 February 19, 2012 - 8:30am | In AD we got only the barest of details about the setting but in each module we learned something more and much of what we have learned in the modules has lead to very creative adaptions by the fans. For example Warriors of White Light module gave us a ton of fan created detail about the Royal Marines and etc. Dramune Run gave us the Malthar and etc. The Volturnus Series generated new details in each modular instalment. SO We've really done some amazing work here on the core four (excluding humans) and that information while not always properly codified into a document or magazine article is sitting here as "setting book info". It seems to me that adventures being written ought to take and incorporate some of these details and thus support the expansion of the communities knowledge of the Frontier. For instance the work done on clan structure is very interesting- that yazirians dont really use the nuclear family but more of a wolf pack model for raising children. Or the development of the kha'dan honor weapon. Currently I've been combing through this project looking for material for the new series of articles Called the Yazirian Files and that is certainly a good way to put the information contained here into the hands of the SF community. However, modules and adventures can do that as well and they dont need big write ups on the information, simply state what is and move on to the action in the module. A quick player brief states that since clan structure is a certain way and this clan is reduced in sized to a handful of memebers its looking to hire the PCs to perform service X since it does not have a plethora of warriors to dispatch to fix the situation. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
