Initial Projects

To get this project started, I plan on working on three initial projects.  This will help me get into the swing of things and figure out my workflow for this site and Patreon.  The three initial projects are detailed below.

Sathar Assault Carrier Technical Manual

I created a detailed set of deck plans and write up for a Sathar Destroyer several years ago.  Part of the reason was to create a miniature for the ship.  Since there is no miniature for the Assault Carrier, I thought that might be a fun project to tackle.  The project will include:

  • a full set of deck plans for the ship
  • a write-up on the ship and its operation
  • a 3D model of the ship that can be printed for use as a miniature
  • a fully textured 3D model for use in digital images

 

Death at Rosegard

This is a complete adventure that I recently finished running for my home group.  While it is based on Star Frontiers, the adventure could be used in almost any system.  This project will include:

  • several location maps (town, mine facilities, and other locations)
  • numerous NPC bios
  • full adventure write-up
  • new creatures

 

Ghost Ship Osiris

This is a module for the FrontierSpace RPG by Bill Logan that I am working on with him.  This will be a DWD Studios product when completed so I need to talk with Bill a bit about what I can share but given his license on the property, probably most of the things I create can be shared here.  This project will include:

  • Several ship deck plans
  • Several robots
  • NPCs
  • Locations (with maps)
  • A full adventure module
  • possible 3D models of the ships

 

Those are the project I’m looking at starting off with.  You can also expect to see tweaks to the web site as the content expands and I look more at the presentation  Is there one you’d like to see prioritized over the others?  Any thoughts on other types of materials you’d like to see produced?  Let me know in the comments.

Welcome to the Expanding Frontier

Welcome to the Expanding Frontier. This blog and site is dedicated to creating gaming resources focused on science fiction role-playing games.  I’ll be posting maps, locations, ships, vehicles, characters, and more that you can use in your games.  I’ll also be talking about the tools and processes I use to to create the materials.

I’ll primarily be focusing on creating adventures and all the bits and pieces that go along with that.  There will occasionally be other stand-alone or one-off projects as well.

A lot of the work I do is supported by may Patreon campaign.  Some of the posts that appear on the blog will be only available to Patreon supporters but most will be publicly available.  If you want to help support the work I do, just hit the “Become a Patron” button on the right and sign up.

This is very much a work in progress so don’t be surprised to see changes and updates to the site and the things I work on as time goes on.  If you have suggestions or requests, feel free to comment below.
