Must have more LUG books

[stule]

Ok,

I am really leaning towards running a LUG game. I like the Starship Combat and the Hand to Hand works well too. I have a few books but I am wanting to know if I need any others?

I have the following books.....

TNG Core Game Book
TNG Players' Guide
DS9 Core Game Book
TOS Core Game Book
TNG PLanets of the Federation
TNG The First Line

Are there any other books I need to get?

And if so, where can I get em?

Talk to Sarge, see what, if anything, he has left. You've got a fairly good collection, I'd recommend finding a GM screen however.

[Evan van Eyk]

I strongly suggest to search for a copy of "The Price of Freedom", gives you more starships and an indepth description of the UFP.

Schweet!

Will do!

Thanks!

Another little gem you might seek is Raiders, Rogues and Renegades
a DS9 Rulebook dealing with the seedier Life in the Federation, like Pirates, Smugglers, Mercenaries.

the Next Gen and TOS guides that come with their respective ref screens are excellent, I think S John Ross wrote parts at least of the TOS. The DS9 ref's screen and books in general are rarer and run around 15-20$ US+ on Ebay. They're good if you are doing a DS9 series.

Also player's handbook black, and white stripes is gold for running enlisted or high level pcs. and some tactics notes in the back, along with nice rules for more options for character generation. They are selling those at my local game store for about 8 dollars. ditto for core TOS white book.

All of these can usually be had on ebay for real cheap if you look for a week or two. People dumped a lot of 'em when decipher version came out. People are dumping decipher now, too, since Enterprise shot themselves in the foot, and died.

Really to run a game, all you really need is ONE core book, period.

But no LUG book is a waste of money, all are good quality and either give rules, or flavor or add a lot to any game session you'll run. I wish 3rd ed books were as usefull.

If you have specific books you are looking for, I can quote you local area prices. I might just do that anyway, for the benefit of the se forums, next time I go to the store, in about a week.

But really piles of the stuff are on ebay week to week, going relatively cheap. Search "LUG" and "Trek" in roleplay.

If you can bit torrent go to URL removed by Moderator and type in Star Trek Game

someone has seeded all the books including some that were finished but never printed, there pdf files and its about 3 gigs but it's about the only way to get the way of the d'era with out spending over 150.00.

hope that helps

The TOS Narrator's Toolkit was 100% S. John, who is still awfully darn proud of it

The TNG one is 100% Kenneth, although the choice of episodes to adapt to the sample adventure was thrust upon him by decree (given his druthers, he'd have done an original adventure or, at the very least, adapted one that could involve the whole party more equally).

The DS9 one is a hybrid ... It's by Steve Long, but It includes a mix of Steve Long resource material with a kind of Reader's Digest version of some of Kenneth's stuff from the TNG NTK.

[LUGTrekGM]

Oh yeah, and the Among the Clans book, also. S John Ross wrote that, good stuff.

Steve Long, too One of the reasons AtC pulled together so neatly, IMO, is that they let me write the all the S. John-ish stuff (like clans and quirky history and naked mimes) and Steve Long write the Steve Long-ish stuff (like starships and templates and combat thingies). I was the primary on that one, but without Steve Long it would have been a far weaker book (I'm utterly lame at the crunchy stuff).

Sjohn: Nice to see that you're still around here

BTW Who did the Romulan box back then?

Ah, right.

I was summoned. It's very eerie around here ... so many dusty old threads. Fulla ghosts. But it's fun seeing it all again, so I'll stick around for a bit.

I - personaly- like it very much when long time members (or even writers in your case) come back and pay us a visit. It was something that made this place into this interesting community it still is.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, stay as long as you want to

Anyway, do you have still contact with other co-workers from the ICON Trek game days, like say Dave Biggins?
