I've received permission from Steve Kenson to include his material, so all told, we've got three chapters down. Once Magnus gets the Klingon Sourcebook forum set up, we can start to further hash things out and find out what we need and what we want.

If the book was made couldnt we just intergrate both coda/icon stats? Shouldnt be that difficult to do..just a thought.Also im glad goodman doesnt want this to be made into some kind of "klingon language book".Im just looking for something i can use in multiple campaigns.With 3 chapters already done and goodman willing to do editing and layout,this should should be fun.Ill keep an eye on for the klingon sub-forum so we can get this thing done.
Mmm... I don't know, then. The Kenson write up drinks deep from the shallow pool of blandness (there's a Klingon Stalin, but no mention of the Klingon Trotskies or Lenins!). It's also TNG-centric, to the point where the political situation in TOS only gets 350 words, most of which is a rehash of what we already know, and then 150 words that were rendered erroneous via ENT. I can post my thoughts for comparison, but without the option of greatly expanding the material (the TOS and ENT eras need at least 2000 words each to compete), I'm not sure I'm into it. I might still like to finish the chapter on Klingon philosophy.
The Akos'ngan also sound a little too close to the M'rok (small nation of space-traveling spiders); folding them together might be a good idea. And the Xomin Brotherhood needs to choose either more or less Sontaran. Maybe throw in a Rutan analogue too, for flavour.
Actually, now that I'm thinking about it, a whole chapter on the enemies of the Empire would be a cool idea. Starting with notes on Klingon interactions with, intentions toward, and views of the Federation, Romulans and Tholians, and moving on to full species/location/ship writeups for aliens like the Xomin.

I know CODA doesn't float your boat, Dan, but are you familiar with the world-building system in CODA? I wouldn't think moving from one to the other would be all that difficult, but I have noticed that there are a lot of planetary writeups in some of Kenson's material that I would need "translated" and I know I'm not all that conversant in ICON.

You wanna know a secret? The crunchy bits for the world-building system for CODA Worlds? The actual rules that augment the system already in the Narrator's Guide? They're available for free up on my site. The preview for Worlds was the first chapter, which happened to have all the crunchy bits that fit in with and expanded the rules in the NG.
And I will be glad for your assistance.BUT. I would be happy to proof-read fluff text.
