I've just read Don's article about the forthcoming game.
Okay, firstly I have to say that I trust the former LUGers with the Star Trek RPG than I do Paramount with the next series.
It all sounds pretty good and well though out. Maybe the loss of points in character generation is a simplifying thing, but it sounds as though there will be less flexibility.
As for classes, the comparison seems irrelevant to me. If a character's abilities are based on the skills they aquire and not on based purely on their profession, then I'll be happy. If there is a diverse selection of packages, aloowing a good deal of variety in character creation, that's all I ask.
Format: two core books and invidual series books. Sounds good but expebsive. Though I'll probably buy 'em all.
As for the supplements: Klingons at last! While the LUG books were good, some of it was dull. The species treatments could definately do with a little paring down. So I'm all for it.
And "Engage". Not a moment too soon.
Greg, who's appetite is thouroughly whetted.
