    Gorn Ship Recognition manual?

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

    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.

    Ford was the influential Star Trek novelist who defined the Klingons (and many fans) for FASA's Star Trek RPG.
