    My Trek Plotlines involve Old Friends, New Enemies and Shadowy Organizations That Aren't Section 31. I left my notes up at work this weekend. Not Good. But I'll keep at the writing thing. (BTW Tried Lord of the Rings Online yesterday... I liked it better when they called it World of...

    Sorry we needed a bump... I've been going over my notes, and busy as anything these last few days. I'll try to get something big posted somewhere (with linkies) for everyone this weekend. Oh... and as a way of helping with the Psionic discussion... I've picked up HERO Games' Ultimate...

    Ya know... if someone does nothing but the Academy, and then Starfleet thier whole lives, maybe you would find them "correctly" on the rank/level chart. If they'd played sports, you might find them with Tough or Strong or Fast levels. Had they gone to a great deal of schooling, then entered...

    I'm at work, so I have access to some of my other notes that didn't have yesterday. Basic Hero Descriptions from OGL-Trek: THE STRONG HERO The Strong Hero in OGL-Trek is surprisingly useful. One might imagine in a universe where a hand held weapon can vaporize solid rock, you wouldn’t have...

    No matter how they are written, unless Gene Roddenberry rises from the dead, there will always be "better" ways of writing this stuff. We just agree that a certain method is what we're doing and finalize a design. I still say what we have so far is great. And I'll get my blended document to...

    The Captain will be tenth. In a Starfleet game, everyone will be lower than him/her/it. In a non-Starfleet game? Hmm... it is conceivable that there could be some grizzled old space hand with more experience. The pilot should be 7th or 8th. Lower if he washed out before Lt Commander. I...

    Ihave thought about the PbP thingie... I'm pretty sure it'd work... my schedule is very rigid, leave for work at 7 am Indianapolis Time, get home at 6 pm. No work on weekends, except I'm DMing Slaughterguard from 4-9 on Saturdays. Other than that, I'm open. I even know what kinda plot I'd...

    I shall gather my notes, and get ta typin' ... so far, I've just been scribbling in my notebook, hoping to "Layer" my notes into a Modern/Future Blended SRD. I'll post something soon. As far as Psionics goes, hit me... I'll look it over, I'm sure I'll be as jazzed as I have by everything...

    Yes. Vulcan Mind Meld is a feat... called Mind Meld, 'cuz maybe there are other races that can do it as well... Those races will be present in the prerequisite spot in the feat profile. As far as making a new psi system... I'm torn. I suggested such a thing before, but I really like the d20...

    Yes I did. Sorry I did not reply earlier. I've not finished going over it, but it looks great! Definately porting over the races. As mentioned before, the Major Races (Humans, Klingons, Bajorans, Vulcans, Romulans, Ferengi and a few others (Vote?)) in the front, lesser races back in the...

    Source Material: Waterworlds for d20 Future

    This will re-write your planetary generation tables for ya... I love it. In a nutshell, this paper suggests that one-third of Hot Jupiter solar systems can form terrestrial, watery worlds in the "Goldilocks" or habitable zone of a sunlike star. All those HJ-type systems on page 33 are now ripe...

    I'm working on the captain and the others (Gilligan, Ginger, you know the lot) and one thing I I hope comes about is a clear vision of the captain's curious nature. Sure, he's a greedy bastard, but he's an insanely curious greedy bastard. Grit does not imply he wouldn't see this little ship...

    Jephkay, hope your cat's better. :) I've got further questions on the Wanderer to clarify some points: Chaos is doing fine today, thanks! I've houseruled that each ship category has a size category. Ultralights are huge, lights gargantuan, etc. I've created Awesome (-12 mod) and Titanic...

    Ship Write up... Simply Awesome. I love it.! I've been kinda quiet the last few days, being a bit stressed out over a sick cat.... but that's great work. I didn't expect the "Silent Partners" to hae rules attached... They were going to be a GM plot device, but giving a few small rules and...

    Can I get some details of your system, DR? Is it hyperdetailed or story-centered? By this, I mean are we counting spaces and power consumption and knowing precisely when a bridge panel is gonna blow out? I was thinking of a table of components, minimum ship size for those, Purch DCs and...

    Which Empire? Romulan? Klingon? Or are you suggesting the First Galactic Empire featured so prominently in a much-touted sextology of films over the last 30 years? Hmmm?

    Interesting idea... They look that way because TV has to be pretty... RPGs just have to look cool.
