The big complaint here is that the Federation as presented in TNG-DS9-Voy is too much like communism to be acceptable?

You may have problems with socialism or communism as they've operated in our...

Why? The beauty of the having an economy that has access to unlimited resources is that if someone needs it they can have it. Doesn't matter what your rank, prestige or influence. If you need a...

My players don't know this, but its probably ok to freak them out now by posting this here, but my campaign has been headed toward war for the past five months.

Deep Space 11, headquarters for the...

I toyed with using the Officer Efficiency Ratings and roles for next assignment. I substituted the bonus for high intelligence with the player's Reknown scores. A 13 Reknown equaled a +13 percent...

When I got to play in my own campaign for a special adventure created by one of the players, I created a character that may fit into this discussion.

She was a U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. who had trained...

In my campaign we played the events of Insurrection as being chronologically aligned with DS9. I know it came out in December 1998. If I remember correctly, it was a little after "Siege of AR-558." ...

I don't understand why everyone's so upset about the new show being set before TOS.

Think about it. This will give us a chance to see how the Federation began. We get to see how Humans and Vulcan...

When we started playing, FASA in TOS era, I was a player onboard the USS Destiny, a Constitution class ship that seemed to make contact with a new species or world every week. Toward the end we...

Never understood that. Why build a cheap phaser when you have access to phasers at any time you need them?

I base my campaign's uniform regs on what I've seen on DS9 and Voyager. It seems to me that with three duty shifts everyone has plenty of off time to relax and sleep. You wear your uniform when you...

Actually I save up all my pointing and laughing at that other show with muppets in space, hence the farzcapinos. Farzcapinos affect biological matter and make it do strange things, like burp or hear...

I my campaign, after several lenghtly discussions, we came up with a good compromise. At a player's suggestion, the UFP ground forces are called the Planetary Defense Force, nicknamed the Marines...

I actually reward my players for creative uses of treknology. I've never had a problem with this affecting the story I'm trying to tell. Sometimes though this takes a simple misdirection of player's...

US Space Command is currently supervised by a USAF general yes but it is made up of experts from all branches of the U.S. military service.

And while many marines do serve as guards, try telling...

I allow players to use the overlays as guides but expect them to spend the DPs on skills they want or need for the type of character they want to play.

In my campaign you can switch positions or...

Think about it. Why didn't we hear much about Star Trek Generations until the summer before it came out? Simple, Star Trek The Next Generation was still on the air and finishing up its series run....

Most Favorite
1. Worf (my role model)
2. Data (tin man who gets a heart)
3. Spock (funny dry humor)
4. Tom Paris (bad boy gone good)
5. Jean-Luc Picard (natural leader)
6. Kira (tough character...

So the big complaint is continuity? The writers and producers do make an effort to keep fans happy by keeping continuity on track. But they don't let continuity lawyers from derailing good...

One of the things I like best as a player in a TOS setting was that our GM made it really feel like we were in S P A C E. We couldn't contact homebase and talk to an admiral for assistance or even...

I doubt the Polish, Hungarians, northern French, western Russians and most mediterainians think giving people a say in their own government and removing the control of aristocrats doomed Europe. Last...

How does this work?

Actually these sound like very interesting characters, very much what could have been expected if Roddenberry was casting the original series in 2001. I like the details about the doctor and the...

For my campaign we actually try to use ourselves as the models. When we use famous people it is either just for the image or just for the attitude. Never both. Here is how it breaks down.

Why not just talk about it here? Am I missing something? Is Yahoo paying people to create things on their website and pull people from other websites?

Actually, the novel "Pathways" by Jeri Taylor says Tom Paris did switch to the campus in France. And the novel is one of only a few printed works that are accepted as canon by Paramount.

In fact,...
