I ran a session on Sunday night, and the one request my players made was that we not wait so long before we play again. :)
It's hard for me to believe that it had been that long since we last played, but one player confirmed that it had actually been 11 months! :o
So, anybody else currently playing FTF?
I don't think we could go without Star Trek roleplaying for 11 months. The same goes for WEG's Star Wars.
The last time we played Trek was about 4 or 5 days ago. And a lot happened. That seems to be the way of it with a CODA session. A lot can happen in a playing session. A lot of story can be told.
Not counting the adventure I ran at Origins back in June, its been almost 9 months since I've run Coda Trek. I do miss it and hope to be back to it soon.
I'm lucky to play anything twice a year, these days :(
It's been over two years since I ran any Star Trek, which I'm missing...
You guys should live with half your gaming group like I do - both my Narrator and her sister moved in with me last summer. They were living in the sunroom, and had it made over into a kind of studio apartment until a water-pipe broke and but the kibosh on that arrangement !
But, that's why we get to play so often !
Your lucky!
I played the last time 4 years ago. Any attempt to restart the game failed miserably.
It's no good to have a Group composed of actors and Authors. They have no time to spare at all.
I had some great times back then. Two of my players translate ST-Novels to german. They know the franchise inside out.
Hell I miss playing.
Glad to hear there's still a number of groups out there playing still! We're going to try to get together in about two weeks; no more going nearly a year between sessions! :)
We play nearly every other day, except at the weekends which are aimed at other RPG and wargames. Longest running character is my wife's Klingon, Vulcan hybrid called T'Pak. I sometimes get to play but mostly GM. When I do get to roleplay its as Keysanliu my Orion inventor/explorer and his wingman a Lamatya/Vulcan genetically created lifeform. One of the advantages of being gm is that you get to run so many characters yourself.
I almost feel ashamed to say that the last time I plated face-to-face was over fourteen years ago.
Someday I'll run a Trek game. Someday.
However, now that copies of Ashen Stars are in people's hands, I can finally start polishing my Gumshoe-Trek adaption...
Nothing to be ashamed of. I got into roleplaying back in the late 80s, but hadn't played for well over a decade before I picked up a pair of dice again in 2009.Quote:

I looked everywhere for an image of a Lamatya. And I couldn't find one, or anything about them on Memory Alpha, or Memory Beta. I'm guessing they're an Animated Series race, or from one of the Star Trek novels.Quote:

Do you happen to have a species write-up, or CODA stats on them ?
I think they mean Le-Matya. So, uh, Vulcan Catperson.
About 6 weeks ago we started our first Trek RPG campaign for 6 years. We're onto episode 5 this weekend. Going well so far!
I have run one Prime Directive campaign in the meantime but that kind of fell apart for time reasons when I crammed an engagement, wedding, PhD thesis completion and first baby into a single year... It was a rather interesting Romulan campaign, but couldn't compete with RL at the time.
Ahhhhh - ok ! I know what a Le Matya is, I just didn't make the connection. That sounds like some tricky genetic engineering. And a very interesting character !Quote:

Sorry to hear about some of you who are itching to play but haven't. The best advice I can give is to find a friend (or two) and just go for it! My 21 year old campaign (which has had as many as 10 active players in it) currently has about 8 participants (when we're all there), but we started with only 4 of us (me, my brother, my brother-in-law, and my wife's cousin).
A lot of our playing is just goofing off, and filler. It takes our Narrator about a week to prep a really important mission. Right now we have two stories going.
The USS Legacy is investigating a mining disaster at a planet called Argon III, and the USS Cavalier is trying to track down a kidnapped Federation ambassador.
Both are TNG-era / post Dominion War set stories.
Ours also is the same timeframe (post Dominion War), circa 2380.
Not waiting a year between sessions this time, we finished up our third episode two weeks after the first segment. See the post titled "The Neutral Zone" for a summary of our latest chapter.
Most exciting of all, the players (and GM) had a blast, and everyone is eager to find a date in September to continue the adventure! :cool:
We're in the middle of two story-lines.
The USS Legacy is at a planet called Argon III investigating a mining disaster that the science chief doesn't believe was a naturally occurring accident. Meanwhile the USS Cavalier is trying to find a kidnapped Federation ambassador.
The latter of the two stories is a part of our ongoing arch involving the Cardassians, trying to gain admission to the Federation, and another race - the Vakurans - trying to stop them so the Cardassians wont have Federation backup when the Vaklurans try to invade Cardassia Prime.
We get a lot of our ideas for writing, and roleplaying from this site.

It's an old internet RPG, shut down now for 9 years. But the stories are some of the best Trek in my opinion.
