There were 6 parts in total that I had published here.  I have taken them all and did a little editing. This article takes the edits that I did for the first 4 that went into the Frontier Explorer Issue 11 magazine (also here as a free pdf), and other parts […]

Though fantasy roleplaying is by far the most popular genre in the world, aquatic settings can be used in modern, science fiction, science fantasy, space opera, horror, alt history, name your favorite genre and as long as oceans exist, an underwater adventure is waiting. Since the start of the 21st Century, I’ve come across numerous articles, […]

I stated first with a creature that you should find interesting.  It is really big and scary, 65 feet long, and is able to hide and sneak attack the player characters.  It was the Slither, so I tweaked it a bit, but kept the same flavor. I first started by using the Purple Worm layout, but soon found ideas from […]

Previously there was some criticism for the D&D 5th edition conversion not being true to the original Star Frontiers.  I did take a lot of liberties with the races and their special abilities, and I did use information from several sources. So, while I worked on updates to […]

While working on it I have put together one of the other player races, and here is a peek at what I have drafted together for the Mechanon: Mechanon Mechanons are roughly humanoid sentient robots. Their brains are made of various-colored crystals that form an artificially intelligent storage and computing device; a technology unknown but much sought after by the other races. Their […]

Especially if the bad guys show up, and start trouble.   Or maybe, they get inside the ship and it takes off, and transports them […]
