 October 16, 2009 - 7:47pm | Love it or hate but Iron Crown Enterprises Space Master game has some great module titles: (I was surfing ebay looking for a deal) War on a Distant Moon Disaster on Adanus III Tales from Deep Space Beyond the Core Action On Akaisha Outstation Cygnus Conspiracy Raiders from the Frontier Imperial Crisis Lost Telepaths Legacy of the Ancients There's a lot of alliteration in that list or the title really catches your imagination. Some of the titles jump out and get the old GM's brain going. Like War on a Distant Moon. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 October 17, 2009 - 8:17am | yeah. I had alot of fun with Space Master. THe adventures are pretty decent. I think they would translate well, but you just have to watch the tech level. The critical hit tables are great. I break out the books every now and again to see if I can adapt the crit charts to SF. Time flies when your having rum. Im a government employee, I dont goof-off. I constructively abuse my time. |

 October 17, 2009 - 10:01am | Sounds cool Jedion. Are you gonna get some of 'em? I had the opportunity to play Rolemaster with a guy that wrote for I.C.E. I really liked Rolemaster. When we played Spacemaster the system didn't translate well to a space game in my opinion. Way too campy for my taste... Might be a good resource to get adventure ideas for SF though. At least I got to scare an alien rabbit thingy...... |
October 17, 2009 - 4:09pm | I'd like to return to some of my tetrach ideas eventually so I think I'll pick up Legacy of the Ancients as a reference work. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

The Space Master background, I think, tried to meld several different Space Empire themes into one, and it kind of succeeded, and kind of didn't.
