    She's an old Orion frieghter, recommisioned after who knows how long in mothballs. One source I read (CODA-Trek, methinks) claims the Orions have been a spacefaring race for thousands of years, so there's no telling how old the ship really is. Even better from a Plot Generation Perspective...

    I want to stay as close to d20 Future as we can. Obviously, some new engines, shields, that kinda thing... but nothing too outre, pleeeeze. :) Edit: That sounded kinda harsh... how about... um... I'll comment on your changes after I see them. If they are too far out from my vision, we'll...

    I think that's a bad Cut and Paste Error... your correction is welcomed!

    Here's the relavent bits on damage... note the lack of the massive damage rules. Effects of Hit Point Damage With no damage taken, a character is healthy, he remains in that state until his Hit Point loss exceeds 32% of his total. From 33% to 65%, a character is injured. From 66% to 99%, a...

    It's a massive d20... because I think it's hilarious. As far as I know... we're safe... there are literally dozens of Trek sites out there that don't get busted... We could always throw in bad jokes and call it a parody. And yeah... that's the Wanderer. Built in trueSpace4.3 by me several...

    Massive Damage saves are replaced by the Hit Point Thresholds. Otherwise, we're gonna have to play with a stack of alternate character sheets. Are there any other Open Content mechanics we want to nick for this project? Speak Up!

    I thought about that after I posted it. Then I went to bed anyway. You're right... Thirds it is... How about calling those Thresholds "Injured" and "Wounded"... or Wilma and Betty :)... just not Fatigued and Exhausted... use the same mechanic... just call it something more logical. Oh.. and...

    I've never done a play by post... are there some guidelines? Somewhere? Suggestions? Perhaps I should read the pbp stuff around here... get a clue or two... On Wounds and Such Matters I honestly don't remember what penalties CODA layered on at various levels... we hardly ever had PCs in...

    Those things, plus Action Points (I was thinking of calling them Boldness but that's off the chart stupid), and other character defining things. Mind Meld is a feat, only available to Vulcans and Deltans. If another Psi Race shows up in someones notes or online they get it too. Nimal is...

    I'm working on "merging" the MSRD & Future SRD (plus the bits of UA my son is working) files at the moment... then there will be several "worked example" campaigns. I think I'll do: 1. The Voyages of the Wanderer (Non Starfleet using the characters we're doing in this thread) 2. NCC-517...

    You are so going in this project... yeah... you are... no question. Do you have those races in a file somewhere? One cut and paste instead of 534?

    Unearthed Arcana has a section on Flaws and Traits. I say we leverage the Open Content nature of the thing and swipe it for d20 Trek... who's with me?

    Now that's what I'm talkin' about... According to a set of writer's guidelines I read a while ago... every paragraph of an RPG should give one an idea for a game session. You did that. Awesome!

    These Occupations are pretty powerful, as such things go, but I don't think they're unrealistic. Starship crews are very well trained, and I don't give two hoots about party balance. It might tend to make a lot of folks play "Ex-Starfleet" characters, but that's the risk, ain't it? Wealth...

    I see it like this... There's a limit to how much you have to use to kill someone, and then there's blowing up the scenery wholesale. As far as quick firefights go, I tend not to put anyone in front of a PC with a phaser whom I can't afford to lose. Lots of low level goons, or folks with...

    The 25% is a direct quote from Blood and Guts. What do others think? I want a net book that really reflects people's attitudes about Gritty Trek and d20 Future in particular. My eventual goal is to merge the Modern and Future SRDs seamlessly with my material for a huge PDF called d20 Trek...

    Gaining Rank in Trek d20. Using up feats or talents for promotions is a crazy idea. It’s not even wrong, it just shouldn’t be considered. This system, adapted from Blood and Guts by Charles Rice and RPGObjects, presents a system where a player may advance in rank by achieving glory for...
