 October 26, 2010 - 4:24pm | Just a thought but could the star Frontier's Clikks really be the same creatures as in Alternity (Another TSR product) in which case it would be feasable to expand the frontier using the Star Drive game system. I saw a Frontiersman article that presented the Alternity races in Star Frontier's terms (great article by the way) and perhaps the Klikks and the other externals are the tetriarch societies that were mentioned in zebs guide. I've always seen Star Drive as sort of TSR's attempt to bring Star Frontiers into Alternity, what with the verge being just an expanded version of the Rim and all. I know that there's a wealth of Alternity material floating around, and someone actually made conversions for Star Frontiers to Alternity, so I'm sure that it could also be used to turn Alternity characters to Star frontier's stats. Imagine if beyond the great expanse lies the Concord and the other sphere's of control, just waiting for the human's of the Frontier to come bac to the fold. Has anyone else thought about this?

I agree that the "Alternate Frontiers" article is a very good one. It fleshes out the core four races and even names the home planet of the Vrusk. I do feel, however that the campaign setting of the Alternaty game is at a higher level of tech than the standard frontier. Perhaps the setting is simply a hundred or more years further along than SF. Reasonable men adapt to the world around them; unreasonable men make the world adapt to them.

It would be kind of cool to imagine the Sathar ticking off the Klikks, and having to come running to the Frontier begging for help because they angered the one of the founders. Or having a Frontier ship misjump into the Verge and the Yazirians aboard ticking off a group of Werren. Hell it might even be that the Klicks deposited the Humans in the Frontier to see how they would evolve far away from Sol. Adding Star Drive into the Frontier raises a lot of interesting possibilities...(must think more about this...)
