There IS some interesting setting stuff to be mined (mostly in Knight Hawks I'd say), but it's some hardcore digging that's required. The Mutiny on the Eleanor Moraes has an interesting idea on the explorer corp (or whatever it's called), but the Manchurian Candidate, Sathar post-hypnotic thing is kind of lame. I suppose I find a lot of the "Sathar threat" to be a bit lame, though.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-29806920333322605732015-06-02T19:51:54.790-07:002015-06-02T19:51:54.790-07:00Don't get me wrong, I think it would be easy e...Don't get me wrong, I think it would be easy enough to run something with this that the GM just makes up. And maybe it's because I also had several of the modules (saw in your most recent post that you've been looking through them), and years of play back when we were young to develop the Frontier in our games, but there's a fair amount of stuff in the book. <br /><br />I'm not criticizing Frontier Space, I'm saying you could take the setting info from Star Frontiers and replace the mechanics with what you present here, and run a fun game of Star Frontiers (the setting IS the game in my mind...am I weird?).Dennis Laffeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03053699552003336733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-10034272178042504072015-06-01T11:34:31.405-07:002015-06-01T11:34:31.405-07:00@ OrcStomp:

The "setting info" is outlined on the page (in broad strokes anyway).<br /><br />In all seriousness, there's not much "setting material" in the SF books. More info on the races (like dralasites "like old jokes and puns") and a cheap-o star map of the Frontier (made up names on a sheet of paper). A person really could (probably) come up with more interesting stuff than what's published in the books. Really.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-51700665552452783782015-05-31T05:55:53.329-07:002015-05-31T05:55:53.329-07:00Looks like it would work, for someone who has Star...Looks like it would work, for someone who has Star Frontiers in order to get the setting info.
