[QUOTE="Lord_Blacksteel, post: 7701120, member: 53082"] Star Frontiers has nothing to do with Gamma World or Barrier Peaks as both were published years before Star Frontiers came out. It doesn't really get into the human background in a ton of detail so you could spin it that way if you wanted to without wrecking the setting but there's nothing stated anywhere in the game that ties it. Gamma World 2E explicitly mentions the Starship Warden(at least the timeline article published in Dragon at the time does) and Jim Ward wrote both games so yes, there is a connection there. Barrier Peaks was a tournament module first. Gary stated in several places it's not directly tied to the Warden and there's nothing in the module to indicate it was but there's nothing in it that would prevent you from connecting it if you wanted to either. Temple of the Frog was from Blackmoor and Dave Arneson and that should tell you it's not connected. Again, no reason you couldn't but there's nothing overtly doing it either. Gary Gygax, Dave Arneson, Jim Ward, Steve Winter - all of these guys were online and talking about their games for years. I think if there was a big inside joke it would have been mentioned by now.
