The ship's translator program obviously has a few bugs in it...

A bait-and-switch might be in order: Have either the "separate native species" OR the "mutated Romulans" version of the facts be the accepted version in your game, then have your players discover...

Y'know, for the past year I've been teaching at college-level and sometimes I think the only reason I stick with it is that it's such a great source of material for this game...

In other news,...

Ah.

Possibly I didn't provide enough information, and so was mis-read.

The campaign takes place a year after the end of the Dominion war. The physical Academy has mostly been rebuilt but the...

Well.

Our second game of the Starfleet Academy campaign was last week and it went even better than the first one. Some adjustments were made to the campaign after gauging their reception last...

Why read anything less than the best?

I find that "pilot" episodes work best when I go easy on the plotting and heavy on the setting. I don't need to establish a lot of stuff, just to introduce it. I try to keep the adventure simple, as...

Wow, thanks for all the material there, Chris!

I can certainly use a lot of this: Intercollegiate sports is something I hadn't considered, but now the PCs will be going on the road ( either as...

Thanks for the tip.

I guess they did look a little old for Cadets, but where did you get that information?

Also, all I have on Vrex Ball is the name ( p. 31 in the Handbook ). I guess I could...

Ah... I'm not sure what you're saying here JALU3:



Is this one of those scary American things?:eek:

Anyways, I've started putting together the second game, where the PCs go through...

Ha ha ha!

Tonight was was the first game of our new campaign, our first in five years! Oh, we played a few other things in between there, some D&D and a little GURPS, but nothing like the big Star...

I loathed it the first time I heard it, and have since muted it every time it came on. Hah.

A friend of mine, who deals directly with a distributor, got an "early pre-order form" for it yesterday afternoon. I guess it's on its way sooner than later.

How about a Zero-Gravity cathouse called "The Gee Spot"?

"Bordello 5, the last, best hope for..." (the last part of that particular Okudagram is always broken, of course).

For a holodeck escort...

This one goes back a while.

In September 1992, we were playing an adventure adapted from the unproduced Phase II episode "The Savage Syndrome", later to turn up as TNG's season 7 episode...

I find it gives too much away, stunts-wise.

Well...

I don't understand the reasoning behind awarding experience in a lump sum to be divided between however many players participate in an adventure... Doesn't this bias the advancement in...

La Grange

From an actual cathouse in Texas that ZZ Top got the name of their song from. Also, if your starbase happens to be at the Lagrange point between a planet and its moon, all the better!

Mister,

Your views horrify me. Unfortunately, they seem depressingly popular these days.

Death and Taxes, by which is meant Religion and Politics, are two topics covering such a broad range of...

I initially very much doubted that, as my first language IS french and the word for foreigner is "étranger" (from the old-timey "estrange", from which english gets "strange" and "stranger" and the...

Two more that I noticed some time ago while reading "Flashman and the Mountain of Light" by George MacDonald fraser:

Ferengi comes from Feringhee which is stated to be hindi for foreigner.

I doubt I would ever attempt a plot like yours, as I don't think my players would enjoy it at all, but if I thought they might...

Hi,

For a small ship of around the era you're looking for, I'd suggest the Archer or Curran classes from the amazing Starfleet Museum. You may have to fudge the dates a bit but it looks VERY good...

Minutiae scoop!

I just got the new Previews catalogue (the June issue for stuff shipping in August), which I guess won't ship in the States until tomorrow because of the Memorial Day holiday. On...

-Erhershman: +2 Vitality, +1 Perception; -1 Presence, -1 Agility.

Your figures are interesting, but don't quite jibe with how I see my Arcadians. I think you're right in assigning a -1 Agility...
