That's an awesome idea. I voiced Zephyros like Hoss Bonaventure, the Texas CEO character that Charlie Kelly inhabited in an episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Wouldn't do it every session, but it seemed to work for a one-off.

My current campaign is set in 2380, just after the events of Star Trek Nemesis. We all know about the weaknesses of that movie, but I find that it sets up a really interesting political situation with most of the Romulan Senate dead after a failed Reman coup. So the crew started out as junior...

Thanks for the explanation, Morrus! How robust is the theater of the mind option? I'm interested because, as GM, I often try to avoid starship combat unless I've got a specific encounter in mind that I can prepare for before the session. I find that the LUG Trek rules are just too unwieldy to...

What's the starship combat system like? I run a Star Trek campaign, and I find that starship combat can easily turn a fun game into a slog if it's not handled just right. I'm always on the lookout for better systems than the one I use, which is LUG Trek.

I'm really interested to see how this impacts WizKids and their license for Star Trek miniatures and board games. In addition to the Attack Wing miniatures game, WizKids also released Frontiers and Fleet Captains board games. And another, Frontiers, is supposed to hit shelves in May. I'd be...

I've been running a Star Trek campaign using the Last Unicorn Games system. Four sessions in, and I think everyone's having a pretty good time with it so far. After kicking the tires pretty thoroughly, I decided to put together all my thoughts on the system. You can read my full review here...

Has anyone played Far Trek, either this updated edition or a previous one? I'd be interested to know how it plays.

There are current board games, card games and miniatures games that use the Star Trek license. And video games too. If the right people thought there was money in it, we'd have a new rpg as well. Maybe Abrams Trek has muddied the water a little too, and the suits aren't sure what they want...

The LUG Star Trek game was the first rpg I ever played, and I get pretty nostalgic about it. The ICON system gets a few details wrong, but it captures many of the central tenets of Star Trek storytelling while shedding some of the common tropes that get attached to a lot of rpgs. As I recall...
