Earth & Space Science News

Because I'm a big nerd who enjoys reading earth and space science news (and trying to invent ways in which future technology can be derived from that news), I've added some news feeds to the site, under the "Community" block. Stop back daily to read what's going on in the world and in the Frontier...

A new look and feel

I decided that this site, though it was very functional and simple, was quite inelegant and in need of updating. All the same content, organized exactly the same way you're used to seeing. But now it's quite simple for me to add news to the front page, or add more downloadable content.

Note that there is also now a button in the upper right hand corner of your browser window. It says Submit Art or Articles and is the official manner in which all submissions should now be sent. Please follow the simple guidelines on that input form, and hopefully this will streamline things a bit. Of course, you can always just email submissions to submissions@starfrontiersman.com -- that's all the web form does.

I don't plan on making this site require user membership. All functionality of the site that is required will be available to unlogged-in users. However, I'm developing a staff of editors to help with the webzine, and a process by which workflow will be followed. This site has special features for logged-in editors to help us all produce the webzine. I'm hoping this makes smaller jobs for more folks, sharing the burden a little and using a common workplace to ensure rapid releases of the webzine.

Also note at the bottom of this page, you'll fine an RSS feed icon()... click that to subscribe and keep yourself informed of new postings on this site! And don't forget to show your love by leaving me a guestbook entry!! :-)

Game on!

Issue 8 Ready for download...
SF08.jpg

With all the goodies you come to love and expect, some great artwork, new gear, new races (including the Mechanon 2.0... a re-realized Mechanon formatted for use in Alpha Dawn gaming), and much much more! 70 pages of Star Frontiers material, evidence of the hard work and love for the game by me and the folks over at www.starfrontier.us.

I know I've been late with this issue, just as I have been with the issue that came before it. Though I don't think either lacks quality, the long delays may indicate to many of you a depletion of vigor and drive. Nothing can be further from the truth. The delays are due to personal changes in my life (new job, new city for me and my family, travel -- I'm in Malaysia as I type this). My time for my hobby is what is suffering, not my commitment to it. Fortunately, there are a lot of folks willing to help out.

So that is why I'm forming an editorial staff for the webzine, building a dedicated group of folks who will all work together to help get things streamlined so future issues may not have such long delays between them. This webzine has outgrown one man anyway. More on this to come.

On another note, this website is old, antiquated. It is, however, simple and easy to navigate. As time permits, you may see a few changes here. I won't make it big and complex like the development site (www.starfrontiers.us) but may add some simple content management in order to simplify keeping the front page updated. So if you come to visit this site as a preference over the development site - please comment to me on the changes to come.

Organizational Announcement

This website is used for distribution of new material related to the Star Frontiers revival. If all you're interested in is grabbing the most recent releases, browse around and enjoy what you find. If you're wanting to contribute, discuss, and get involved in any way you desire, please head on over to the development site www.starfrontiers.us. It's a place to collaborate and develop new material for all of us to enjoy! We'd love to work with you.

Lookie what I have for you!

Neither my dedication nor the momentum of the Star Frontiers revival has withered nor slowed. It's alive and well and ready for YOU!

FINALLY! After far too long (three months... that's like an entire season!) I've finally got great news. I hope it's news you'll all like :-)

StarFrontiersman Issue 7 Is done and ready.... and it's quite big because of all the great submissions I received over so long a hiatus. It's full of Star Frontiers goodness... and ready for download!

Here's some different news... development for the Star Frontiersman is not done here on this simple little html site. The nature of the webzine has outgrown this site. Development is now over at the brand spanking new...

Star Frontiers Revival site!

I've been hard at work, with a handful of talented site testers, to bring us a sandbox for us to play in and create great things together. There are already projects in the works - and more are sure to come. Head on over to www.starfrontiers.us and check it out... make an account.... collaborate with others like you and me who enjoy science fiction, enjoy role-playing, and enjoy working together to create something we can all be proud of. The site is talked about in Issue 7 - read about it there first if you'd like. But you HAVE to come on over and check it out. It's going to be a lot of fun!

  • Note: the site is best viewed with FireFox, but works well in Internet Explorer version 7 and above. In order to provide high quality appearance and feel while keeping bandwidth low, cached css is used. Earlier versions of Internet Explorer had issues interpreting css properly and the new site may not look exactly right (though will be perfectly functional) if your browser isn't up to date.

ENJOY!
