Rule SystemĪt the core of the rule system are ten-sided dice - called a "d10". It’s a frontier waiting for discovery and adventure. They could be the first people ever to cross that land, or they could be walking in the footprints of a race that built a civilization and then collapsed, leaving its relics to be discovered centuries later. When adventurers travel more than a few hundred kilometers from a settlement, they are entering an area where very few people have ever been. Very few have been explored on the ground. Most have been mapped by spaceships and satellites that take pictures from orbit. Many of the settled planets themselves are not fully explored. Because they are isolated, these spots quickly become hiding places for outlaws and space pirates. These areas could hold lost alien treasures or rich deposits of precious metals and gems. There are many moons, asteroid belts and uninhabited planets that are largely ignored in the day-to-day business of earning a living in the Frontier. Even the settled systems are not fully explored. No one has explored the routes to these stars for navigational hazards, so no one knows whether these stars even have planets. Besides these settled areas, the sector contains 21 unexplored star systems that could have habitable (or inhabited) planets. Some of these planets have been claimed and settled by only one of the four races, while others were set up in cooperation and have mixed populations. The Frontier contains 17 inhabited star systems, with a total of 23 colonized planets. Product Description STAR FRONTIERS adventures take place in an area of space called the Frontier Sector, or simply The Frontier. The artwork is a mix of the classic Star Frontiers art, with whole new fan-made art and layout.
This version of Alpha Dawn is mostly the expanded rules, with parts of the basic rules, the Crash on Volturnus module, and some house rules added in. In 2007, a 154-page fan-made version of Alpha Dawn was released to the internet by Bill Logan. Since then, it has served as the foundation for all other Star Frontiers rules up to Zebulon's Guide to Frontier Space, where the line was discontinued. It was developed under the working title Alien Worlds and first published in 1980 as the "blue box" set, then republished in 1982 as the "magenta box" set, with the addition of "Alpha Dawn" to the title. Star Frontiers: Alpha Dawn is the original published rule-set for Star Frontiers. Personnel-scale adventures with some vehicle-scale actionīox set with two saddle stitch booklets, map, counter sheet and dice.
