#alternity — Public Fediverse posts

@HeyeBodo I am in the initial stages of a project to convert material from the old #StarFrontiers and #Alternity TTRPGs into #StarTrekAdventures 2e. I'll be beginning with the SF aliens (Dralasites, Vrusk and Yazirians).

I have a project idea, tying into that #StarTrekAdventures game I was asked to run.

I want to do species writeups for the #StarFrontiers and #Alternity aliens (some of you may also remember them collectively grouped together in #d20Future ) in STA. That includes the Sathar!

I even have a concept of a plan of an idea: the PCs will be a specialized Away Team (senior officers going on ATs is just *stupid*) on a ship investigating a newly-discovered rogue planet drifting in deep space. I even know some things I want them to find there, including aliens from #StarFrontiers and #Alternity!

Anyway, my imaginary spaceship is a small interstellar scout, built by a human colony world that was abandoned due to its former overlords being distracted by the Second Galactic War (which, in the #Alternity #StarDrive universe, lasted over a century and blew a lot of things up).

I will call the homeworld "Novayashin", which is short for "Novaya Shin New Fiji Nueva". For unclear reasons, citizens of this planet are called "Space Possums"; most are human but with a few added alien refugees.

Me: Why is there no retro clone of the Alternity RPG? Somebody should make one.

Also Me: Well aren’t you a good looking “somebody”.

I've got a habit of loving the IDEAs of RPG settings but hating all the details: Example: I love a lot of the trappings of #Spelljammer, but can't stand what they did with it, so I idly write my own ships-in-space setting in my head. I've only tried to run it once, and it failed due to grad school burnout.

I also like #StarDrive for the #Alternity system, but again, want to tweak and rewrite SO MANY things.

Alright, we are doing the post hashtags so people can find you
