About two weeks ago I learned an interesting nugget about the design team for Star Frontiers. I was at a friend's house (my old GM from when I was in high school) and we were talking about wikis. So I showed him the <a href="http://starfrontiers.info/wiki">Star Frontiers Network Wiki</a> that I had set up as something I could do for his wiki if he wanted (He's creating a wiki for his game world which goes back to before the creation of D&D - it's a very long story). When I got to the website his comment was "Star Frontiers. That's Tracy's old game." I asked him what he meant and he said that Tracy worked on desiging the game.<br /><br />The Tracy in question is Tracy Hickman of D&D fame. Turns out he was on the design team for Star Frontiers as well. I don't know how involved Tracy was in the design but he apparently worked on it. I'll see if I can find out more.<br /><br />As for how my friend knows Tracy Hickman, they went to (at least) high school together and my friend is the one who introduced Tracy (and Sandy Peterson, original author of the Call of Chuthulu RPG) to role-playing in the first place.
