How's everything?

Enjoying your Games Diner meal? Is the wait staff attentive? Is the chef bathed? (Then it must be a Sunday.) You do know that a little eggshell in the French toast adds calcium, right?

If the cramps haven't set in yet, I hope you'll say Hi to the chef or check out the many ways you can contribute to the Diner.

Now eat. Eat up! You're as thin as a rail.

More Star Frontiers goodness

Posted Sun, 2010-03-07 15:10 by tbone

Ooh, here's an accomplishment most trivial: This site's Star Frontiers to GURPS 4e Conversion Notes page ranks #1 on a Google search for "star frontiers gurps". That just might be my first first ever.

There's even more Dralasite-steeped goodness out there than I realized, though. Check out Star Frontiersman Magazine, a slick-looking magazine of all-new fan material, plus remastered versions of all the original books. That's some serious fandom at work!

For the GURPSters, there's another conversion page out there, GURPS Star Frontiers Conversion, a PDF that starts with this site's conversion but makes changes where the author disagrees. (What items those would be, I don't know; I don't see who made the conversion.)

Those links are now on my conversion page. Hasbro has allowed the Star Frontiers downloads, or so I've heard repeatedly, so both original book PDFs and the remastered goodies appear kosher. Whether you play GURPS, another system, or are open to SF's own rules, it's a full space opera setting ready for the taking. Enjoy!

THE TAKEOUT MENU: Flyaway Missives from T Bone's Games Diner
#002, December 29 2006

Hello again, kind readers and collaborators. This issue, slipping in just before the new year: site news, and the previously-promised oddball request. (It's a request for melee weapon data; and if you say "what's so oddball about that?", then you must be a gamer.)

===SITE NEWS===

The new site appearance looks best on Firefox. If you're on IE (bless your patient soul), and you see a tan horizontal line running between the black and green areas at the top of the page, and you'd like to take a crack at the CSS to eliminate that line, please let me know. Read more...

Gnarly! It's Dralasites, Vrusk, Yazirians and more, straight from the day-glo '80s – er, from the farflung future, I mean. If you've got old leftovers from old Star Frontiers games, or are new to TSR's vintage sci-fi setting, here's your guide to converting Star Frontiers materials and characters into a GURPS game.
