Let’s got to the frontier… The Star Frontier that is!

Dane of War’s excellent post, 10 RPGs every gamer should play before they fail their saving throw vs. death got me thinking of my favorite sci-fi game, Star Frontiers. This old school sci-fi game published by TSR in 1982 was my first game of that genre and the system under which I ran my second longest campaign, all the way from high school to college.

If you have never taken a look at the game it’s well worth it. Many of the races were later converted to Spelljammer, Alternity and D20 Future. So give yourself a chance and visit the Star Frontiersman website, they have a section containing what they call “digitally remastered” files of the original books that you can download.

Enjoy!

I've played 9 out of 10 of those! The only one I ever missed was Mutants and Masterminds. Star Frontiers was my first sci-fi RPG, too. Nice!
