Jack Photon's 3rd Edition Framework House Rules
Jack Photon's 3rd Edition Framework is fully deprecated!
Some files remain online for those who do not want to go to the 4.0th Fantaversary Revision.
This thread is otherwise historical and links should only be used by those few folks with 3rd Edition rule books.

Hey all,
Yesterday I released my long overdue work on the FASA Trek rules.
Found here under 'House Rules'.

Get them while they last. The internet giveth and can taketh without warning.
My aim was to de-Wheeler-ize the 2nd edition rules back into 1st edition thinking, injecting Stardate and other sources into the flow, all while offering alternative thoughts on some rules and replacing others entirely with my house rules assembled over the years.
The ST CBT guys were using the term '3rd edition' for their work, so I titled mine. The Fanta crew were using 'Framework' to describe their work. So too I, for this is an updated framework to rest your campaign upon.
Book 1 is completely revised character creation, including Enlisted and Citizens, awards, medals, lifepaths, revised and added Attributes and Abilities and many other little tweaks.
Book2 is the game mechanics, largely 1st edition spiked with 2nd edition and some house tweaks along with Stardate and other sources
Book 3 is the appendices for PCs and GMs with charts, forms, listings, and more.
A spread of new character sheets and customizable GM screens with all the old and new tables gathered for fast reference.
Medium Quality pdfs are there for a quick look for those with limited or slower connections. Medium Quality is not suitable for printing, go with Full Quality.
There is a Briefing Room link on my site that will collect all Q&A I get from across the web.
Looking to release the Adversaries into the 3rd edition framework for the 40th Fanta-versary next year. Will also release a 40th Ann revision of my house rules based on feedback from around the web. Other Supplements will include collecting all the economic, histories and so on into a cohesive format. NPC packs, maybe Modules and more stuff like that too.
Please enjoy the site.
