AslanC hinted that someone should start a topic with spoilers for Minority Report.

So here's one.

First up, I thought the film was...OK. It looked great (but then, it's supposed to when they...

I'm playing with the starship construction rules, and I'm not sure if I'm missing something or what, but it seems to me that the low size cost of shuttlebays makes it possible to design absurdly...

That's exactly what I don't like about it. It's TOO much of an intentional parallel to real world events of the time, and that makes it really, really dated.

I know, all the Trek series have done...

I just noticed that some of the links on my fan fiction page (particularly the link to the very story I mentioned above) didn't work.

They have been fixed, and all the stories on the site,...

What the heck, I figured I'd post this here...

I just finished an original, movie-length (well, almost - it may be just a bit short) Star Trek screenplay. I did it more for practice than anything...

Hey, Styro, thanks!

I think if I were in charge, I'd hire C5 as my Continuity Czar - I couldn't agree more with his point about nailing down a coherent timeline, map, etc. That's so important....

Oh, I agree...but I took their storyline, I wasn't trying to do something completely different, just...better than what was shown.

The problem is that, given the preceeding episodes, bringing...

Thanks for the kind words.

But Phantom Menace? I'm just an amateur writer, not a miracle worker!

For both an alternate solution to the translator issue, and also one way to handle a variety of non-humanoid aliens as Starfleet crew, you might want to check out the Original Series novels by Diane...

I didn't like it either, and it actually inspired me enough to write this...

http://mywebpages.comcast.net/starkllr/home.html

I took the basic premise of the episode as aired, and did something...

I've never run anything like this, but I did have a similar story idea (actually, it was for a Doctor Who story originally, but it would adapt just as well for a Trek game).

It begins as your idea...

And those Narrator's Handbooks were possibly the best things you guys published for the Trek RPG, too. Most especially the TOS one - that was absolutely fantastic, and it's found a lot of use in...

Ross,

I just want to throw my two cents in. First, I can completely understand your frustatrion, and it's really unfair for you to get badgered by all of us - because I think we all know that if...

I read it. It will be better than Insurrection, but anything more than that depends on how much has been rewritten, and what the director manages to do with it.

There are a LOT of problems with...

Yet another DC area gamer checking in...Northern VA, a few blocks from Courthouse to be exact.

I'd also be interested in getting involved in a Trek RPG game, and I might know a couple of others...

For a non-Trek SF game I ran, set in the early 23rd century just at the advent of interstellar travel, I came up with names for that world's Terran Spacefleet. It's obviously completely...

Maybe they can't fight as well or be as noble, but as front-line shock troops (read: cannon fodder) in the Romulan ground forces, they could certainly die just as well as full-blooded Romulans in...

Series Title: Nexus One
Setting: Space Station
Era: Late TNG/DS9 Season One

As part of their withdrawl from Bajor, and just a few months prior to the discovery of the Wormhole, the Cardassian...

Well, TNG did it with Captain Jellicoe; he was certainly a martinet, but on the other hand, he did get results.

You could have the new CO be very decorated and respected, so that the PCs would...

Just a thought here...another idea for a first episode.

Take your initial premise, a withdrawl of Romulan warships from regular patrol zones.

At the same time, several high-profile Starfleet...

Hey, you want morbid, how's this for a scenario...

Instead of thrillseekers discovering a doomed atomic-age world, how about a Ferengi ship?

So the PCs in their starship happen upon this doomed...

To reply to a couple of posts here...

One way these "touristS" could have really powerful shields is simply that they can channel ALL their power into them. With no weapons or tractor beams or...

Just wanted to chime in that I love the idea of the Andorians starting out as an adversary.

And - how could they be a founding member of the Federation if they're an adversary to Earth in...

I came up with this idea for my fan ficiton "Alrernate Voyager" project; but it's something that I figured somebody might find useful or amusing in their campaign, so here it is...

My concept is a...

Following on with other comments on here, involving Section 31 (or just Starfleet Intelligence), you can have S31/SI/A Politically Connected Admiral pull strings to bail your PCs out...and now they...
