The new Game (FEDERATION COMMANDER) comes with laminated (reusuable) SSD's in color. It seems they are trying to keep this game one of fighting action as opposed to legal action.
    Are you kidding? I LOVE to fill out power allocations. You new-school roleplayers don't know what you're missing.

    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...

    New school? Are you kidding? THe bulk of my RPG products re older than the bulk of the RPG companies out there these days. I've been doing cartwheels over RuneQuest being brought back.


    Since when is SFB is roleplaying game ? Oh yeah, since the printed Starfleet Marin--opps, I mean Prime Directive.

    I played SFB back before the Kaufman Retorgrade made all other tactics practically obsolete.
