In Issue #1, I'd already decided to let you guys buy the miscellaneous equipment, except for jumpboots - not the weapons and defensive suits.

Issue #2 - Sorry, no. I understand wanting to customize weapons and such, but there are so many in the magazine.

Issue #3 - Again, no.

Issue #4 - I already decided to let you guys buy the Badlands Explorer helmet if you want, or the vests. Just not the weapons.

Issue #5 - I love the Motion Tracker - nothing else for this game, though.

There are other things in other issues that I like - we'll mention some of them if and when you can afford them.

That works for me.  I always say that if you don't ask, the answer is always no!

Amen!

Juma and Ryon, feel free to say hello while you get your characters finished up.  :^)

Welcome!

Hey new folks! If our GM hasn't shown you a list of available equipment, I'll get an updated one ready for Sunday. Maybe Friday.

Welcome new players!

Hey all,

If I may ask, where in the world is everybody located? I live just outside the birthplace of Star Frontiers - Lake Geneva, WI, USA.

You don't have to share if you'd rather not - I just think it's cool that players from all over play in my AD&D game, so I thought I'd ask here in the Star Frontiers game, too. So I know a couple of you already.  ;^)

NEW Jersey

In reply to JSC, Lord of Time and Space (msg # 82):

Washington State.

About 3.5 hours drive WSW of our GM. Cedar Rapids area of Iowa.

I live in Southern California, about 12 miles up the 5 Freeway from Disneyland.

Busan, South Korea. Been here for over 10 years now!

On a completely different note...

Who here is familiar with the Borderlands series of videogames?  I keep thinking Star Frontiers would be a perfect game system to adapt to the Borderlands Universe.  Other people would say Star Finder but I'm not familiar with that game system.  Star Frontiers is already basically the same concept as Borderlands: You're explorers on the edge of explored space out looking for alien technology or habitable planets that can be colonized.  Although I think Star Finder is the same in that regard.  All it really is is a change to the universe.

In reply to T'tasik (msg # 88):

Either system would probably be good. I would be interested in trying the starfinder rules to play the game though

T'Tasik - there's a Borderlands conversion already out there somewhere. I'll find it for you in a day or two, as I'm going into the hospital today - they say it's routine, but it doesn't feel routine to me.  :)

I was wrong - it's a RPG conversion, not Borderlands, sorry.

I will be around until Christmas Eve, so if anybody heads out for vacation sooner, be safe and Happy Whatever!  :^)   I won't be back until after the New Year.

Did we discuss any other equipment from the StarFrontiersman issues yet other than what you have posted?

Just trying to see what my options are for shopping.  I will happily take the explorer's vest if I cant get the tactical vest from issue #4 and/or the blast pistol from issue #1

I'm nixing all the different weapons for now. Something else you had in mind?

I think we had briefly discussed some things that may or may not be available.  I didn't want to go crazy with things going looking for stuff.  Would it be easier for you to put out what's available?  I haven't had a lot of spare time but, I could go through some things.

He's not really a combat guy so, I'm actually trying to keep it practical for him.

The other stuff I've looked at is well beyond your price range for now. I'd planned on putting it up later.

In reply to JSC, Lord of Time and Space (msg # 96):

We can also be more targeted with our purchasing once we have a mission and know our pay and what equipment will be supplied.

Are we in reasonably constant contact, or is this future sort of like Neuromancer, where they have cyberspace but no cellphones?

That sounds good to me.

How about a rifle sling with mag pouches?

Agnes, your chronocoms can be tied into the station grid so you have constant communication - on a planetary surface with communication satellites, it's the same thing.

Roger, say it costs 10 Credits, but unlike the vest it doesn't reduce encumbrance for you. It just makes it convenient to carry.
