Announcing Issue 1 of the new Frontier Explorer magazine.  The Frontier Explorer is a quarterly magazine dedicated to sci-fi RPGs and fiction.  In it's pages you will find short stories and articles covering topics from background material, ship deck plans, gaming tips, and new equipment to adventure locations and even full adventures.  This issue has a strong slant towards the Star Frontiers RPG as that game has a special place in the heart of the editors and this year is the game's 30th anniversary.

This issues contents (article titles) are:

  • The Dralasitic Creed
  • Crafting a Compelling Character in a Role-playing game
  • Lossend
  • What is War?
  • Mooks Without Number - Part 1
  • Planeron Station
  • CSS Nightwind
  • Make Run For It
  • Don't Go In The Water
  • About the Magazine
  • Grymz Guide Comic

Grab your copy and start exploring the frontiers with us.

Update:  If you like to have a physical copy of your materials, the print edition is now also available.  It is full color and the map pages in the center of the magazine (part of the Mooks Without Number article) are printed such thay you can pop it out, lay it on the table and use it for play.

The Frontier Explorer is now listed as a “Pay What You Want” product.  As always, the Frontier Explorer is free (and always will be) and you don’t have to feel guilty about just downloading it and enjoying it for free.  Please do.  That said, if you want to help support the magazine, the pay what you want option allows you to make a contribution. Think of it as a “tip jar” or donation plate.  Just don’t feel like you need to make a contribution.

It's really great to see some new Star Frontiers stuff! I only recently discovered the Star Frontiersman on DriveThruRPG. I hadn't gotten through them all yet when I downloaded the Frontier Explorer. The art may be a tad below the level of the Star Fro [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
