    Chat with Don Mappin and Doug Burke this Sunday!

    Hello everyone!

    In a great gesture from both of the guys, Don Mappin and Doug Burke, writers for the upcoming Star Trek Roleplaying Game books by Decipher, have accepted to participate on an online chat this very Sunday April 14th at 6 PM United States CST. That should be 12 AM GMT.

    The chat will take place on the #TrekRPG channel on the MagicStar roleplaying IRC server.

    On mIRC (or other IRC client) choose MagicStar as your server, or type /server irc.magicstar.net, then choose #TrekRPG as your channel, or type /join #TrekRPG.

    Alternatively, you can chat by going directly to the MagicStar webpage on www.magicstar.net , and then choosing 'Chat NOW!'. Put your nickname and type TrekRPG as your channel.

    Hope you all can make it there!

    Cool A funny thing happened on the way to chat...

    Well, the funny thing is I got the dates mixed up and actually was sitting around for the chat last Sunday. I am such an idiot at times.

    Just as clarification, Doug Burke was a playtester and is the current NetRep—he was not a contributing author. Neither of us are Decipher employees.

    I’m planning to speak on design considerations and answer specific rules/mechanics questions, Doug can iterate Decipher comments (and take back your own comments) and also answer rules questions. (Tag team!)

    Hope to see everyone there! (Transcript will be available on this site afterwards.)

    I go to reply and realize Don already said everything I was going to.

    I'm looking forward to it as well. I've seen how Don and I handle tag-team in person, so now it's time to move it onto the net...

    For the other Euro guys and gals:

    The good Dr. is a little mistaken regarding the GMT time. 6PM CST is in fact 12PM GMT (midnight in the night of 14th to 15th), as Europe is ahead of the USA.

    Or 1 AM on British Summer Time.

    Gentlemen, I shall be unable to participate, as I shall be asleep

    Don, I would definitely love to see the transcript!

    Have fun...

    I was not mistaken, Lancer. 12 AM is midnight for me, and 12 PM is noon.

    It's not like I thought Australia and Austria are the same country

    A little added incentive to attend this chat…

    I’ve spoken with Decipher Marketing and two copies of the Player’s Guide will be provided as gifts to two lucky attendees! While I won’t go so far as to quote delivery times, the chances are very good that these lucky winners will have the books before the rest of the world.

    Details on how you can win to be provided at the chat this Sunday.

    A big “thank you” to Decipher for graciously donating these prizes!
