Second Edition of the Spaceship Space Opera Role-Playing Game

I’ve been meaning to overhaul Extreme Future for a while now, and here that marvellous little sci-fi RPG is, finally done. I’m also writing a couple of genre novels too, one fantasy novel set in the world of Realms Fantasy Role Playing, and another for later release, set in the Extreme Future galaxy. The Sci-Fi [...]

More work on the latest spaceship illustration

I’m really enjoying discovering what MyPaint can do. I’m enjoying it so much that it is stopping me from playing with Alchemy, the other free art app I just found and downloaded. I’m painting a spaceship with it. The image still has to be tidied up in GIMP, but that isn’t deterring me at all. [...]

I just saw Avatar in 3D and loved the design, the alien ecosystem and all the concepts.

OK, so I just watched Avatar and I’m not going to even fight the influence this is going to be having on my sketches for the foreseeable future. It’s a great movie and I absolutely loved it. It has attracted some criticism for a certain simplicity in the story, but I think that’s missing the [...]

New D20 version of Tarazet sci-fi RPG resources

The new D20 section of RPG resources at Starbright has arrived. The eagle eyed among you will have noticed a new button gracing the upper reaches of this gaming blog. That’s right, a whole new section of sci-fi gaming pages – well at least the first three pages, but I’m psyched and this section is [...]

For example he links to this D20 rifts site, eeps!! And this games blogger has somehow found this other cool D20 [...]

Sci Fi author responsible for Battlestar Galactica offers free online writing course, and some free eBooks (but are they any good).

Jeffrey A. Carver always posts his latest science fiction novels on his website to download for free, although they are real books and will be published in the print medium too, and that’s brought him to my attention. I’m always searching for free sci-fi eBooks you see. It turns out that this author also offers [...]

Streamlining the creation of Mongoose Traveller Spaceships with a spreadsheet

I intend to create a lot of these spaceships for my Tarazet Traveller role-playing game background, and so I decided that a spreadsheet based on the spaceship design rules would be a great help. I’ll be posting versions of the spreadsheet I develop as it evolves, as an aid to everyone else out there who [...]

Mongoose Publishing : For All Your Gaming Needs … including spaceships for me, oh joy!

This is what I have been looking for… I have been drawing, imagining and illustrating spaceships for many, many years. Since I was a kid reading 2000AD and watching Star Wars I have been in love with space travel. This infatuation really took off when I started playing role-playing games in the 80s – yes [...]

New Page on Starbright Illustrations

I just posted a new page on Starbright Illustrations main site. A science fiction illustration of a spaceship landing on a remote asteroid landing pad, intended as an image for the margin of a sci fi role-playing game perhaps.            This is about the size it should probably be seen, embedded in the text of [...]
