The Challenge

So begins the First Frontier Biquarterly 24 hour Challenge!

That's right boys and girls, Biquartery! Once every 4 months Frontier will sponsor a Challenge based upon the game. Each winner will see their submission risen up in glory as a Frontier Officially stamped Expansion. They will also receive a free copy of the first run of The Frontier Guidebook.

Now is when you say "What in the world is Frontier and why would I want to sign up for their silly contest?"

To which we will happily reply:

Frontier is a new RPG based on the concept that Role-Playing games are and should be expanded by the people who play it and have hand in controlling its design destiny. Frontier is built upon the design principle of creating set of rules in which players can take any setting they wish that is already designed, or create their own, and not run into large inconsistencies of rules.

9 years I've been working on Frontier. In that time it's been interrupted by marriage, kids, death, even disaster. Still somehow it has managed to survive, even after all the changes. Originally it was one setting and a whole lot of dice. Slowly it has evolved into the Gameverse it is now. I think by sponsoring this first contest over at 1km1kt it will really finally get it out to people where it belongs.

An excerpt from Frontier,

Earth was overburdened; man had abused her resources and overpopulated the land. Gradually man reached for the stars to find other worlds to ease the pain of his home planet. Massive effort was used to stretch the reach of man and in time other planets were found that were, or could be made hospitable to human life. But man was still alone in the galaxy, and like a dysfunctional family, began to turn on himself. The powers that be began to argue over how new resources would be shared, and who would do the work. Those of wealth and influence began to turn their efforts towards controlling who would reap the rewards of mans endeavors. Meanwhile the impoverished and hungry citizens of Earth were to watch as the controlling powers ruled from their steel and concrete towers or from distant worlds.
