Going out with a BANG!

t's not that big of deal guys, really. It kinda just turns the game into a Trek version of Silent Death.

When/if the opportunity comes, I'll share. I'd much rather get the ENT material up, or cobble together "Starships, Vol 2," or a starship combat/construction PDF form, release the old "To Boldly Go" material with Coda conversion, re-release the Icon to Coda document, finish penning the damn VOY sourcebook, release my big-ass Coda adventure that never quite got finished, etc.

Lotsa cool stuff

sorry I just had to put this on a new thread

How about it Don.....care to go out with a Bang

Decipher still owns the rights to the freelance material Don and me and the other freelancers worked on. It's up to them to either hold onto the material forever, print it, or revert the rights back to the writers. Since the RPGs aren't officially dead yet, and supposedly Decipher is still determining whether to go to print or not, we can't do anything with the material we wrote other than look at it sit on our hard drives.

:cry: So we'll just have to wait...

Well I just hope that when it's out, I won't have to rewrite ESO entirely to stick to the new rules

Some contracts contain a clause that states if the material isn't published within a certain period, the rights revert. Are the Decipher contracts like that?

Jim is right, but the other half is a lot of that material was former LUG material that I do own. Meaning once the site closes and I get my life straightened out, the chances of seeing much of the above greatly increase. (That ENT material is probably stuck in limbo, though.)

It is now several years that no new Star Trek game came out, Don can you give us that material now??

I'm still very intrested in those Silent Death rules.

I'd love to see any material you'd come up with, too, Don.

Since my now-three-month conversion to the CODA system, I've found it to really be the best system for capturing the essence of Trek. But there is so much that could have been done had the game stayed in publication !

I'd especially like to see the Enterprise material, and maybe an "Aliens II"... Trek has sooo many species !

Don's Enterprise material is up on my support site.

[Fugazi Grrl]

I did find an Enterprise sourcebook on your site in both black and white and color. Is that and it was pretty good. I saw Don's too, but in reading this thread I got the impression he had more work to do on it.

What I'd love to see is an expansion of the Nemesis material from your site with stats for the Ellora and the Tarlac.
