 December 4, 2017 - 10:56am | Just priming the pump here in case anyone has an idea they'd like to submit to the zine Issue 23 seems to be shaping up for a Clarion station theme or a derelict ship theme at least thats what it looks like based off of whats in the submission cue. Anyone have something on Clarion station they'd like to put togehter as a quick article in the next couple of weeks. There was some interesting discussion on mechanics of the station's spin and justifying the KHs map of Clarion station against the details in the various canon sources. that could be an article Any other ideas? Quick station layover encounter? Issue 24 seems to be shaping up to a Pirate theme with 2 articles in the WIP stage and Shadow Shack's Dark Shadow's Revenge WoWL 2.0 adventure. So be thinking about pirates in the coming months. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 December 4, 2017 - 2:41pm | I have a Sathar weapons article in the works. I posted a version of it here before but searching through the forums takes a very long time. I've updated it since then and need to create some illustrations. I also need to write up an adventure but that might take a while and need to be split across a few issues. I also have a long article on the Void Drive, plus I need to write up some rules/specifications/costs for artificial gravity systems. |
December 4, 2017 - 2:55pm | We'll take em. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 4, 2017 - 2:57pm | What's the word count limit on any given article? I ask as, if it comes with illustrations, it'd be a fair few pages long. |

Yes, I think I had found that information before I officially joined this site. It was fantastic! You should turn it into an actual story, maybe with some separate statistics for Sathar weapons.

 December 4, 2017 - 4:50pm | There isn't a word limit. I'll make it all fit and I don't mind long articles. Each issue can have up to 45 pages of content and I've put 17 page articles in before. Write it up and submit it and I'll work on the editing and layout. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

 December 4, 2017 - 9:36pm | Have another project I have been working on. Doesn't fit either theme but will but up some of it in another thread and then let group decide its fate. Sounds like a great job but where did you say we had to go? |
December 4, 2017 - 10:42pm | Yes, I think I had found that information before I officially joined this site. It was fantastic! You should turn it into an actual story, maybe with some separate statistics for Sathar weapons. I wasn't sure about the stats, as IIRC Sathar weapons aren't any different to the 'standard' Frontier versions. I will double-check. I was thinking of making them lighter. Anyway, time to do a bit of digging. |

Anyway, time to do a bit of digging. That might be an idea. Its illegal to posess sathar tech as per Star Law so why bother with sathar tech- what will tempt someone to break the law? Well for one thing its lighter. works comperable but is lighter. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 5, 2017 - 9:51am | Please don't worry about a "theme" when making submissions. At best, if there even is a theme for an issue, only about half the articles are related to it. If you have material, just submit it. I'll figure out where best to place it. Ad Astra Per Ardua!

December 5, 2017 - 1:07pm | I only mention themes as its nice to have one and to encpurage submissions in those area. But the reality is if we have 3 articles close in topic we call it a theme. Theres usually 10+ articles. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 December 6, 2017 - 10:30am | Did someone say "pirates"? How about the Dark Tramp pirate frigate and her crew? |
December 6, 2017 - 3:24pm | Did someone say "pirates"? How about the Dark Tramp pirate frigate and her crew? trying to load the pages with the map images now, but yeah wrap it up and submit it or when you finish deck 8 I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 29, 2017 - 8:34am | Okay, I'm putting the finishing touches to my article on Sathar weapons. It runs to about 2600 words. I just have to work on the illustrations now. |
