Is Evil Hat (FATE) going to make a new "Star Frontiers" rpg?

Quote from: DavetheLost;989930That is cold comfort. Some guy on the internet says he has done a Star Frontiers hack for a rules set I don't like.  Now if somebody announced a Classic Traveller hack for Star Frontiers, that would be news worth celebrating.

All you'd really need to do is import the setting and use Traveller rules, no?

Quote from: Christopher Brady;989415Citation?  I want to know how well Star Frontier was really doing.

According to the staff I talked to it was doing good enough that they had several projects in the works when Loraine axed it for Buck Rogers. Some of that was cobbled together into the Zebulons Guide book so it wouldnt be wasted work.

Unapproved trademark just means the trademark hasn't been approved.

Yet.  Sometimes it takes a while for it to happen, if ever.

Pretty much, I think. Do some quick write ups on the aliens, and they shouldn't be hard.

Wow, you're so old school hardcore. Can I carry your bag of dice for you next time you grace a table with your presence?

I wish Evil Hat luck. Yet I'm not sure if it's a smart move. It's one of those IPs that some fans would by more for nostalgia than anything else. nostalgiacan be a strong selling point though popularity needs to be a key factor as well. Their is not many gamers I know who would go "man I really wish they would do a new Star Frontiers rpg". As well it will suffer competition from existing sci-fi rpgs as well.

Quote from: jan paparazzi;989909Maybe DWD Studios will finally release Frontierspace? I consider that the spiritual successor of Space Frontiers.

Coming soon. Check their blog and G+ pages. Players Handbook and GM Guide and an adventure are supposed to be released later this year. (We were playtesters for it.)
