 March 11, 2009 - 9:54am | There was a WW2 movie of Jame Coburn as an American pilot? and a Japanese soldier alone on an island who though enemies become friends It was reprised in Enemy Mine as a sci-fi movie. So how would you approach this as Star Frontiers adventure? It would certainly work for 1 GM and 1 player situation. A sathar and one of the PC races? Sathar hynotizes the PC and then they get along as friends! Not much fun for the PC. for that to work as a game you'd have to eliminate the possibility of an easy kill by both sides- no ammo for lasers and autopistols the PC would have to have an effective defense against hypnotic effects or a very high ability that would make it easy for him to resist. You'd have to have a seriously dangerous enviroment to force them to work together to survive. Or would this work better with say a mechanon? or some other race? EDIT: I also think you'd have to have some well developed ideas about the NPCs culture to give the game the right flavor- that said the sathar might be impossible for this- I cant really imagine much in the way of culture for them. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
