Do we even need Decipher anymore?

[AslanC]

So I figure I should post something on topic so I can justify my earlier hero worships

Do we need Decipher? Never did before why should I start now?

Can we make our own stuff? Of course we can, and we do on a regular basis. The legality of it is the question.

Can we buy the license? Not me brother, that is way out of my price range. Why would we want to? Trek was always at its' best when the fans were amking stuff and not caring for what Paramount/Viaccom thought. Sure they can sue the pants off you, but that is the risk you take

Either way, I love CODA, it is everything I ever wanted from a Star Trek game. (Though ICON was pretty good too). I will keep playing it and not worry about what Decipher is doing, cause with the core books I am set for decades

*thumbs up to AslanC*

I was wondering, do you guys and gals think Decipher is holding an annocemnt till GenCon on the future of their RPG line? I've also heard a rumor on the rpg.net messageboards about LOTR moving to a company called Green Ronin. Can anyone confirm or validate this claim?

Green Ronin? They got too much on their plate right now.

That would be a good time to make an announcement, if they make one at all.

That's just speculation at this point. Green Ronin has an arrangement with Games Workshop's new RPG imprint, Black Industries, to create the new Warhammer RPG. Since Green Ronin's press release mentioned they'd be working on ''other major licenses" as well, and since Games Workshop already has a LOTR license in place (due to their miniatures game) the speculation is that they'd do a LOTR game based on the same ruleset as the new Warhammer.

Just internet speculation at this point, though. Maybe we'll hear something at Origins or GenCon.

Fine, guys. Whatever.

I came here to enjoy discussion on Star Trek and RPGs, and not deal with a group of assholes. I'll be leaving, as there's obviously little reason to continue trying to be here.

And, don't worry, anyone else that asks about Trek RPGs, I'll be sure to let them know that newcomers aren't welcome and should expect to be treated like total crap and shit on at every early opportunity.

Can we bannify the craptacular one now?

Surprised he's not yet, after that little tantrum/flameout.

What's he gonna do, badmouth a Star Trek forum on all the Transformers sites he belongs to? PFFT!

Back on topic:

You know, It seems to me as though the RPG industry is going through the same sort of really nasty slump that comics went through a few years ago. I don't know if its oversaturation of the market, a sag in interest due to new technologies (better computer games, and the #$%@ing card games -- sorry, I just hate card games), or just the fact that the main demographic group is getting older and has less time to stay up all night gaming.

I'm just rambling. It's just a depressing thought, to imagine that the entire gaming world is on a downhill slide and I can't see the bottom.

Oh, just ignore me. I need a drink, or something.

Who's got some happy pills?

Oy, I had thought to come back to apologize for just losing it on the boards. There's no call for that, and no one wants to see that, and I should have been less childish, certainly. I will apologize for my behaviour.

But, man, some of the later posts... Oh well.

Again, apologies to most of those I upset.

[D.S.McBride]

Graciously accepted. I think you'll find that you'll find we're a pretty forgiving bunch here; few of us have gone without treading on a few toes and/or having our own trodden upon. Part of human nature.

Just let it go.

Again, apologies accepted. But if you start praising Brannon Braga as being better than Peter Jackson and George Lucas individually or collectively, I'll have a fit. LOL!

Isn't Braga already gone? I thought I had read something to the effect he's going to other projects?

As for Berman being better than Jackon? Can anyone really make such a comparison? Lucas could be argued in recent years, perhaps, but Berman's never made his 'A New Hope' yet, either.
