| - Zebulon's Guide to Frontier Space is a rules supplement for the Star Frontiers game universe with additional rules, equipment and setting information. Designed as a continuing series, it was the only volume ever printed. It describes itself in its own words: "In FY 110 (Frontier Year 110) something new appeared in the frontier. It was an encyclopedia complied by the University of Zebulon documenting all known flora, fauna, cultures, devices and history of the frontier in one place." Zebulon's Guide to Frontier Space introduced several additional game and setting elements and radical changes to the game's mechanics. Of the three planned volumes of the Guide, only the first was ever published, leaving the game in an uncomfortable, half-overhauled state. Gamers were given little to no practical advice on how to convert their existing characters to the new rules, and TSR never published any further products using the "Zebulon's" concepts. Fan reaction even today has been mixed, with fans ether using the best elements, incorporating the additions to the best of their ability, or rejecting it outright.
