Jazzed. I don't know why, but I'm feeling sort of reinvigorated about ST and RPGs lately. I'm also hoping to have time this winter to run some games...

The Imperial Stormtroopers are much like Star Trek's Klingons in that respect -- good against Red Shirts (the first time we see them in the movies, they manage to get through a heavily contested...

Actually, according to the dialogue, it was a two or three hour journey...which explains why the Borg Cube was in such bad shape by the time they got there (Data noted the shields were near collapse...

This was basically the same ending as the original novel by Pierre Bouille (sic?), IIRC. Astronaut gets back to Earth, is greeted by apes. It didn't make a whole lot of sense then, either, and was...

Legally, I suppose it depends on whether or not civil rights are as strong in Starfleet as they are in the Federation at large. For example, IIRC, in the USA military personnel give up certain civil...

I have to second this. IMO, FASA did the best job of anyone I've seen so far in creating original ships that still had the same aesthetic style as the "official" ones.

I preferred their first...

I haven't had a chance to read the rules in depth yet, but they look pretty comprehensive (without being overly complicated, which is a bonus) to me.

If anything comes to mind after I give a full...

This week's Voyager episode also featured modified EMH-1s as miners on Coridan (sic?).



Just got a copy from Doug Burke, (thanks, Doug!) and it's great. Are you looking for anything else...

I'd appreciate one as well if it's not too much trouble! http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif

Some nifty spy gadgets that MacKenzie Calhoun received in the New Frontier book "Once Bitten" (also part of the Double Helix series) included a one-use short range transporter (moved you a few meters...

How about something along the lines of Operation PAPERCLIP (if I'm recalling the name correctly)? This was the operation that brought German scientists and inventions to America during and after the...

D'Oh! Somehow, I forgot to mention the books I've just finished reading.

A Stitch in Time (DS9) by Andrew Robinson (the actor who played Garak on DS9) was a great book, if you're interested in...

More recommendations:

Q-Squared (TNG) by Peter David was a fun read. Tied quite a bit of Trek history together in an interesting way. Also an interesting look at alternate version of the...

I don't know if it's the typical Hollywood style, but it does look like the kind of detail they put into their casting calls for TNG. Not, that this proves anything one way or the other,...

Given all of the different ways people react to war, and all of the different interactions they might have had, I think that you'd have to decide the effects, good and bad, on an individual basis.

I think if he'd been part of a different organization he'd have a different uniform.

It is interesting to note that the C-in-C, Admiral Cartwright, and Col. West (IIRC) all had salad bars on their...

There was a sci-fi novel trilogy that featured Paratwas, genetically-engineered twins that shared one mind. Between their physical enhancements and the fact that they had perfect coordination with...

Yes, it is, isn't it? http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif



Well, as a fellow newbie, let me say welcome aboard! Come back soon!

Let's see, AGT took place in 2370, IIRC. I think the alternate future was 25 years ahead of that, which would put it at 2395.

Just as a point of clarification, I am an agnostic atheist (agnostic being classically defined as the view that theistic beliefs -- whatever they may be -- are a matter of metaphysical belief and not...

I think sometimes reviewers don't think to separate out taste from quality. For example, there are game systems that I wouldn't choose to play with becuas they don't mesh well with my style, but...

Hey, I didn't say that Starfleet would like it. http://www.trekrpg.net/Board/ubb/smile.gif



FWIW, there are numerous historical precedents for "citizen-soldiers", people who were not part of...

I don't know about more blood being spilled, but religious causes have spurred a lot of violence...as have many other causes, such as politics, nationality, lebensraum, favorite sports teams, etc.

Another odd thought...

Assuming that the populace of Betazed is by and large pacifist, though not necessarilly passive (either of these assumptions are certainly open to argument), what if they...
