Book Description

Publication Date: August 1982

This boxed set is the base set for the Star Frontiers system by TSR Inc. This is the same as the original boxed set - just renamed after a number of expansions and modules started to arrive on the scene from TSR. The primary difference is the covers - which were magenta instead of blue.

4.0 out of 5 stars TSR diversifies from D&D, February 16, 2006

This review is from: Star Frontiers (Alpha Dawn) [BOX SET] (Hardcover)

Star Frontiers, when it was introduced by TSR in 1982, was a conscious break from the AD&D standard. The rules were entirely different (percentile-based), and the presentation was good. Unfortunately, it didn't garner sufficient popularity in the gaming community at the time of release, and was discontinued by the mid-Eighties. This is the Basic Set, with two rule books, an introductory module, SF0 - Crash on Volturnus, poster map, and counters. A later printing (1983) of the boxed set was labeled "Alpha Dawn." and printed in the same format as the Knight Hawks starship combat set.

More or less D&D for sci fi junkies, a decent system but very hard to find modules for these days.
