    Post CODA Trek Books for Sale

    Hey Gang!

    I'm getting into spring cleaning mode and it's time for me to clear out some of my gaming collection. I figured I'd give you folks first crack at my CODA Trek books, as I know they'll find a good home. The Player's Guide and Narrator's Guide have a little bit of wear on the edges, but are otherwise in great shape. All the other books are like brand spanking new. Up for sale dirt cheap are:

    Player's Guide -- SOLD!
    Narrator's Guide -- SOLD!
    Operations Manual -- SOLD!
    Starships -- SOLD!
    Aliens
    -- SOLD!

    Wow, the books went fast!

    LQ

    P.S. I apologize to the moderators if this is in the wrong forum!

    Oh my, why are you going out of Trek RPG, LQ? You did so great stuff with it. Please reconsider your offer!!!
    And if you do sell your stuff, will you stop coming here? That would be bad, as we would lose yet another old time member...

    I'd be interested in aquring a surplus copy of Starships, but the shipping costs to Europe would make that too expansive, I'm afraid.

    Dammit... $30? that's horribly tempting. And I could theoretically arrange someone to just pick them up for me instead of shipping : P

    Well, basically, CODA Trek is dead and gone in my eyes. I probably won't ever run the game again. If I do a Trek campaign in the near future, it'll probably be ICON. And it's time for me to thin out my gaming collection, which has become rather bloated and unwieldy for storage! Besides, when the Trek license eventually gets yanked from Decipher (or expires) and sold to another company, there will be a new edition of the game anyway.

    I've written enough stuff for CODA to be satisfied as a fan. I hope BTFF sees the light of day in the future so you guys can get a look at more of the stuff I've done. Oh, and I won't be leaving the boards. As long as this place exists I'll keep comin' around!

    Cheers,

    LQ

    At least you'll stay.
    I kinda admire people who can part with their stuff, an ability that I have never developed.
    Even if I'd never came to run another Trek game, I'd never give away my books (neither have I givenm away my ICON stuff) I too many memorries attached to them.
    Are there other games you're giving out?

    Don't take this the wrong way, Queeg; I'm not trying to talk you out of this (though I think you shouldn't sell the stuff, but that's just me). There's something about this sentence, though, that makes no sense to me. How is ICON any less dead and gone than CODA?

    I know, sounds like a load of poop. Bear with me here, though ...

    I have at least three to four times the money invested in ICON as I do CODA (from a quick glance at the book shelf); I have at least twice as much written material to use for ICON as I do CODA (meaning my own stuff, plus all the the LUG adventures I have yet to use on top of that); and I've really come to prefer the way ICON worked as a whole over CODA -- this is entirely subjective, of course, but the system has a much less "Star Trek series potato masher" feel to me than CODA; perhaps that's because ICON had era-based core books... I'm not sure. Although CODA is much a much more streamlined and flashy system, it doesn't "do it" for me like ICON did (and still does). I did switch over to CODA, but I've decided I'd like my Trek (if I run it again soon) the way it was with ICON.

    Obviously ICON is dead. So is CODA, though I admire your efforts to keep the CODA ship on-line, Patrick! For me, though, ICON has more life left in it than CODA at my gaming table.

    Anyway, I hope that resembles some form of clarification!

    Cheers,

    LQ

    Don't argue with cheap books, man ¬___¬

    What other material do you got written?

    Pretty much verbatim what my (and the gang's) feelings were on the matter, LQ; we gave Coda its three-session trial run, and the broad consensus was, "It just doesn't feel like Star Trek." Perhaps it was the d20 aspects that turned us off - the whole "Elite Professions" thing struck a bad chord with us, along with the "Advancements" concept and the sheer horror of the Mayan Codex that made up the Character Creation section (an "unholy mess", Patrick called it in his first review). We gratefully went home to Icon and haven't looked back since.
