I've read studies claiming that black text on a yellow background makes for easies "readability".

A green and brown background with soft yellow plates for black message text would be good. No...

I just came here to check out this board. I've been hanging around on the Star Trek sections mostly. And I abolutly HATE the garish colors around here! They hurt my eyes! Is there any way to change...

I've got a question: What does "estute" mean?

*looking it up in an online dictionary*

Aha, now I get it! It was just misspellt. You meant to type "astute" didn't you?

Man, I've got to see...

Take a look at the Entertainer on page 238 in the Narrators Guide. It might help you out a bit. You don't have to conform to the given professions you know. You can create a new one and mix and match...

Because they want to be truly heroic and be able to beat anything! I have a munchkin in my D&D group too, but I feel that if he wants to cheat then let him! We're just playing for fun after all, and...

Well what do you think about this character then? :rolleyes:
In what age was he born do you think?
I'm betting he's older than any balrog...

In the LotR RPG there is a skill called Insight. I've noticed that there is no such skill in the Star Trek RPG.

In the LotR RPG a Persuade test is opposed by an Insight test, but in the Star Trek...

Isn't there a Star Trek game called New Worlds that features ground battles? Anyone played it? Perhaps I'll see if I can find it in stores, it's gettin gold now in the fast moving computer industry....

I've created an Orion character as well...

Name: Danan
Profession: Starfleet Officer
Elite Profession: Starship Engineer
Rank: Ensign
Experience Points: 0
Advancements: none

But a system that does not use professions/orders might be more true to real life! It's not easiy to classify a real person although a fictonal one might be fitted perfectly into these frames. I've...

The only thing that professions/orders do is to put a leash on you! It limits what your character can become. It limits your options greatly, and with the following rules you could create any...

I havean idea about a new species that are very small. Looking at the rules for ranged combat I've noticed that there is a +6 TN modifier to hit targets of 1/2 the size of a human. How much would...

Why would there be a problem with this?

As long as everyone starts at the same level I think it'll work out fine...

You are correct in that Elite profession have no Favored Attributes as Basic Profession do, but this is a Starship Officer Elite Profession, so this is a special case...
Look at the...

I don't really care that much what is more important in RL, Strength of Agility! It's clear that the ability to hit or avoid being hit is your primary concearn in this GAME!

Even in hand to hand...

You have an interesting point of veiw there qerlin.

I agree with you that Strength is important for all of those atletic tasks (and the Athletic Skill actually is a Strength skill), but Agility...

Still... Agility is more important in combat situations

I like your idea here... This kind of character can easily be chreated using the existing elite professions, but having one that is more specialized could never hurt.

Interesting professional...

I'd love to have an excel-sheet with the math done posted here! What kind of equation do you use to calculate ability mods and reaction scores?

First off, I don't understand this thing about some games treating katanas as more powerful than other swords somply because they're oriental. What game does this? I realize my experience is limited...

In the "Miniatues... some ideas"-thread you posted this:

I'm slightly offended by your comment to my post Calcoran...
You only commented on the nonessential stuff.

As DavidSnyder pointed out, Spock is listed as a Diplomat, but we all know that he...
