Hello explorers!

Welcome to issue 11 of the Frontier Explorer.  One of the big events in the past few months has been the release of the D&D 5th Edition rules.  The Frontier Explorer is proud to present a conversion for the Star Frontiers races and weapons to the 5th Edition system.  Written by Michael Long, he and friends have play-tested this conversion to work out the kinks so it should flow smoothly into your game.  For those of you who play D&D and want to try a little Star Frontiers, this is for you.

We also have the usual smattering of other articles as well including several creatures, equipment and optional rules related to medical devices and healing, and our ongoing comics.  We have plans for a new exploration scoutship as well as data and background information on several notorious pirates and privateer vessels and their captains.  Finally, we have the results of our poll on your favorite Star Frontiers module, a conversion article adapting Top Secret’s Contact Table for use with the Star Frontiers system, and a new character sheet and handy reference tables.

The article list for this issue is:

  • A Little Tok’Vzz
  • The Alpha Scout
  • Medical Supplies in the Minzii Market Place
  • The Power of the Poultice
  • Countering Poisons in the Frontier
  • Titan Rising: 2299
  • Top Secret’s Contact Table and Star Frontiers
  • Pirates and Privateers
  • Character and Reference Sheets
  • Star Frontiers to D&D 5e Conversion
  • Greatest Star Frontiers Module of all Time
  • Krik: The Magnificent Beast of Hentz
  • Grymz Guide Comic #11

We hope you enjoy this issue and as always, keep exploring!

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.

Cover text needs to be updated (miss-spelling of Reference [Feference]). Otherwise looks cool, love the section on D&D 5 conversion. Been hesitant on getting into 5th edition but doing a SF game might make it worthwhile. Only other small glitch I noticed was on page 30 with the Vrusk Traits. Dex is listed and other one just lists score. Ability Score summary lists it as Charisma on pg 32.

John, thanks for pointing those out. Those are both on me as the editor. I was manually making some changes sent to me by the author of the conversion article and I must have missed that one. The cover misspelling is just my fat fingers late at night and then not seeing the F (which admittedly looks a bit like an R). I'll get them fixed and an update sent out.

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.
