A few weeks ago, someone posted, I think in the "Old School Gamers" page on Facebook, that back in the day they got the vibe from Star Frontiers that it was a light & happy setting, which may have been part of why it didn't catch on with them. They asked if anyone else got that vibe.<br /><br />I had to agree, but I coudn't put my finger on why or how I developed that feeling then. Probably the inner optimism of a 13-year-old player?<br /><br />I also responded that if one looks at it, there are corporate wars, piracy, inter-racial tensions, a mind-controlling alien menace, and weak central authority and law. Since then, I've been thinking about the Mercy Mission to Madderly's Star idea (humans attempting to drive off or wipe out Vrusk on a global scale) and just posted this morning on how Streel might go underground in a conflict with the UPF and its member planets. Gah, that feels *really* grimdark now....<br /><br />Anyone else have either or both of these feelings?
