  1. I wrote this...

    I wrote this last year about how to run play-by-post campaigns and it has been generally well-received.

    As for co-GMing...it works if you have two things. First, one GM who is in charge. ...

    Interestingly, Star Trek Online is incorporating the part of Trek XI in the Prime Universe, i.e. Romulus is destroyed and Spock disappears, but that's it as the rest of Trek XI is an alternate...

    I got CC3 earlier this year and have been using it for my fantasy campaigns, I would also love to see what you have done with it for Trek.

    Honestly, this was the first forum I ever joined so it always has a special place in my heart. I mostly lurk here and use it as a resource and my activity is always based on whether I am running...

    RPGs aren't that profitable. They are a niche market and CBS would be foolish to invest in developing a RPG line. If they want a RPG they license it out to an existing company, but I suspect that...

    Having used both systems I have to say that LUG's ICON is the way to go, CODA was heavily inspired by d20 and suffered because of it - it's a little clunky and actually kind of awkward in operation. ...

    News. In contemporary news there is an infinite source of inspiration for campaign ideas. Just change some things around and you are good to go. It really works for anything. History is just old...

    I really don't see where JJ took from BSG for Trek XI.

    A lot of the camera and other tricks for BSG were actually in Firefly, which came out the year before. However, stylistically these sort...

    You know if they brought in Shah Ruhk Kahn to play a villain and added in a Bollywood dance number or two I would be the first in line on opening day for Star Trek XII. :)

    Seriously, either SRK...

    Perhaps, but that type of story doesn't really fit the new franchise, which is completely movie and action based. The next movie has to do three things: 1) move forward a little in time, 2) be as...

    The more I think about, I think the sequel will be very different. The first movie, Abrams had to make at least a token effort to be within continuity, but the sequel will be Abrams chance to do the...

    My instinct is that they won't use Kahn, but that they will use Klingons and a second enemy that is completely new. You don't need a recognizable Klingon, all you need is a Klingon leader who can...

    Exactly - and then you take a few weeks break from the campaign and come up four new story arcs for the next season! :)

    The Klingons are as hurt as the Federation as Nero destroyed 47 of their ships, which is a lot more than we have reason to believe Starfleet lost. As for the Romulans, the destruction of Vulcan is a...

    I think that would be too similar to XI, a big ship that can destroy planets - they probably need to do something different for the sequel or be accused of being in a rut. I also think they aren't...

    I tend to agree that the 'new' Federation will be more aggressive and less level-headed now that Vulcan is gone. However, they have Spock with his memory to provide them with tons of new technology....

    Okay I am going to show how I am doing things in my current campaign set in 2377 as it is pretty typical to how I do things, for better or worse. This is a duet campaign so it is a little more...

    Saw the movie a second time with wife and approached it with an open mind and halfway enjoyed it, but the 'abridged' version is so true. When we left the theater my wife shook her head and said,...

    You do realize they did pander to some fans just not all of them. :D The movie was formulaic and was intended to pander to certain groups, almost all movies do that to be fair, like Twilight for...

    Considering that the new team running Star Trek don't really care about the fans who were unhappy with the movie I don't see why they would try to make it more like Star Trek with the sequel. The...

    LOL!

    See killing Nero was a mercy killing at the end of the movie - the poor miner wouldn't have been able to handle the eventual temporal paradoxes he would have surely encountered. Most...
