I particularly enjoyed the FASA scenario - less so the mechanics of the game. Ended up running "Decision at Midnight" adapted for CODA last year....it was very enjoyable. Even went out and...
Well....getting to Alpha Centauri in less than a month still sounds pretty fast to me. I just build it into the story: "It's going to take six months to get to Orion, so let me know what sorts of...
This is absolutely the truth -- and the idea of a 'neutral zone' being an enforceable zone stretching from the 'top' of the galaxy to the 'bottom', the violation of which would result in a bunch of...

Nice 3-D maps of actual star locations. A lot of Trek star systems (61 Cygni, 40 Eridani, Rigel, etc.) are real, and you can plot their locations, backfilling...
What are you referring to by "boomers"? I don't get the reference...
I check in every once in a while - was playing a PBEM Coda Trek game for most of the year, but it is on hold for now....
Hmmm....how do you mean, Trek-like starship combat? Is it more/less realistic?
Don't really care about the scenario presented in Prime Directive (I can write my own - heck, I'm already watching typical ST canon disappear slowly in my rear view mirror,) but does D20 Modern work...
At one point, yes, but I guess I've gotten to the age where I value consistency over neat-sounding mathematical obfuscation!
I've been using this method for a while...but I'm going to drop it in favor of a more mundane "2279.05.19" kind of system because, frankly, I just don't have the time or inclination to do math on the...
Yeah, but it won't do you much good if they completely pull the plug on the site at the end of the year...

On the other hand, if they just stop supporting it,...
Was anyone else using Google Wave for PBEM? I've been on a PBEM campaign for the last year on it, and it has worked tremendously well. Unfortunately, Google will stop supporting wave at the end of...
Quite!
The "Captain Garth's War" article that ended up in one of the earlier "Beyond the Final Frontier" issues was written by me as part of my initial setup for using Decision at Midnight in the...
First: These are really great - thanks to everyone for posting them!
Just an observation about the long range TMP shuttle plans though, particularly the "VIP shuttle"....if it's intended to be a...
This is a good adventure, and I agree -- IMHO, whatever its flaws, the FASA universe was far more interesting than, well, anything that was done on screen/TV from 1986 onward.
I'm in the middle...

I stole a page from FASA: the Organians simply up and disappeared a few years later, and no more external enforcement of the treaty took place.
They only got involved in the first place because...
Hey, those are interesting. I might try to use them in a campaign I'm working on right now.
The only one I'd modify is the "regardless of the present distance of the target" for Share Mind. ...
EDIT: SORRY, these are for Coda Star Trek -- that's what I get for not reading too closely..... JKP
Here are some variant Human colonists I created for a current campaign, feel free to...
Just got a Wave account a few days ago, and I have to agree - this looks like a promising platform for PBEM (PBGW?) RPGs.
Must be nice to have a FTF group. Can barely muster up two people for an online game.
Agree -- especially when you consider how ridiculous it is to draw a border across hundreds of cubic light-years of empty space.
When I was running a campaign, I drew up a map (as reasonably to...
About 10 years ago, Interplay was supposed to come out with a fantastic-looking Star Trek game for the PC called "Secret of Vulcan Fury". Here are some of the teasers:
...
Completely agree -- FASA's scenarios are very nicely drawn. When I was running a STRPG campaign (which has been a couple of years now, unfortunately,) it was set in the year 2300, and the in-game...
