    I'll see your's, and raise you...

    http://www.virtualscratchbuilder.com/trek/trek2.html

    This guy's work is impressive...make me wish he'd put a pricelist online...not that he'd sell them with Paramount around () .
    ...and that's about the time it hit the fan...

    Truisms I know:
    1) Marvel is NOT better than DC (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘ULTIMITED’),
    2) D20 is NOT the best gaming system out there (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘crammed’ into it),
    3) And No matter how ‘THEY’ dress it up, Regardless of how ‘THEY’ title it, and even if ‘THEY’ say “BASED ON…”; “ENTERPRISE” IS NOT STAR TREK!!!
    4) 'Reality' T.V. ain't 'Real'

    #1 - Marvel is much better than DC, there are alot less uberpowerful i will destroy the world characters in marvel, and not everyone in marvel is an alien, like in DC.

    #2 - D20 is a pretty good system, it isnt the best, in my opinion for fantasy ICEs Rolemaster is the best, for Superhero "Champions" or "Hero System" is the best system.

    #3 - What is wrong with "Enterprise" I think it is a real good show, and better than most of the others, i would rank the shows in my opinion in the following order...

    #1 DS9
    #2 Enterprise
    #3 Voyager
    #4 TNG
    #5 Anything else for trek

    Although I too prefer later "generations" of Star Trek, it should be pointed out that TOS was quite popular in its day & even more popular after it went off the air. Also, if it wasn't for TOS, we would never have had TNG, DS9, VOY and ENT. So even if one doesn't consider TOS episodes to be the best, one has to acknowledge that they started it all which ultimately lead to a rather successful franchise.

    like your name btw

    i realize that, but the worst part is i dont know how people can like TOS as the actors all hate us, they are very arrogant and annoying and most have been quoted at times as saying that trekkies are annoying and geeks...
    Thanks Alot...

    I see Rancid…

    1) And Marvel’s sooooo much better with it Earth’s populous consisting of 20% mutants (it’s true, Marvel came up with a stat that says that ‘Marvel Earth’s populous IS 1/5th Mutants…yeah, that reeeeal creative: “What his origin?” “He’s a mutant.” “And her” “Mutant.” “And…” “Mutant”).

    And not only that, but that Earth consists of hypocrites; if you’re a mutant you’re hated, but how many people hate Spider Man??? He’s got power, and very well could have been a mutant (And their PTB just rub the wrong way…much like ‘Them’).

    2) ‘Champions’ was a good system…until ‘New Millenium’, then it sucked (changing to 'Fusion' I akin to something like one saying “Hey kid, you want to play GURPS hmmm…you’re going to have to learn D20 rules for that…”). Now GURPS, they’ve got a good ‘tude: make the Rules fit the Genre, not the other way around. (Oh, for what it’s worth I’m preparing to run Tri-Stat SAS as my next ‘Supers’ game)

    3) Ok, to turn things over; what’s good about Enterprise? Every time they open their mouths, they devalue something that was done before (Borg, Ferengi, Phase[r]-Weapons, PHOTONic Torpedoes…). And the characters stink to the point that ‘They’ had to add more characters…who don’t really integrate with the overall picture…but they again, neither does ‘Ain’t-a-prise’

    (Sorry to the Mods and others about defending my views here, but if SOME people would use the boards properly)
    ...and that's about the time it hit the fan...

    They don't...

    But since Rancid insisted on attacking DC Comics solely on their alien quotient, I thought I'd just show how the grass isn't any greener on his side on the fence...

    And I repeat…

    Nothing at all…but to make you all feel better, back to the subject:
    Game Workshop just started doing Tau miniatures for BF…er, Battlefleet Gothic (the initials tend to sum up most gamers’ opinion of the game). Check this out:
    http://theminiaturespage.com/picture...03/832340e.jpg
    Now, doesn’t that just scream ‘KLINGON’!!!…oops, should use my indoor voice.

    So (and changing gears slightly) Doug/Jesse, what is the deal with miniatures; are they being looked for next year maybe? Or is the game really that far behind now. (You know I’d say “Shades of LUG”…but they at least got a miniatures set out...hey, I kid...sorta')
    ...and that's about the time it hit the fan...

    1) Marvel is NOT better than DC (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘ULTIMITED’),
    2) D20 is NOT the best gaming system out there (nor should EVERYTHING be ‘crammed’ into it),
