ContrarianLooking to refresh the #art in my living room, I found this poster. Doesn't fit my living room's vibe, but it does make me want to play old #scifi #ttrpg like #StarFrontiers. Maybe I'll buy it for my home office.
Seriously, I bought my first box of #StarFrontiers #miniatures at a #ToysRUs. Back in the #80s, toy stores would sell little kids boxes of lead without blinking an eye.

Richard BejtlichHappy #StarFrontiers day! As best I can tell, on this day in 1982 at #GenCon XV, TSR released Star Frontiers. It was the first RPG I played, at about age 10. #rpg #rpgs #ttrpg #ttrpgs #scifi #scifittrpgs

Audrey WinterI haven't forgotten my #StarFrontiers conversions for #StarTrekAdventures , I promise. I've gotten sidetracked by the upcoming #Fallout game (Sunday!) and some entertaining discussions elsenet about other games. I know I'm procrastinating, because I always do, and I apologize.
I've slacked for a few days on #TTRPG reading and my #StarFrontiers conversions for #StarTrekAdventures because my brain has hit overload with all the crap going on and all I want to do is veg out and play games. Sorry.

Balneum Blue: Gnatha Weapons - Hishgraphics
I drew some aquatic biotech ranged weapons for a project for Star Frontiersman magazine. These are biotech gear created by an alien species called the Gnatha. These are not merely tools, but they are living, breathing organisms! These creatures can swim on their own accord, while the Gnatha use them […]
Alternately, for the Species Ability, I could adapt their "Lie Detection" skill and give them a boost on checks to determine falsehoods and deception, making the limbs just part of the morphic ability of the Species Trait. Now that I think about it, that's probably a better way to go. Mechanically: first extra d20 bought with Momentum on Insight checks to determine deception is free?
Names are going to be an issue. I'm going to need to scour old #StarFrontiers products for examples. It'll be fun to read the old material again, of course.
Sample Values will relate to their love of philosophy and debate, their mindfulness, and their genial relations with other species.
Attributes? I'm thinking bonuses to Fitness, Insight and Reason.
