    Cool

    TOS era.

    Back when redshirts wore red shirts.

    Back when you didn't negotiate with bad guys, you Kirk-chopped 'em.

    Back when drinking tea on the bridge would get you beaten up.

    Back when Klingons could wear turtleneck sweaters and *still* be tough.

    Back when the Romulans still painted birds on the bottom of their ships. (Very cool in a flames-on-the-gas-tank way...)

    Back when crew-women wore miniskirts. (even in zero gravity?)

    And, most importantly-

    Back when there was still a real sense of hope and idealism.

    Please may I play too!
    After one session that seemed to have a mind of its own, I put on the song Star Trekkin' to mellow things out. "We come in peace... Shoot to kill, Shoot to kill". Can you imagine the NG version of this.

    My campaign is a MP one, 2291.

    I haven't ran a game yet. Heck, I haven't even bought any of the books yet, but I'll probably run a traditional TNG game at first and maybe work in elements of DS9 and even TOS as I get the chance.
    I agree with Cessna about TOS though. The only thing I didn't really like about the old show was not getting to see Scotty play the hero as much as he would if the show was written when TNG was, but that was tv back then.

    My ongoing game started at the Starfleet Academy with first year cadets in the fall of 2362, they graduated in 2366 and shipped out in time to miss the first Borg attack on Earth and the Battle of Wolf 359. I ran the characters each in one "solo-adventure" where the other players played NPCs, the solo adventure being the thrust of their "Tour package", then I brought them all back to Sector 001 for the First Contact battle against the Borg; not all on the same ship. Now they are the "senior staff" of a Saber Class light cruiser and it is the very end of 2373. They are shipping out to escort a construction team and colonist convoy to an area of space just past the Federation border that is nestled between the Romulan Star Empire and the Breen, the war will be going full swing against the Dominion as they fly to their destination (almost a year of game time to reach it) and they will feel the pinch of wanting to go and fight and not getting much support for their mission while the war wages further and further behind them. So they'll be setting up colonies, building a space station, exploring a barely charted sector while balancing survival against the surprise of the Breen joining up with the Dominion and the Romulans suddenly being thier technical "allies". They should near completion of thier space station about the time the War ends, meaning I can resume unpleasantness with the Romulans just in time. Where we go from there, who knows, but I'm excited. =)

    My series is set on the Romulan Neutral Zone during the first year of the Dominion War... so it is ship-based like TNG, has history from DS9... and a heavy dose of paranoia from my own mind.

    No, I can't imagine an NG version of that. That's why I ignore TNG completely in my campaign.

    And if you're ever in Denver, Kaiddin, drop by for a session of Kirk-choppin' fun...!

    Hell, yeah! Scotty was (is?) awesome! He was the only reason that the Enterprise kept flying after Kirk's abuse.

    My name is Scott. You can understand how much of an impact Scotty had on me when I was seven. The greatest character on TV had the same name as I did. (Coooooool.)

    Unfortunately, I'm too close-minded to play in TOS era, yet I think it'd be wonderful; no doubt I'll make an incursion like "Trials and Tribble-ations".

    This weekend I beguin a new campaign of TNG/DS9 and VOY if the d*mn e-book ever goes out. And no, my campaign doesn't go from alpha and gamma to delta quadrant. It is an extensive exploration campaign in the gamma quadrant, which is quite similar to the VOY campaign, only you can always play sometimes in the alpha, too.

    After the Dominion war -I just need to always play the present; the past is just that, "past"-, there's much concern between the UFP citizens for the little warlike way the new ships of Starfleet have become. Under this pressure, Starfleet Command chooses to put those ship to the frontiers, as much far away as dangerous is the ship. Of course, my crew will have the more dangerous one, and will have the mission of patrol the furthest frontier.

    The USS Prometheus, charting the gamma quadrant.

    New upcoming alien empires, the most strangest races of all (but no gravity-defiying hairdros, please), and the occasional renegade Jem' Hadar fleet. Now try to defend the Federation ideals of peace and collaboration in such an inhospitable place. And feel far and alone like Voyager's crew. And with a neurotic EMH II capable of appear ANYWHERE on the ship. And the Romulans craving to steal it everytime you're not looking...

    Aint' it the sweetest campaign?

    I play in the DS9 3rd season, close to the fourth. My players will end up charging to the rescue of DS9, but get ambushed along the way.

    WOW...thank you for everyone who responded! I find it very interesting to see what other people do in their games and love hearing about campaigns and the like. I'd post what's going on in my game, but we're 33 Chapters into it (each gaming session is a chapter). Thanks again and hope to stir up more topics one day soon!

    Cessna, it was probably my interest in characters like Scotty that inspired me to become a technician in real life. My favorite characters have always been the smart technologically capable types, whether it be Scotty, MacGuyver, or even the Professor from Gilligan's Island.

    My current campaign is the Galaxy Class USS Venture, which is set 2 years after the close of DS9 and concurrent with Voyagers final season (Thats UK broadcast timetable...)

    However my tabletop campaign for the Intrepid Class USS Journeyman is likely to be re-started and will take place during DS9 and travel forward from there...
