==Mountain Pass==
by [[Tom Verreault]] (jedion357)
[[File:MountainPass-full.png|right|300 px|thumb|caption|Full mountain pass map]]
Something I’ve been thinking about for a while is the
generic encounter
locations on the
back of the Port
Loren map from the
box set. The
encounter tiles on
the back of that map
are titled; Crater,
Mountains, Desert,
Fort, Ruins, Forest,
and Town. I believe
that having
expanded print and
electronic versions
of these available to
the Star Frontiers
community would be
a benefit to
referees.

To that end I created an approximate copy of the
mountain encounter and generated three more
matching tiles. Once released in the Star Frontiersman,
these maps will be available as PGN files by download
at http://starfrontiers.us/node/3498. The location is
the '''Architecture Project''' which is ostensibly about
maps of adventure locations.

The Mountain Pass encounter tiles were designed to be
a match with original tile with its light blue road that
looks like it could double as a stream or river. They are
also designed to support use with the original die cut
counters from the Alpha Dawn box set. The electronic
files that will be available by down load serve a dual
purpose. They’ll be useable on line for gaming on a
virtual table top like Open RPG and for use with
miniatures by having them enlarged and printed.

The Mountain Pass is actually designed to be a narrow
mountain valley with a road or stream running through
the middle. The surrounding mountain peaks suggest a
classic ambush scenario but the possibilities are
unlimited.

==Central Encounter==
by [[Larry Moore]]
[[File:CentralEncounter.png|right|300px|thumb]]
One day I got inspired to pull out my soft cover Star
Frontiersman fanzine off the shelf and start reading
from Issue 1. What I found was amazing – I got really
excited to started crafting an encounter/adventure
using just the SFMan material. I hope to publish it in
Issue 15. Here’s a link to the work-in-progress.
http://starfrontiers.us/node/4066

After creating the adventure I decided to start making
small encounter maps. The idea was inspired by Bill
Logan’s map work, Tom Verreault’s deck plans/tiles
and Star Wars Miniatures Tile Wars.

Consider detailing the map areas 1-9 and send it in for
publication. We’d love to hear from you. Here are some
ideas for inspiration;
# Hallway to central city docks.
# Public access elevator will take anyone with a blue card pass to levels 1-3.
# Hallway to parking garage.
# Public computer access terminals.
# Hallway to restricted employee offices.
# Private terminal access for employee’s.
# Security office.
# Secure storage.
# Architect installed a secret door with a mechanical interlock.
