Gauging Interest: Star Trek (Icon)

[Blackrat]

Well it really comes down to Theroc then. If he wants to pick up the Counselor position then it'd overlap somewhat with medical officer as a character type and I'd be better with science officer. But if he takes the strategics then I would like to coin in the chief medical officer.

Well, maybe a hybrid Ktarian then who has been raised in human culture rather than Ktarian one. Essentially human in game mechanics if that's okay, he'd just have those tiny bone spikes on his forehead . I'm thinking somewhat like Bashir. A young, brash medical or scientist prodigy... Though a genuine one and not genetically engineered .

Or alternative, just as you mused, a Zaldan who'd have hard time with the proper conduct with superiors...

 

[Theroc]

As long as I don't make uncharacteristic blunders, I think Strategic Officer would be good.

Theroc, how much knowledge of Star Trek do you actually have? Have you watched TOS? TNG? DS9? Voyager? Enterprise? Any of the movies?

Watched a few of the original movies(With... Captain... James...Tiberius... Kirk...) I watch TNG every so often on Spike, and I've seen bits and pieces of Enterprise, and like one episode of DS9.

I also saw the movie with the Borg and stuff, First Contact was it?

Yes, First Contact. Took place in 2373, which is about 3 years after when we will be playing. Seeing as your knowledge is extremely limited, you're probably going to have to look a lot of stuff up online. This will be a good learning experience for you.

Yeah. I didn't count up the episodes, but I'd say I MIGHT have the equivalent of 1 Season of Star Trek interspersed throughout all the media.

Limited, definitely. I won't mind looking things up(unless I have trouble searching, as my google-fu is abominable)

Theroc - sent the base psionics rules to you. There were more advanced ones published in the vulcan book, but would have to go over them and see what could be used/converted to Betazoids. Every one of the skills uses the same skill chart as Receptive Telepathy except for Mind Shield. Mind Shield just exists for protection.


I will go ahead and try to send you a draft tomorrow of a Betazoid Strategic Ops officer. Do you want to be more skill or more psionic?

Hi! Is there room for an Andorian Science Officer?

I've never played these rules, nor do I have access to them. However, I've heard good things and am curious, and I've got plenty of Trek knowledge. I grew up on TNG and old TOS repeats, and Netflixed the entire series of both DS9 (my favorite series) and ENT, plus I've seen all the movies (even ST:V... ew....). The only series I'm not as familiar with is VOY, of which I've only seen maybe a season's-worth total (The Doctor is my favorite VOY character, so I'm happy to see an EMH on this ship).

You can always ask me too. I consider myself an expert on things "Trek." At least as far as the movies, TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager go. I only watched the first couple seasons of Enterprise...it just didn't do it for me. Too much "retconning" of the established time line and history.
