 December 24, 2011 - 6:49pm | One of my buds wants to get our Star Frontiers Voltrunus adventure going again for Christmas. We have not played in quite a while and one of the blockers for me was that the encounter we were playing used the forest map and AD counters. Well, I lost the counters years ago so I was using paper printed copies of the counter from an excel sheet of counters I found on one of the SF sites. Problem with these is that they are paper thin and hard to pick up or keep in place. A slight wind in the room would blow the counters all over. Then worse yet, keeping the counters in place until the next game session a week later was a pain. Well, the game session kept getting delayed and eventually the pieces were knocked all over the place. My solution to get the game going again is shown here. I purchased some 1/4 inch magnet tape, cut 1/4 inch pieces and stuck the paper counters to them and put a copy of the AD box map on a metal plate. Now I am safe from wind and game delays, plus I can easily pick the counters up like the original box set counters. -iggy |

We discover a galactic community filled with multiple species of aliens, and the first thing we think about is "how can we have sex with them?".~ anymoose, somewhere on the net... so... if you square a square it becomes a cube... if you square a cube does it become an octoid? |

December 26, 2011 - 1:17pm | Great idea...but please tell me you didn't cut up your Port Loren map.  Oh the sacrilege! My Port Loren map is in dire shape as it is. I stuck it on a color copy machine. We realy need PDFs of the back of the map for inclusion in the remastered Voltrunus modules. -iggy |
December 26, 2011 - 9:07pm | The map is scanned as part of the PDF download on the starfrontiers.com site. Although I probably should rescan one of my pristine maps to make really good ones.
