Sorry, Folks...

...no day care this morning (or perhaps at all), so you may not get anything more than the scheduled installment of Kloane War Knights today.

In other news, I've had nearly 300 downloads of Frontier Space in less than three days.

[should've thrown some clip art on it and sold it for 50 cents a pop]

This despite Blogger telling me only half as many people have actually read the original post. What...are people downloading two copies each?

*ahem* ANYway...such enthusiasm probably shouldn't go unrewarded. I'll see if I can put together a follow-up piece or two...I'm thinking either a Referee/Adventure guide, a sample adventure, or a conversion of Knight Hawks (though I'll have to actually go back and read KH again...it's been a few years). Again, these are just one-sheets I'm talking about. Heck, maybe I'll pony up the dough for the system-neutral Strange Stars and do a quick conversion for its setting. Would anyone be into that?

Just let me know. I'm a little busy at the moment, but I'll get back to it.

Frontier Space

[quick FYI: KWN posts will be continuing through the weekend...they're on "auto-pilot." However, I may not get around to advertising them on the G+...just so you know]

There are probably some people who are tired of my tirades against that Old School Darling, Star Frontiers. Specifically, they're probably thinking:
"JB...you say things like 'the system is deplorable'...but what exactly have you done better? Sure, you're serializing a supplement for X-Plorers (tl;dr, just BTW), but what exactly have you offered as a substitute system? Where's the space opera micro-game? If it's so damn easy, and everyone else is so darn stupid, why aren't you putting your money where your mouth is?"
The proles, of course, have a valid gripe. So here it is:

FRONTIER SPACE

Your one-page micro-game, free-o-charge. Fairly easy to expand upon, you can use it as the basis for your own Star Frontiers game OR adapt it to a different setting, if that floats your goat.

BTW: there are no gyrojet weapons since, per wikipedia, real world gyrojet weapons are "long out of production" due to their expense and limitations of design. Hey, if we don't use 'em, I'm not putting 'em in a "futuristic society." But you can, of course, add them if you like.

As always, comments are appreciated. If I see enough download activity, I'll consider adapting Knight Hawks (that would probably necessitate a 2nd page). Have a good weekend, folks.

Bunch o SF fans getting ready to jump me...
