 February 2, 2012 - 8:15pm | I'm considering starting a project for people to post their own SF settings. That is, if you made your own version of the SF setting (not so much new rule set - which there is plenty of around here - but new worlds, maps, races and backgrounds compatible to the core SF rules), then you can post your notes and maps there. I do not know if there is already a project covering this, or if there is any interest in creating or playing alternative SF settings. If this is not already covered, then anyone interested? |
 February 2, 2012 - 8:43pm | Sounds like a good idea. Kind of a 'frontier development project'. I've been posting stuff about the adventure I am developing out on a google site (because I can edit it on my mobile during really boring meetings) : https://sites.google.com/site/stariumx/home Eventually when it's complete enough I'd want to post it somewhere here. |
 February 2, 2012 - 8:49pm | AZ_ Gamer has a few projects that he started to work on his own setting creations Deryn_rys has a project that is both setting and rules Shadow has Adverntures in History which is an alternate setting, technically I've been playing at locating all the cannon material, examine and evaluate it and then extrapolate more detail, sometimes by collaboration and sometimes by myself. That activity has gone on in the Zebs G expanded project, General forums and then finally I started the Hitchhikers Guide to the Frontier project to house that stuff in an easily accessed location. Hitchhikers is explicitly for canon setting but then my work is not strictly canon as I use what would have to be called an alternate timeline and its worked into everything I write. My feeling is this, each setting ought to have its own project as lumping all the possible alternate/fan created settings together in one project will lead to them getting lost in the confussion. Not everyone joins every project and I think peeps join what their interested in so if you had an interest in one of AZ_Gamer's settings you could join that project and easily view everything to do with it in one spot. Also some people, I suspect prefer to do their own thing and they will do just that with a separate project. Well thats my 2 cents each setting should have its own spot. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 February 4, 2012 - 5:54pm | My primary setting project is a science fiction universe called Titan Rising which is based on a long running campaign my high school era Star Frontiers game group created in the late 1980's when it became evident that TSR was done with SF. |
