It's possible, but some of the others seem to have been just assigned to the Enterprise. Kirk isn't even supposed to be part of the crew.

You'd still have to remove all of his good traits, double his arrogance, make him an incompetent coward, and dress him like Ronald McDonald to reach sixth Doctor level of annoying.

That's right we're not nerds, THEY are.:-S :( Sorry, but your stereotype is just as applicable to RPGers as a whole as it is to people that hang out in game stores. That is to say that it applies to some people, but not nearly all. People that hang out and game at my FLGS are lawyers, military...

It seems I may have been wrong about the cadet thing. Kirk at least is a cadet.:heh: Here are some links to more descriptions of the 4 shown clips for those that want spoilers. *WARNING: spoilers ahead!* TrekToday - Abrams Introduces 'Star Trek XI' TrekToday - Major 'Star Trek XI' Details...

For those interested here is a link to the story about the clips that have been shown. *WARNING: There are a lot of spoilers and the site is ad heavy.* IGN: Star Trek Preview

Nah. I admit it when I'm wrong rather than edit. At least once someone else has posted after me on the thread.:devil:

Darn, for some reason I thought his last name was Chic. Now my first post doesn't even make sense. D'oh. :blush: :.-(

I think it was more of a Chic magnet actually. :uhoh:

Independent used bookstores are a different animal. Many have survived the big chain onslaught pretty well. I suspect a lot of Amazon marketplace bookstores are primarily used stores that discount some new stock when it has sat on the shelf too long. Others are simply online only just like...

The problem is that providing that much stuff would probably mean a membership fee of at least $30 to $40 a month. Casual gamers and gamers that collect every book for their favorite system aren't likely to join. My FLGS has everything your proposed pay to play business has except soundtracks...

Amazon didn't kill the general mom & pop bookstore. Most were bought or put out of business by the big chain bookstores well before Amazon showed up. Most independents that survived were niche stores that served a community that the big chains didn't cater to. These are the stores that Amazon...

From evidence in other clips that have been shown, it appears part or all of the classic crew are cadets on a training mission. Kirk is such a washout that Dr. McCoy must use his authority as a doctor to get him on board the Enterprise. There is also evidently time travel involved in the movie.

I think someone is overestimating the importance of traditional miniatures gamers to the prepainted collectible miniatures lines. The vast majority of customers for most collectible miniatures games are tournament players and people that are into collectibles. Most traditional mini gamers...

*Pedant mode on* They are using 2d terrain as a way to describe what is probably most precisely called a terrain map. What you have described as terrain is actually model terrain. One form uses maps, the other models. Both are abstract ways to represent terrain. Neither is a form of actual...

A small piece of plastic or wire shaped to look like a tree isn't a tree either. Fortunately, we are talking about a product for playing D&D which has rules for determining LoS using 2d terrain. The rules are in the PHB. I play all kinds of miniatures games and don't know one that doesn't...

We can only hope that the BBC learned from that experience. :eek:

Vampire the Masquerade could be full of stories and roleplaying fluff because it was set in a single defined world with a metaplot. D&D is not set in a single clearly defined world. There are plenty of D&D related novels if you need fiction with your rules. Vampire the Masquerade in fact did...

Colin Baker appeared in a Doctor Who storyline during Peter Davison's run. Baker's character shot the Doctor. So there is precedent for casting an actor who has been on the show already. Edit: Of course Freema Agyeman appeared as another character in the Cybermen episodes before being cast...

I noticed the person in the suit. I counted 14 clear passes and possibly a 15th as it appears one pass is tipped in flight. I have no problem with perception checks, but don't also don't think they're really important except in stealth/ambush situations.

I would have liked to see him stay for at least one more full series. The new Doctor will have some pretty big shoes to fill.
