Star Frontiers - Unisystem

Well "All Tomorrow's Zombies" the All Flesh Must Be Eaten space and sci-fi genre book has been out for over a year. I have reworked my original manuscript and added over 16 archetype templates to the game, updated and revised the skills. I am wanting to run a few new playtest sessions and still need to revise the psionics, equipment and weapons.

Nevertheless, fans of Unisystem enjoy the work completed so far and download the file at www.unifans.org/

The Star Frontiers Unisystem Conversion Project was something I have wanted to do for a while now. My first roleplaying experience was with the original Star Frontiers game way back in 1987. My friend Tim Darnell and I spent most of the summer playing this game, which eventually expanded beyond the Star Frontiers universe and exposed me to an extensive range of colorful characters and planet-hopping fun.

As a fan of the game, I later began collecting books and modules for Star Frontiers. To my surprise, after a few years I had collected about all of what was available. In 1999, Tim Darnell, the Game Master that introduced me to gaming, passed away. At that time, I knew that I wanted to do something to pay tribute our friendship but my plan was unclear.

In 2001, I read a review for a game called All Flesh Must Be Eaten on the Guild Companion Website. In the review, Randy Campbell talked about the scenario he ran for his players and after I read it, I wanted to get the game. It reminded me of the enthusiasm I had in my Star Frontiers game in the past. Once I purchased the game and began to appreciate the rules, I knew the Unisystem would be ideal for a Star Frontiers game.
