 November 7, 2010 - 4:14pm | The Star frontier's URS rules, though not complete are at the point where they are playable. Currently I have created a text only version of the Core rules (Player's handbook) and will in the next few days do the same with the Administrator's guidebook, and Knighthawks rules (Though I'm still working on sample space stations for the rules). these represent the three core books to the game, and will be available to the project membersl. I also have a completed Zebulon's guide to Frontier animals which I'll send out as well when its ready. There is still a lot of work however to be done with the various supplements I have been planning. These include the following: The Expanded Frontier guidebook (Still missing alien races, mechs, and robots, though mutation, and Psionics are in there already) Zebulon's guides to: Creatures of the Frontier (there are going to be at least 3 volumes of these) Aberrations and creatures from beyond Frontier Space Robots of the Frontier Vehicles of the Frontier Frontier Space (detailing many Frontier Worlds) Races from beyond the Frontier And adventures....We must have adventures. Anyone in the group should feel free to contribute to any of these once they understand the core mechanics of the system which players of 3rd Edition D&D may find some similarities to, but alot of it is very different. Of course anyone with questions about the rules should feel free to ask and we can go over them, and maybe change things if we come up with something that works better, then what I've got in there.

November 8, 2010 - 9:03am | A quick update, the Core rules, and Administrator's guidebook are in the Downloads section, and possibly at some point today I'll have the Knighthawks rules and the Zebulon's guide to animals of the Frontier up there as well. This should give members of the team enough information to work with, and or to play the game with if they so desire. As this is a constantly evolving project If there's anything in the rules as they stand that you feel should be addressed, clarified or changed to something better lets discuss it and try to come up with something better. (I'm currently trying to rework Spaceship's DR (Defensive ratings because I feel the to hit numbers can get impossibly high but when I correct that problem, I'll post a new version of Knighthawks with the corrections) "Hey guys I wonder what this does"-Famous last words "Hey guys, I think it's friendly." -Famous last words "You go on ahead, I'll catch up." -Famous last words "Did you here that?" -Famous last words |
November 8, 2010 - 5:10pm | Like I promised the corrected Knighthawks guidebook and the Zebulon's guide to Frontier animals are now available for download to those members of the project who want them. With the exception of the expanded universe book, which I'll try to get put soon, All the basic rulebooks needed to play the game and/or understand the rules are now available. If you have any questions, or anything that you'd like to improve on, or want to discuss, by all means lets do so.

 November 22, 2010 - 7:41pm | Even though this is a work in progress you could submit an article about the project to the magazine or an advertisement. I'll keep the fun ads in the back of the magazine but I could put ads in the main body of the magazine. Just a thought, maybe I'll put one in for my project. :-) |
January 28, 2011 - 11:13am | As those of you who have glanced over at the Downloads page will notice version 4.0 of the rules have vanished. This is because in a very short while Version 4.5 will make its appearance. This version is a big improvement over version 4.0 and will be available in PDF form, with word versions available only via Private message or E-mail requests. I'm hoping that when version 4.5 is released that we can ramp up interest in this project, and perhaps those of you who decide to give these rules a go might want to share your insights, comments, experiences, ideas and hopefully submissions to help this project grow. I want to take the time once again to thank w00t who has nudged me forward with this project and has taken time out from his busy schedule to look at the work, comment and offer advice, and if it wasn't for him these rules would probably still be sitting on my hard drive, as just another project created by a frustrated storyteller, and amature game designer. It is my wish that these rules bring someone other than me some fun, and that they might jump start other's imagination, and maybe others will add this game to the games they play or might be inspired to create material for this version of Star Frontiers. Well, it's back to work for me on these rules, and in a few days these rules will be available to you all, they'll still be a little rough around the edges but that's part of the charm of Classic RPG's which these rules hopefully reflect. I hope you guys enjoy them.
