Are there any online games?

[Jakeo]

I joined the avioc site. I posted there about the game, but so far no one' responded.

[Tomcat]

Sorry that you have gotten no response but the person you asked about his game has not logged into my site since May 2009... not thinking he is coming back.

As far as other games go - you are welcome to start a game and run it. I am currently GM'ing four games, although one, my Star Trek game, is on a bit of hiatus while we have fun with Star Wars and Lord of the Rings. I will be starting that game up again in about a month, but until then I am maxed out.

You are welcome to set up a room and run a game, or invite another GM into run a game... whatever you want to do, or you can see about entering a PC into a different genre game. But again, I am not going to be taking on anymore GM'ing until I put a game on hiatus.

Sorry.

Okay, I'm going to put my head out on the guillotine here.

I have been itching to run a new Star Trek campaign. My face-to-face group is in the first half of another campaign, and I'm taking a GMing break for a campaign after that.

So, if I want to run a Star Trek game for a while, I need to do it online.

Here are my parameters:

1. This will be a Starfleet shipboard campaign. I'm divided between having a PC or NPC captain, but we'll decide that later. The PCs will otherwise be department heads on a mid-sized starship. We'll figure out number of starting advancements later.

2. I'm looking primarily for a TOS feel. My timeframes are 2245, 2255, 2265 or 2280.

3. The game will be played with CODA rules only. All Decipher-published material, with few modifications, are in play for character creation. I must insist that all players have at least the Decipher Star Trek player's guide.

4. We'll play on a forum, and I want to try to keep up a 1-2 post per week pace.

5. I think we should keep the game to 4-5 players, although I can be convinced to add a sixth.

So, is anyone interested?

TOS = made of win. I'd enthusiastically volunteer. Recommend rpol.net if you run the game off-site. I'd love to use the character I originally created for Aslan's Ultimate Trek game, a Tactical Officer with more of a focus on away-team tactics than starship combat, but he'd need tweaking since he was on the older side. Aslan was using the rule that one year peacetime / six months wartime = one advancement, as I recall.

[K.G. Carlson]

I'd love to get into this game (especially Coda TOS, especially especially 2280), but I've got a full plate in my last year of undergrad studies. Sooo, if this game takes flight and there are openings around May, please send a subspace communication.

[Sea Tyger]

Raconteur,

I go with a similar experience track:

1 advancement =

• 6 months "intense activity"/wartime service
• 1 year standard military service
• 2 years of civilian life

I'll work with each individual player to determine their starting rank and length of service, based on their position and background.

[Renny]

I'm interested if there's still room. My chances of face to face Trek gaming are slim to none at the moment and TOS is my preferred era.

[JALU3]

You know me, I would be down to play, but down own the CODA books :-( so I guess that counts me out until I can afford it. I'm in a wee bit of a financial squeeze recently.
If it were ICON, I'd be all over it like a striper on a 100 dollar bill.

[Maelwys]

For those interested, I've just restarted my CODA game at RPOL. You can find it here: http://www.rpol.net/game.cgi?gi=24942
All are welcome to join.

[Sea Tyger]

Well, that's two, so far.

Raconteur
Renny

JALU3, I found trying to build a character in CODA to someone else's specifications was overly difficult last time I tried this. I'll tell you what; because you want to play and I would love to have you in the game, I'll let you make a character in ICON and I'll convert him/her to CODA. (I won't do this for anyone else.)

Do we have one or two more interested players?

[JALU3]

Sea Tyger, I am sorry for being SO difficult last time. I am humbled by your want to have me, and will post a character. Hmmm ... TOS. This is Old School TOS, right, not Reimagined TOS, right?

By the way has the communited decided what the new three letter Abbreviation will be, is it ALT, or something else?

[Sea Tyger]

J, hold off on putting the character together. Come up with a basic concept, but since we haven't settled upon a starting date, don't set anything in stone.

[RaconteurX]

Of the proposed starting dates, I'd likely vote for the extremes (2245 or 2280) over the middle pair (2255 or 2265). In 2245, Enterprise is brand-new under Robert April, and in 2280 we would get Movie Era uniforms.

[Sea Tyger]

J and Renny, between the four starting years (2245, 2255, 2265, 2285), what are your preferences?

So far, Raconteur prefers 2245 and 2285.

[Renny]

Honestly, i'm happy with any of the proposed dates. If pushed, I would probably lean towards 2285 if only because i've gamed most in the movie era.
