    Wolfgang Baur's "Kobold Quarterly" 'zine

    Sounds promising. I can't wait to see it.

    Are there any fans of Star Frontiers on ENWorld?

    Sounds fun... even better with bacon!

    Recommend a lengthy d20 product?

    Rappan Athuk makes an effective campaign altogether. It would be my choice, but I am a fan of deep dungeon delving over more city/political endeavors.

    Are there any fans of Star Frontiers on ENWorld?

    Are you a fan of Star Frontiers? I know it isn't D20, but it certainly hearkens back to the roots of the industry, and has a certain nostalgic appeal. Anyhow, I have my own thread in the OGL section where I am tackling a MOD of sorts using the basic Star Frontiers rules, but I really just...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    Great one to tackle! I can already imagine the next stage (Advanced Caster), where mastery of Shadow Magic coupled with a few levels of the previous Force Magic, can lead to 'quasi-real' shadow effects, or basically shadow effects with some ooommpphh behind it. I also think you should add a...

    [d20 Modern] Nurse?

    As a current Nursing Student, the vast majority of a Nurse's initial training consists of studies in 'Care Providing' and not so much 'Trauma or Emergency Room type treatments'. I would say that neither of those 2 roles really fit, but a specialized RN could fill either role effectively...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    As far as a cap for Spell power levels... undecided. I think one of best limiters for the most powerful magics is to make those powers 'cooperative magic' or ritual magic, essentially taking several casters working collectively to create some effect. Summoning some Demon critter, major...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    I was kinda making stuff up as I wrote, so I suspect tweaks will be necessary. Already, in my actual text, I swapped the 5th and 6th level functions. I did intend the True Levitation effect to be an add-on to the other 1st level effect, especially given the low, low cost of that effect (1...

    Geisha: Defunct Dragon Article Submission

    I have been off of this little topic for a while now, but it is not forgotten. I have had a few other projects, and interests that I have been entertaining for a little while now. I am still very interested in anyone's commentary on this. I will try to upload a new version some time soon...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    The basic idea is that each level of the Spell Skill acquired opens up a new associated power, in addition to those powers being more costly to cast... so yes you must gain the levels to increase in effectiveness. Following is my first example of a Spell Skill - Force Magic Spell Skill. As I...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    I felt the same on this. Consider this finalized as INTUITION. The Punching Score table was the inspiration for bonus points, simply to tie the system back to the basic rules for Alpha Dawn. Only applying the bonus once was the original plan. All the while I was under the impression that the...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    In summary, Mycanid wrote about Divine powers in a Star Frontiers stylized setting. So that everyone following this knows, I am including Divine magic in this mod, although I was trying to be very vague (and also modular) so that individual referees can determine for themselves how much of...

    The Basic Fantasy RPG roxxorz!

    This looks very cool. I cannot believe that I had overlooked this for so long. I have been in a very nostalgic mood as of late (basically starting with the news of the demise of my favorite mags), so this is a very welcome addition to my collection. I look forward to running Palace of the...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    Here is a rough draft of the magic section that I am developing. I have not written any specific 'spells' or Spell Skills as I have been calling them. The basic idea to that is to create a suite of powers following a theme of sort, but really open ended so that players can contribute by...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    When the new site features become available, you can be sure that I will be pimping that site here on ENWorld (and elsewhere). ;)

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    Only to Bill at www.StarFrontiersman.com I am awaiting the forums for his site to be up and running. I imagine that there will be more traffic of interested folks in a forum pretty much devoted to Star Frontiers material. Trying to push SF on an almost exclusively D20 site is an uphill battle...

    If you were to make the font, those different R's could be setup on another spot like the cyrillic or spanish letters.

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    I want to share to any who are interested that I do have a document that I am working on with a basic framework already worked out. I am just in the process of filing in information. I don't want to share it openly right now, as it is so early in the process, and very incomplete, but if anyone...

    Conversion: Fantasy Rules into Star Frontiers

    Very cool on both images. It really is a shame that the font is MIA. I wonder if you contacted WotC, that they might have it available to you somewhere hidden away on a computer file... but more likely considering the era, the whole logo was more likely a simple graphic design, and not really...
