Message: <blockquote data-quote="HellHound" data-source="post: 1820041" data-attributes="member: 3397">When d20 Future came out, I really wanted to run a game of Star Frontiers with it, once I finished converting some material over to d20.Well, I never did find the time to do the conversions.On Friday, I ran CLASSIC Star Frontiers - a Star Law game with a Miami Vice theme. Well, a Truane's Star Vice theme. We're talking a smooth-talking dralasite in a white sports coat sporting shades and a toupee, a pair of vrusk (one outdoorsy-kind of bug, good with a gun and very friendly, the other a slick bug with shades and too many hand grenades), and a Yazirian like "Speed" from CSI Miami in initial feel -but acting as the team's wheelman and techie.It was a lot of fun, and while I was originally going to run the game once in the legacy Star Frontiers system and then covnert characters to d20 between sessions, I think I'll just stick to the Star Frontiers rules set for the whole game. It is SO clean and easy to run. To really get the feel, I just picked up the original boxed set on eBay with the old HUGE map of Downtown Truane's Star and all the counters for only $2.50. I was hunting for this set @ GenCon this year, and it was nowhere to be found - Crazy Egor quoted $30 and up for a good copy of the boxed set, as soon as they could find one for me. So I'm pretty happy with this buy. ---The system for Star Frontiers is Sooooo simple and clean, and low-level characters have such a hard time hitting things with their guns that it can ALMOST be comical - although I find that I'm better at handling this kind of thing now that I'm a lot more experienced than I was when I ran Star Frontiers in 1982-1983 - good cinematic descriptions make missing more bearable for the players, especially when combat rounds go SO quickly.I'm in love again.</blockquote>
