Thanks for the heads up on the dead link.

Looks like someone cobbled together some house stats that emulates the old Fasa formatting and look. Not bad.

I had some time and just for fun, I edited the Trader character and Starfleet sheets to update it for the 24th C.
It can be found on my gaming blog here:

I stumbled upon this website where someone wrote up racial modifiers when rolling up a character.
If you scroll past their take on SFB characters (how I despise Star Fleet battles) to the middle...
Audio of an interview where he discusses developing the Star Trek RPG. How he got into designing tabletop RPGs, Working with Paramount and FASA on a licensed game; Why he stopped working with FASA;...
Three links for stuff I posted about the good old days of playing FASA trek back in the 80s:
1) My group back in 1985 did some tweaking of the rules for promotions and such:

Thanks.
I'm not so sure. The Next Generation has done a pretty good job of wiping the slate clean with all of their retconning. Hardly any young fan, weaned on TNG, nowadays appreciates what Trek...

So far, only my friends who RPGed with me in the 80s get "it."
I agree. I sorely miss the old FASA ST: RPG. Some of the happiest years of my life were GMIng this game in the mid-80s. One never forgets one's first love.

Guy,
I'm sorry to hear his passing away. Playing the Star Trek Combat Simulator and esp. your joint creation, the trek RPG, were some of the happiest years of my life in the early to...
I never thought of doing an RPG journal. All those RPG missions I played or GMed in the glorious 1980s are just a dim memory now. Looking back, I can only think of the hilarious moments my friends...
Why, yes, that's exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks!!!!!!
You know, that mini-poster that showed all their painted miniatures.
Thanks.
Ford was the influential Star Trek novelist who defined the Klingons (and many fans) for FASA's Star Trek RPG.
He died a couple of days ago:

I was just watching the TNG episode "Survivors" and Picard mentions some Andorians hiding in the "triangular system" that dismantled their ship to hide from a Starfleet Admiral.
The Triangle, as...
I beefed it up by adding a paragraph on Character creation and put the list of published documents at the end of the article.
Took me awhile to get a hang of the editing process. I don't know...
Stone Trek? What the hell is Stone Trek?
I'm a big Gurps fan and I'm surprised I haven't heard of Gurps Klingons. Went to sjgames.com and couldn't find a word about it, not even in playtest.
Would you happen to have a link?

Right. But conversely, I also remember _Mr. Scott's Guide to the Enterprise_ in the late eighties, a Paramount-approved book that matched the FASA dating.
The whole thing is or was hopelessly...
You got me there.
However, we can assume that either Capt. Decker can't count, or Khan Noonian Singh can't count.
My money is on Khan. :-)
Exactly. My preferences were for the 70s/early 80s method. Call me old-school.
Oh well. If you can't beat them, join them.
No, no longer an issue, but there was some supplanting. Which is ok, because as the owner, it is Paramount's right.
However, the Okuda's "air-tight defence" can never be that air-tight given the...
It doesn't matter. I'm just thinking outloud about the weaknesses of the current dating methodology employed by TNG-sponsored books.
This is a trek rpg site after all, and it is, or it used to be,...
For the last several years, I've been dismayed at the revised Star Trek Calendar as I'm just not used to it.
After years of playing and getting very attached to ones Star Trek characters, knowing...
Oops, I didn't mean to derail the Ground Forces thread when I when I poked fun at the "Avenger" comment.
The open invitation to bring forth the FASA ground Forces manual is still on, I hope.
