Home after #RPG session.

Players were all, unfortunately, pretty tired but I got them going, into the wilderness, past the frozen lake and the moose and to the tower.

They thought - due to a nice red herring - that the cannibals were lupines, and therefore the girl running away was just a girl. Not a single mind or prime scan on her (they were deterred by 'all your magic is vulgar here' as well, so that helped)

Fun times, the Star Frontiers ads on TV! and in comics:

It's not terrible, in that the alien may be a Vrusk (it is more clearly so in the comic ad). The Frontier has no connection anymore to the homeworlds of the four species, but it could be they had a way back, and ONLY on forbidden Earth could they acquire the Star Frontiers game that explains the Frontier.

Thirty years ago today.
It wasn't the first RPG, even the first SquareSoft RPG, that I'd played, but it was foundational to my love of RPGs, to my love of time travel stories, and the plot twist hit me like a punch in the gut, in the very best way. Story, gameplay, music, sound, art - all beautiful.

In the intervening three decades, games have been released that suit certain moods better, but in terms of overall quality, this game remains the pinnacle.
