Klingon LUG Sourcebook (fan made)

Hi there,

As I have been reading the posts on the Cardassian Sourcebook the amount of interest there is to start creating a Klingon Sourcebook for LUG in the style of the Cardassian Netbook and the Way of D'Era Romulan book, How about a bunch of us get together at somepoint and discuss who can do what to create a quality publication for everyone to download.

I know there are a quite a few people who want to contribute something to the "pot", so, shall we start a new forum (with Don's permission) or a Yahoo group and start collating information and artwork to get something out by...say...September 2003?

What do folk think?

I'd just like to point out that you don't need my permission to create your own Yahoo group.... ;)

Also, I'm sure someone will chime in on the various (aborted) attempts on making a Klingon SB and perhaps some reference links on work done thus far.

But Don you are "The All-Powerful Creator" so should we not ask just to be polite :)

So has there been any commitments from any one on this subject...this time around?

I would love to see a Klingon sourcebook, as the few brief sneak previews from the planned LUG book were really good - the part about the Klingon hormone similar to testosterone which is what makes them so aggressive was excellent and realistic from a biological and evolutionary standpoint. I'd be willing to help out with ideas and support if anyone wanted to tackle writing the thing (sadly, I'm devoid of Adobe Acrobat and my writing style is too dry, given it's geared towards scientific publication). I will (if Telewest ever deliver the *!£$?!ing CD) be online in my flat soon (as opposed to using the Web when my boss isn't watching...) so should be a bit quicker responding than I was when helping review the Spacedock SRMs.

There were some threads about it in the past, and I even managed to grab the Starships chapter, but that is primarily how far it got. Like the Planet Sourcebook, sadly.

Is there any chance of it starting up again? If needed I could help with some of the stuff for it if needed.

Someone Interested in help?

It would be a pleasure to help!

Well...........thanks for the offers............we'll have to meet up in the trek chat room in mIRC or I'll start a Yahoo group.

I did receive a email from a chap called Thierry Duff that had a Microsoft Word document of what someone had already created for a Klingon Sourcebook.........I'll distribute it around and we'll have a brainstorming session about how we are going to approach this.

I did read about the hoo-ha with the "klingon Language Academics" argueing with the gamers about things......I don't want any of that.......I want to create a two book sourcepack like the Cardassian sourcepack is (if any of those chaps would like to help, I'd be grateful.:) )

Speak to you soon


Lars :D

Did I miss that one?

Where would i find the Cardassian sourcebook?

Thanks

Try a search for the phase 'Cardassian Sourcebook', it'll give you a link for downloading.

Its very cool (but then I would say that I contributed :) ).

I'll be with you - if I get the ship chapter ;)

At home I've got a range of ships already finished , along with some sketches.

Speaking of fan made sourcebooks, whatever happened to the Trill book?

Get your bums to The Ferengi Blue Rooms sharpish as The Klingon Soursebook is now taking ideas and entries and all kinds of bumf in the new forum Zak has created!

I have posted the first snippet I'd like people to have a read and critique.......


See you there


Lars :D

URL please? I've never been to that site before.

After looking at the sample chapters for a Klingon sourcebook, I am left wanting. I want to make a Klingon character!

So I was wondering... what happened to the Klingon sourcebook plans? I'd be interested in contributing to the effort.

I visited the Ferengi Blue Room and didn't see anything in the Forums there. Sounds like ship stats and sketches are already in the works, which is a great beginning!

Are there any current online resources for creating an ICON Klingon character?

Last year I was sent a Microsoft Word Document from a chap called Thierry MacDuff with a load of Klingon stuff......I think I have it on a cd, because recently my PC was attacked by a frelling virus and I had to reinstall my PC from scratch!:mad:

Be patient.....If I find it I shall get it onto the Ferengi Blue Rooms download section......but I'd like to point out that I'd like to take some things from it and add other stuff and redesign the layout.

Setvenharis et al,

Aside from Tolkien's Dwarves, Rodenbury's Klingons are one of my favourite races. I'd be more than interested in any work on such a creation (don't know how much I can contribute - my resources are kinda slim right now). I may have a copy of Klingon Academy (the PC game), may have some information that could be used (if sited properly). Same with the ST: Armada I & II games and ST: DSN - Dominion Wars, may have some information in their books and on-disc files that could be used as a reference. I'll take a look.

Speaking of references and siting, is there a proper electronic sitation guide? The last I saw one was Turabian's, but that was 4 years ago - she may have updated here style guide. I'll take a look - plagerism, bad.
