Hello all,

I'm new here and mostly play games other than Star Frontiers.  However, a few months ago, I ran a Star Frontiers game to play test the game for a review in a column called "Lost Game Safari" for Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  I had a great time playing "Crash on Volturnus" with people who had played little except 4th Edition D&D.  The journal can be found here:

You'll have to pan down or check out the archives as it was back in July 2009.  There are quite a few details as I audio record all my game sessions now.

In June of 1004 A.D., the small group brought the lost Brother Drake back to life, though the man fled from the priory in Murkwell where he was resurrected.  What becomes of Brother Drake that fateful night?

On May 22, I ran another online game of Call of Cthulhu, this time Cthulhu Dark Ages, as we learn what happened to Brother Drake after he fled from Murkwell Priory.

In the spring of 1877, three men arrived in the village of Saltmarsh in Washington Territory. Each of them had goals and aspirations of their own, but they would soon be thrown together by the strange events that surrounded that isolated town on the Pacific coast. Soon, others joined them.

On May 25, we continued the Down Darker Trails campaign online, tentatively named Pacific Northwest Fears. We're starting off using the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons scenario "The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh" as well as the D&D campaign "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" adapted to Call of Cthulhu in the American west.

This session saw the investigators spend a few rainy days in Saltmarsh, meeting new people and hearing some of the strange rumors prevalent in the town.

I'm calling dibs on playing Sean Connery's character from "The Name of the Rose"
I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers!

Unfortunately, OBS changed its audios settings for some reason.  As I had no audio of the game session, this entry is merely a summary of what happened to the best of my recollection

In the spring of 1005 A.D., the small group of fugitives stopped in London at the request of Father Paul, who asked them to look in on a servant who was there. They find strange things happening near Bishopsgate in London and decide to do something about it.

On February 1, I ran another online game of Cthulhu Dark Ages, as the investigators head back to England. This was the second session of the original scenario “London in Absentia."

The roleplaying journal of the scenario is here:
