Losing the faith...

Just out of curiousity, Joe, do your DVDs offer German dubs or subtitling?

Both.

5 languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish) and 10 sets of subtitles (In addition to the languages above: English for the hearing-impaired, Danish, Dutch, Norsk (sp?), Swedish).

Gotta love those DVDs!

I've played Trek RPGs on and off for the past 11 years or so, and yeah, every now and then "the love" gets away from me and I need a break to go do something else, be it Star Wars or D&D or something else. Somehow I always come back to Trek though, for one reason or another.

I watch the episodes (starting to get TNG on DVD and am getting DS9 tapes), I watch the movies, I flip through the Encyclopedia and other books, I re-read the LUG and Coda rules. Eventually ideas will spark, and I'm off and running.

As of right now, I haven't played or ref'ed a Trek game for a couple years, mostly because I've been running Star Wars steadily. I need a break from SW, and right now Trek or LOTR is going to be the next game (and both are Coda, how about that?).

I'm also writing Trek short stories for Pocket Books' Strange New Worlds contest and watching DS9 episodes as they arrive from Columbia House. The enthusiasm is there, and I will likely start searching for players soon, for a one-shot test game. From there, I'll either open up a new Trek campaign or try out LOTR when it comes out.

So, read books, watch movies and episodes, and most of all, take an evening to get outside and just look up at the stars and think of all the adventures they hold.

I understand you situation. I live in southern Missouri and they took away Voyager after the first season, and it went to UPN. We have no such station. I loved Voyager in the beginning. So I know how you feel. But remember buy the DVD's they are great. There's all the original series and starting to have TNG. And lastly.

Watch Enterprise. It may not be classic Trek but it grows on you.

The HeroWars stuff has utterly killed it.

I love Hero Wars (soon to be relaunched as HeroQuest), personally, having long ago decided that RuneQuest was terribly outdated and not particularly versatile. The difficulty of starting and maintaining a Gloranthan campaign is what has me depressed.
