The latest issue is one article from being released. I have to insert it, format it, and add artwork/pics... which time has not allowed.
We have a 1 year old that keeps us preoccupied for the better part of the day and by the time I can sit to myself, I usually add a couple posts to my PbP game and then go watch TV with the wife.
I will get it done, and it will be before the end of August. I appreciate the patience.
That's awesome ;-) I didn't know that. All the best to you and your growing family!Quote:

Well, sure, if you're gonna let FAMILY get in the way.... :)
Thanks, Nico! We are up to four now and the baby machine has been officially shut down. Sara was a complete surprise to us when we found out, but she has been an amazing addition.Quote:

@Tomcat:
Dropped you a PM! ;)
Well, August is no longer an option unless I consider August 2013. Work is still going on. The good news is that this ish is over 30 pages of goodies.
I'd throw one more thing at you if I thought you'd let me live....
Go for it Patrick. I have the ish apart right now, so no time better.
On that happy note- let me throw one more thing at Patrick to possibly throw at you....Quote:

Roger: Got the latest species write-up you sent, and I like that take, too.
Updated! Part of an incremental update; as I get a chance, I should be able to sneak more up there today or tomorrow. We'll see. This one is mostly alien species writeups, with a couple of other sundries thrown in.
GREAT STUFF !!
I love those Alien write-ups. My compliments to Roger Taylor & his co-writers. Wonderful work, guys !!
I especially love the Brikar, Edoan, and Caitian write-ups. You wouldn't happen to have a Hermat hanging around somewhere ? I'd love to see that.
Patrick - the TNG crew-stats will be coming your way this evening. I had to redo part of them as I lost some of my conversions moving stuff over to a new computer. Very sorry for the delay.
I am sorry to say this but I do not want to hold the process up any longer. I visit here on a regular basis, but my Star Trek gaming has come to a halt. Life is busy and I find it hard to dedicate time to anything with gaming, except for my current Star Wars game.
That said, I have the latest issue of Beyond the Final Frontier all but done except for two of the articles. Is there anyone out there that has MS Word and the ability to generate PDF's that wants to finish this issue up.
Sorry, Patrick, but I am letting this fall through the cracks and I would rather it doesn't.
Let me know if you want to finish the layout and I will send you all the materials.
Thanks.
I'd love to help out, but we use Open Office - and really, it can't make things look as cool as some other programs. It does good for simple, graphics lite PDFs for printing on ink-hungry puters. But, I don't think it would work for setting up something for a quality publication like BtFF.
That said, I'd be willing to help where I can.
Yeah, shoot it to the strpg addy, Tomcat.
EDIT: Fugazi Grrl, I got the TNG stats and they'll go up...soonish. Depends on how a couple of paying gigs play with my time.
He did an update? He still does that? Mostly starships this time, though there should be some aliens and critters coming shortly. Link is in my sig.
Hey thanks Patrick. Its good to know you still make time for the Trek site even with your busy schedule. Keep the dream alive, my friend.
And some aliens up to join the starships! More stuff tomorrow!
Thanks for the update Patrick!
I'd like to add both my own gratitude and a bit of fair warning. ;)
The real world has put a fairly hefty damper on my Trek efforts of late, but I hope to have another avalanche (if only a small one) of material for you in the next couple of weeks.
Patrick, I was wondering if the next issue is still in the works, or if it's a dead issue (pun intended).
Owen, the sad fact is I don't know. I'm not feeling a lot of enthusiasm lately...and not just for BTFF. I'm not feeling a lot of enthusiasm for much of anything. I'm in a down cycle right now on the old bipolar rollercoaster.
I've got a "labor of love" project that I haven't touched in ages, and every time I open it up it asks me, "Does anyone really care about this? It's not flashy new shiny 24th century stuff, or 25th century, or JJ-Trek, or anything like that, and people just don't care about the classic stuff anymore" and I just close it. And I hate that I'm feeling like this.
I started a project to try and give fans a Klingon book, like they say they wanted, and I got a solid, "Whoop-de-do" out of it. You've seen the project space. I can't remember the last time it was touched. No one cares.
I'll get back to BTFF when things start looking a little better, but right now, between my issues and some medical issues at home...BTFF isn't even a distant second.
I hear ya man. My best friend is severely bipolar - what they call an extremely rapid cycler. So I have some slight idea what you're going through. He has days where he sleeps 18 hours at a stretch, and days where he can't lie down at all. Me, I just get depressive episodes due to my stroke where I sleep 36 hours, just able to get up for mealtimes. So, if it helps (and I know it probably doesn't), there are people pulling for you.
I open my text files every once in a while and poke at them.Quote:

Thanks for the latest update.
Yes, thank you Patrick. I check your site regularly when I'm running (which is soon) and often when I'm not (which is now).
Here is something that has been sitting on my PC for a couple years now. I decided to remove the article that was still unformatted so that it could be released, as there is some good stuff here.
I have tons of content still that can be formatted and delivered as another issue - but it may take me some time. Real life has a way of putting the hobbies on the backburner.
Anyway, enjoy!
Shout out to Patrick and his work on this issue.
Thanks to both Patrick and Tomcat. After a long hiatus, I'm looking to run some ST, so I'm poking around again. Good timing :)
(EDIT: For a fully CGI Edoan/Edosian, check out the latest Phase II clip - here (note that the link starts at approx. minute 7 of the clip).
Many thanks! Good to see another issue on the "shelves"
How about this: http://www.comicvine.com/images/1300-923880
I've added a new website resource site.
http://startrekrpgdecipher.kccomputing.net/
I've also added an editable PDF Character sheet to the site that you can download.
I haven't tested it out yet in a real game, but it should make character creation and editing hopefully a lot easier.
The Editable PDF Character sheet allows you to enter info and numbers into the PDF and save it to your computer where you can update any time you want (no more erasing).
I also added some auto calculations, number comparisons and auto-population fucntions.
You can find the download for that here:
http://startrekrpgdecipher.kccomputi...pdf-resources/
I'll make sure to get a link to your site up on mine the next time I do an update.
I've created a savable online character sheet system. Feel free to create an account and add a character.

Just wanted to say I've already yoinked just about everything I think I'll ever use from http://strpg.patrickgoodman.org/ already. Definitely every copy of BtFF.
A-freaking-mazing motherload of material. Cannot express my awe and thanks enough. :D
The first substantial updates in over five years to the premier Decipher Star Trek RPG support site, Beyond the Final Frontier, have been going up over the past couple of days. There have been dozens of new and updated entries, and I haven't even come close to all of the new material that I will be putting up over the next few days. If you still use the Decipher CODA system, please come and check us out.
I have some bad news for fans of Fugazi Grrl and her daughter Fugazi Mija: For personal reasons, they've asked me to take down all of their material.
I'm having some connection issues at the moment, so you have a little bit of time, but they will be disappearing soon.
That's unfortunate. They contributed quite a bit of material.Quote:
