Okay, this time for real: Free Starspiel

To my embarassment, when I posted the updated, play-tested edition of Free Starspiel, I actually posted an older version that did not refelct the playtesting, and, in fact, wasn't materially different from the even-more-previously posted Starshut Rules.

So, here, for really real, is Free Starspiel:

And, since I feel bad about spending a whole post to just correct a previous mistake, here is a list of names for on-the-fly NPCs. The names for the Star Frontiers species are, if I recall correctly, derived from published TSR sources. The human names are Nigerian and Slavic, whcih I chose as the cultural influences on this particular sector of the galactic frontier.

The Bottled Sea, Session 0 & Hewcrawl XP

Avast, me swabbies, bilge-rats, scallywags, and salty dogs of every stripe! A new campaign has appeared on the horizon.

Lasers & Feelings, RetroRocket

Necro-Cavaliers of the Astral Galaxy reminded me of just how much fun John Harper's Lasers and Feelings is. So I made a hack. Like so many others have. There's no new titular dichotomy for my hack, even though lasers aren't so much a part of the 30's era, Buck Rogers-style, planetary romances I wanted to emulate. Something like "Rockets & Romance" would have been entirely genre appropriate, but there's no improving on the geek poetry of declaring "I rolled LaserFeelings!" Anyway, I hope you like it. Let me know if you play it!

Knave 2e Alternate Attributes

Sometimes, I'm exactly in the mood for the classic simplicity of defining characters entirely by D&D's six attributes, as Knave does. But sometimes, I want the players have have just a little smidge more to fiddle with.
