Star Trek Communicator Article on RPG

**Dan Stack** · 07-20-2002, 06:28 AM

The new Star Trek communicator has an article on the new RPG, including some pictures of the Decipher developers if y'all want to put a face on the names in the books. Trek-RPG.net is mentioned as is Don. It also talks with Don Mappin quite a bit who tells some funny tales from the playtest (tales I'd love to tell but can't due to NDA...)

No mention of Dan Moppin though.

"No mention of Dan Moppin though."

Just his evil twin...

I thought Dan Moppin was the evil twin.

Only one way to tell: which one has the goatee?

Both. That's it's so darn hard to know which is which!

Uh oh! Guess I have to check this out to see what skeletons were drug out...

The one I recall from the article is the amusing frequency of failures characters had at task resolution in the first pass of the rules.

(I can see it now - "I turn on the computer". "Make a TN30 Computer Use Test" "I failed by 20" "Uh-oh, the panel explodes in your face...")

Cool, it's out! Did they get the website address right?

I wasn't comfortable with that interview--too much attention focused on me, IMO. Others who read it disagreed. Guess I'm just too modest...

....NAH!
