I was wondering if anyone here is interested in an on-forum game?
I would be the narrator and the rules would be CODA. I have a few ideas that I am going to type out, but I am open to all ideas. :) If anyone is interested leave a post here or shoot off an email to zak@ltcmdrmatt.com . THANKS! :)
Yo! :)
Suggestions: TOS or Movie era. ;) Starship...exploration. :) And you even have a plethora of ships to use from all of the major (and minor) players! :D :D
I'm interested too!!!
Alright here is the basic concept that I have been thinking about.
Its late 24th century, not sure exactly when as of yet. The crew is a mixed bunch. With the Klingons having high Federation tolernace, the two have become allies. There is an old Klingon junkyard that is based around a planet in the Pheben system. Starfleet has been asked to send a small crew to administer the station. The junkyard holds all broken down useless ships from pre-2330. There are only four Klingons on the planet that are actually in command of the base. The idea behind the whole thing is that maybe with the Klingons can builkd a joint defence against the Romulans, and the Federation believes that they can build a worthy trade route.
Characters can be Human and Klingon, among others. All Sensible Alpha and Beta quadrant races allowed unless I specify otherwise when you send me the characters. I am thinking that this game will be a mix of local politics and exploration, along with defense and tactical movements with the Romulans being so close. Any takers on this setting?
Im very much interested in playing :)
What are the details concerning character creation? What's in and what's not?
GOB
I would prefer it if the pick method is used.
As far as races go with common sense and what is outlined in Aliens as being acceptable player races.
Characters can be a mix of starfleet/rogue/klingon crews. :)
I also have another idea for a series. It would take place about a year after Voyager returns. The Federation is quite interested in the Delta Quadrant, and would lik eto send a long range explorer through the Barzan wormhole to explore for a long time, possibly going through several generations to get back home. Not a mission for the light hearted crewman, but it could be interesting to see how things are going in the DQ. If anyone has any campaigns they would like to see, give me some details. :)
Small update, Chief Engineer and Commanding Officer are now taken...
I too am interested, and offer to play the executive officer. My character concept is one which I originally developed over a year ago and was going to use for Aslan's aborted post-Dominion War campaign. Without further preamble:
Meredith Kettering Davies is a veteran Starfleet officer whose personal genius lay in strategic analysis and logistics. She initially served in emergency management and disaster relief, where she developed a hands-on approach to problem-solving. During the Klingon War, Meredith was reassigned to strategic operations when her expertise came to the attention of Starfleet Command. Not content to rely solely on others for intelligence information, she went so far as to conduct several reconaissance missions on her own... sometimes in violation of her orders. Meredith never hesitates to accept the consequences of her actions, however, and is not afraid to get her hands dirty. The results she achieves tend to mitigate her occasional flouting of regulations. When the Pheben assignment was posted, Meredith jumped at the chance to get out from behind her desk and back into space.
RaconteurX that sounds good. It looks as though we are going through with the starbase game, please send me the stats via email, but I am probably going to approve the character without any hold ups. I am thinking that you are a Lieutenant or a Lieutenant Commander, either 5 or 6 advancements. Send me what you have though and I will be glad to discuss it with you.
Okay, count me out, then. :)Quote:

Sorry Sea Tyger, I have just had more requests for the starbase game. My apologies man!
Six advancements is roughly what I had in mind. I do not have my Trek books on hand tonight, but will email you before week's end with Meredith's stats. Do you want us to purchase Promotion at a level sufficient to achieve our character's assigned ranks, or is that a "freebie"?

Great! I do not have a start date posted as of yet. A few more things need to happen, but I am hoping at the latest the first week of the new year just because of the holidays.
Are we still on for our January 3rd start? Also, do we want to use this thread, or start a new one? I have a character vignette that I am preparing, and would like to know where to post it. I hope to have it finished by Saturday or Sunday evening. :)
I apologize for missing the start date. I still need characters! You know who you are. I am hoping to reschedule to start later this week. :)
Sorry for the lateness. I have been a bit busy recently and my Internet acess has been a bit reduced, but I'll do my best to send my character before the end of the week.
Sorry again :o
So, what spiffy title do we want to give this campaign? Something nice and traditional, albeit boring, like "Star Trek: Outpost 244" or something with a bit of flair like "In the Shadow of Algeron"? I am a firm believer in good campaign titles... :)
I am feeling Star Trek: Forgotten
Beats "Star Trek: Human Occupied Landfill"... cool. :)Quote:

I'd like to participate, but unfortunately I don't know anything about the CODA system. I would either join or start a group here with it, but there's no interest, so it's nigh impossible to do so in real life.
If you don't mind taking a complete newbie under your wing, I'd like to join up.
As long as you can handle creating a character in CODA, there is little problem. Still, our august narrator may feel he has sufficient bodies already. You may want to email him directly at the address he provided in the first post of this thread, or send him a private message. If you have a cool character concept to send him, that might increase your odds of getting in. :)Quote:

Sure, yes we do have science positions open. Do you have any instant messengers so maybe I can help you if you need it?Quote:

RaconteurX: I am still trying to think of a specific format for the threads, give me a bit more time, but save that vignette.
I'm on MSN and AIM

Hey all!
I'd be interested in participating. Is there still room for another player?
I really, really like the idea of a starship junkyard. I just watched Unification (TNG) yesterday and was reminded of how neat that idea is. The possibilities for gaming in such a setting sound very interesting.
My last post to this forum was during the aborted game some time ago, the post-Dominion War starbase game. I was really excited about that game but it fizzled just as it was getting off the ground.
I still have my Bolian Science Officer character from that game. However, if a Science Officer isn't needed, or if a Bolian is a little out of place, I'd be more than happy to make a new character. I'd love to make a Klingon character, or an engineer, or perhaps both?
I look forward to potentially gaming with you.

Hi Mark... nice to see another "DS12" refugee. Whether there is still space available would be for for our esteemed narrator to decide but, unless Aitrus rectified the situation, we should have Science positions open. I am not certain how well a Bolian would mix with Klingons, but Zak did say that all sensible Alpha and Beta Quadrant species were permitted unless otherwise specified. I would email him directly at the address he provided in his first post.Quote:

I have final exams(high school) for the next week. I will try and have the game started ASAP(still waiting on a character)...
So far was players as these positions...
CO
XO
CEO
COS
CSO
Medical Officer
Ferengi Station Shop Owner
Anything you choose is alright with me. A bolian science officer would be fine, although I would prefer you to play Operations... if you are tied between Science and Ops. Bolian is not a problem with me. Should be interesting as how he plays out with Klingons. :)
What in the world is a COS?
COS is the Chief of Security
Oh, and LtCdr Matt, I'm sending my character sheet sometime tonight. I used the Character Generator in the CODA games forum to generate it, although I do have the Player's Guide handy to watch it with. If there's any severe change you want done to it, just tell me.
Let me go over some shorthand I use as far as positions...
CO=Commanding Officer
XO= Executive(First) Officer
CEO= Chief Engineering Officer
CSO= Chief Sciences Officer
COS= Chief of Security
CMO= Chief Medical Officer
Sorry about the confusion :)
The species breakdown, last I heard, was:
CO = Human
XO = Human
CEO = Klingon
COS = Klingon
What are our CSO and CMO? And will we have a Bolian Chief of Operations as well?
Okay, that's it, my character has finally been posted. Sorry everyone for the delay, I had a rather rough time recently.
Its quite alright C5. I am hoping to begin next weekend...because I have Final Exams this week. You will have to pardon that. :)
Hey everyone, I'd still like to join if I can. I too have had some school-related business this past week. Fortunately, it looks like you haven't started yet.
Sounds like I'd be playing the Chief of Ops. I could use my Bolian character, but on re-reading the setting description, I think I could come up with something more appropriate for a Klingon/Federation junkyard on the frontier. Mot the Barber doesn't strike me as the type. ;) I think I'll make something a little more rough and tumble, like an Andorian... trading one blue skin for another.
Ltcmdrmatt, does an Andorian character sound okay for the setting? I'll put together the character right now and email you the character sheet today for you to look over for approval.
Status report: I don't know when we are going ot start. Honestly I am very tied up with school and getting administrative duties worked out on the game. Don't worry guys, I am still here.
Fear not, we understand. Life has a way of throwing you curves, especially when you were not even aware you were at bat and playing baseball. :)
I'm waiting patiently too, but let me just say... Let the games begin! :D
Ltcmdrmatt, like I said... if you need any assistance with GM/Narrator responsibilities, I'll be more than happy to help out.
I am still here guys. I have not looked at my email int he past week or so. hang in there, maybe anoher week...again I apologize.
A refit Defiant-Class vessel, the Anarchy, is assigned to what ended-up being euphemistically labelled as "The Pit", for obvious reasons. Starfleet's post Nemesis last-resort.
Run by a batch of disillusioned, glory-deprived, drunkard Klingons that either don't know or don't care about the Khitomer Accords or the newly appointed Ambassador Worf & Chancellor Martok.
The discipline problems of the Alpha Quadrant Alliance have each been singled out for demotion for a variety of reasons, (personal hygiene, sexist braggers, or insubordination, among their issues,) by their superiors, & shunted to the Klingon junkyard without being told very much about the details of their new duty position until its too late to back out.
The old science vessel assigned to the station to perform rudimentary bureaucratic tasks between The Pit & Kronos, is a dangerously neglected old rustbucket that's currently barely capable of reaching full-impulse by the time it reaches the perimeter of the solar system.
They hunger to be true warriors despite their embarrassing lot in life.
The Senior Klingons often endeavour to leave the Borg alone in the hopes they'll reciprocate when the occasional Cube shows up to liberate raw materials & components from their stock.
The S.C.E. Team assigned to this hayseed civilization has its work cut out for them.
The Anarchy, a conjectural Klingon-ized Defiant-Class. Built as but one of many experiments in different trial & error attempts to make Federation & Non-Federation preferences & technologies compatible, affordable & user-friendly in the heat of battle.
An ultimately rejected wargame model used versus other more contemporary escort designs (i.e.: The B'rel-Class B.O.P.) until the High Command settled on a more consistant configuration --- the "Klalath-Class"). The Anarchy is far more utilitarian as a quick strike vessel than its similarily-designed precursors, the U.S.S. Valiant, U.S.S. Sao Paulo & U.S.S. Defiant.
