnus. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

![]() December 6, 2010 - 12:22pm | 2 groups; one group folded up after only 1 and the other group is stalled (maybe permenently) so thus fare 2 groups with only 1 mag each hard to tell if it was worth it. Though at this rate it might be the kiss of death- ![]() I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
