Hm. Yes, I like the layout less and less. It is silly to have that information in two different places like that - and then have each section list some of the information the same and some of it...

Gee, thanks. "Worse" than the color disaster?

Well, there's no accounting for taste, I guess.

Ok. I think I have it (? - well, I thought that twice now)

Choose personal background (follow the pick 1 pick 3 thing)

Choose professional background - do not take all the listed skills, just...

Ok, maybe I just don't understand the nature of the "background" set up.

Select the non-professional background (what kind of environment you grew up in) and pick skills (just follow the pick 1,...

I agree, I've been gaming for 20 years (admittedly, most of it HERO system) and character creation is a little fuzzy for me, too.

Question 1:

So if I pick Professional package for, say,...

DOH! :eek:

I'm a whole version behind...

Ah well, it was 15-20 minutes not doing work here at the office... lol

If anyone's interested in the B&W style like the thumbnail, I'll toss the two...

I've taken the Decipher sheet, turned it into black & white (not greyscale... solid black and solid white) and inverted it... so it's black text on white paper... (and had to re-invert some of the...

FYI: Decipher has pdf versions of the char sheet included in the book available for download.

Sure, it's ugly. So? :)

Hmmm. That is one way of looking at it, but I disagree to an extent.

You can dodge if no one is shooting at you, can't you? You can bob and weave while shooting and you will be harder to hit, even...

Holodecks may have existed but with very restricted use (to be honest, look at how many decks there are on a Galaxy class... now assume everyone gets 2 hour sessions... how long between sessions? And...

I wanted to add for the possible benefit of discussion that my group ranges from 6-10 people (so at least 50% of the group is Joe Security).

It does sound a lot more military leaning, doesn't it?...

*scratching head*

I pitched the campaign idea to my players and surprisingly, when asked what characters/positions they wanted to play they almost universally shunned the department head/command...

Would anyone like any toast?

Bagel?

Waffle?

Are you sure you wouldn't like some toast?

If the ship isn't "huge" then it can be easily disabled (shoot out the engines, tractor beams, etc). This means you need another McGuffintech explanation to prevent that sort of thing.

The idea...

"Look, it's heading for that small moon."

"That's no moon. It's a battle station."

"It's too large to be a battle station..."

Oops, sorry... too many commericals.


I'm assuming this...

You mean like old-schoolers and new agers in conflict about where they should go from that point in time? How would that work in the Cardassian social structure where it seems all about who has the...

Ferengi space, IIRC, is right where the Romulan, Cardassian and Federation borders meet... kind of like a hub in a three spoke wheel.

"Cardassia and Romulus are friends now, but that doesn't mean...

I'm not familiar with the Alternity Stardrive setting, but maybe I can hunt up some stuff on it to, er, "borrow."

The whole post-Dominion war, Cardassian space thing doesn't feel overdone, does it?

That's a lot of people being hunted down and wiped out.

You might consider one of the tools of "hunting them down" to be falsified criminal charges (or maybe legit ones that have been blown way up...

This isn't going to be typed out very well, since it's still in me wee widdle hayud...thanks for your patience.


The time: Not long after the Dominion War

The situation: Cardassia’s weakened...

Alternate history doesn't have to be stuck on Earth if you want sweeping changes.

What if vulcans found romulans much, much sooner and they "rejoined." Would you have two classes of people? Would...

I agree. I think her kidney shaped head makes her "ugly." You can have the nicest female body in the world, but if you put Danny Devito's face on top that's "ugly."

I like the look of Enterprise.

I guess Enterprise haters will just have to learn to live it with the same way some of us had to live with Star Trek: Love Boat... oh, I mean The Next Generation...

I like the sheet, I think. :) I'm not totally sold on bendy colored bars all over the place, but I think I like it (if that makes sense).

I am getting a weird black bar under the star trek logo,...

Thanks.

I was thinking that, in the show, a lot of it takes place on the ship. If I have some sort of alien entity in a cargo bay that is expanding and taking over stuff as it goes... is that next...
