Now that you have Coda...

[erhershman]

Although I STILL don't have it yet, just thought I'd ask the question.

[Perrryyy]

I don't have it yet either, but I'll probably opt for creating all new characters if/when I get it.

[C5]

Mm... My intent is to convert our current ICON campaign to CODA (we haven't been playing for enough time to start over - hey, it's barely beginning). However, I'll discuss that at length with my players, and we'll probably mix a bit of both systems whatever the outcome may be.

[Greg Smith]

I'm waiting for the NG before I make a decision. But my players will be the ones who decide. I'm just the GM

[Joe Dizzy]

Being the kind democratic GM that I am, I ruled that my players re-do their characters in CODA. Despite any possible objections.

Anyway, the campaign has just started so it would make little sense to draw up brand new characters or start a whole new campaign. And with this shiny new book sitting in my shelf now...

I bought the new Trek PHB because I just didn't feel like buying any more MageKnight figures, but I also wanted some new game stuff. The game shop seems to generally not stock anything I want, so pickings were slim. Then I saw the new Trek book.

I hadn't liked much of anything I'd heard about the upcoming Coda version of the game. Flipping through the book at the store didn't really impress me all that much. But, hell, I was in a good mood. I recently moved out of the rathole where I used to live and have been in a pretty good mood the past couple of weeks.

I can't say that Coda is going to be replacing ICON anytime soon. However, I am going to run a one shot or two with it, to see how my players react. If it works out, then great. If not, then I always have the excellent ICON materials.

[Trotsky]

Well, I haven't seen it yet, but its a choice between 'create a new campaign using CODA' and 'use the background material to run a campaign using a different system' - an option which you forgot to include.

[Lee T]

Since my LUG campaign never really started, I hope that this new book will be enough incentive for my palyers to start a new one.

[AslanC]

My players are in debate. They all love the USS Lexington game, but I proposed a new game and 4 out of 6 really like the idea and are game to give it a try. 2 are holding out, but we'll see. Either way we are on hiatus for another month of two.

[Don Mappin]

We're converting, but then, we were playtesters.

Even so, we did play a few more sessions with Icon. We do tend to like the new game better, so it wasn't a slam-dunk. We're converting characters as well and play a pretty Narrativist style. That is to say, the system really is secondary to the story and role-playing in our group. (IMO)

[AslanC]

Are you converting characters with your rules (Which you once warned made for very powerful characters) or rebuilding?

[Capt Daniel Hunter]

We're going to recreate some of our original characters in CODA, and build some new ones for some 'spin-off' campaigns. The recreated charcters will be rebuilt from scratch, with some bonus advancements to reflect their time in play in other systems. I don't think I;ll use the conversion rules to port characters over, since I'm actually having more fun rebuilding. But I do plan to use the conversion rules as a guide to convert over some of the species from ICON.

We're converting. You're referring to an earlier draft of the rules, about six months ago, that I didn't write.

[AslanC]

Ahhhhh I see sir.

Thank you for the clarification

[Kirbinator]

I have been trying to hammer out an idea for my new campaign the last couple of moths so i will probably star off fresh with Coda once the narrators guide comes out
