Heh heh. Cute.

I wouldn't exactly call 'em "experts," though.

Almost a sarcastic response there Don!

'...The Borg have stopped at deck 10...'
'...Deflector Control, no vital systems...'

Not a vital system! What the heck do you think stops the ship going 'poof' every time it goes to warp?

That was a little jab at our own Doug Burke, who is currently filling the role of Decipher NetRep for the Star Trek RPG.

Doug! You're an expert, buddy!

Yeah, that's what they tell me.

Any time it starts to go to my head, though, I remember the old saying about a has-been drip under pressure...

Kirk: "That's what you get for missing staff meetings, Doctor."

As long as we're on the subject of Decipher Trek, What sorts of miniatures can we expect--does anyone know what happened to LUG's fig molds?

Any word yet on how they plan on proceeding as far as the core rules books(i.e. one main and era supplements; or all as separate sourcebooks?)

The powers that be should feel free to chastise us if things are going too much like when they were bombarded with questions about when Spacedock would be available, etc.

[Don Mappin]

When Decipher is ready to release details, or those of us in the know are given leave to discuss such issues, you’ll be bombarded with said details.

Until then, I’m afraid we’re not at liberty to discuss.

Yes, I live for moments like these. Oooh – I’m alive with pleasure. :P

What I’m saying, rather plainly, is that it’s okay to ask questions (“feel free to chastise us”), just don’t expect a whole lot of answers yet.

I have lots of good information written up and ready to post as soon as I’m given leave to do so.

Just out of curiosit -- are "Voyager" and "Dominion War Sourcebook" still on, or have they been shelved? (Still interest there, I bet...) ~J

[Don Mappin]

Hey, good news -- I received approval to put that article up. So, probably sometime today, you will be in the know, calguard66.

(I am reminded of the line from the X-Files, from Scully: "I do it all for you, Mulder!")

(12:43pm) Speaking of which, the article is now online. In the Priority One section. http://www.trekrpg.net
