Q-torps are rare. I read somewhere, but I can't remember where- that between DS9 and the Defiant, they used up HALF of all the q-torps expended by all of Starfleet! Granted the DS9 crew used lots,...
I'm here and interested. Not doing new stuff now because the main game I'm running is Star Wars right now, but I'll be back to Star Trek in due course.
Yes, exactly. Sorry, I should have communicated that more clearly. I look foreward to hearing how the playtest goes.
Ok, in our game I addressed the size versus maneuverability by making the base target number for starship dodges equal to the size of the dodging starship, modeling that the defiant can not only...
It was a big help for creating more complex and interesting Cardassian NPCs for my Star Trek Dominion war era campaign. The players had rivals, enemies, contacts... they grew to know what to expect...
My Star Trek games tended to have a lot of players, so I allowed multiple crewmen on tactical systems. I wanted to have as many players contributing directly to the combat as possible. I did impose...
My players had to deal with another minor stellar power in Dominion War politics. The Groat Alliance had as a complex history, some of it involving time travel, which is too much to get into here. ...
That would certainly be a good addition to Memory ICON, but tracking down the author for permission might be tricky at this point.
In my Dominion War campaign the minor galactic powers allowed for a LOT pf PC diplomacy. For example, on the Gorn/Federation border, the Federation was very interested in moving ships, static...
I have also done a long Pulp campaign using the ICON ruleset. I had to do only the tiniest of changes to make it more pulpy. First, I slightly adjusted the skill list. Almost all of that was...
I forgot that I eventually had a cloaking device on board, turns out only for one adventure. One of the players wanted to play a Romulan, and since it was the height of the Dominion war with the...
The players in my campaign certainly found that to be the case as well. They had a Defiant-class ship (no cloaking device), and definetly had to improvise and use ingenuety and be chary of risk to...
The specialty you are looking for would be Space Sciences: Astrophysics.
So, while watching the series finale I naturally was looking for data to confirm or refute my little theory. Unfortunately, while I don't think of it as quite yet refuted, I have to admit the theory...
Thanks, all! Upon further reflection I want to hege my bets. But on one aspect, let me go further out on a limb: I'm confident that not only are the Sphere Builders the Borg, but I believe the...
This site is where I go to in order to see discussion on Star Trek stuff, and I'm suprised the latest Enterprise episode hasn't formulated a lot of discussion on the identities of both the sphere...
Hi Owen,
Yesterday I was able to reach your Memory ICON site from a different computer, so I thought it was up. Today at home I discover I can't reach it. Can most people now in fact reach your...
Apparently you did save the index file. Thanks for saving these templates! Your index file is here:

Hi Owen - not only can I also not reach your site, but your banner graphic doesn't seem to be showing up here on the board (as of 2:37pm Thursday Jan 29). I hope everything is OK!
I've voted ICON, love ICON so much I use it not only for Star Trek but also Doctor Who and 1930's Pulp adventure games I run - BUT I found I like CODA better for Lord Of The Rings (as a player). I'm...
This is great! Now there is one place to go for ALL the superb netbooks for the ICOn system out there. It all of a sudden got a LOT easier for me to tell my players where to go!
Er, that's not...
I was delighted to see a new sourcebook up there, Owen. And thanks to R.E.B. Tongue too!
Come to think of it, I'd make that "Energy absorbtion" advantage be the number of power points that the Wiirn could absorb per TURN, not per attack. That way attackers with energy weapons could...
The adult feeds on energy. It can sit in a solar reactor, I don't think a hand-held laser is going to be much more than a light snack. But the larvae clearly were effected by energy, but not as...
