[QUOTE="DMScott, post: 1789408, member: 11734"] Decipher holds the license for Star Trek RPGs in all eras, but I believe the RPG rights were basically an add-on to the collectible card game license (Decipher is mostly a CCG company). Apparently Decipher are going to make some kind of announcement regarding their RPG division in the near future, but until then the Star Trek RPG - and their other major RPG property, a little setting folks might have heard of called Lord of the Rings - are unlikely to see any new releases. As well, Star Fleet Battles - which through a quirk of licensing is sort of an alternate look at the original Star Trek setting - has an RPG called GURPS Prime Directive. It uses the GURPS engine under license, with the initial book containing enough of the GURPS rules to play, along with new material and background for the SFB universe. Amarillo Design Bureau, the SFB folks, appear to be actively supporting the system (I really enjoyed the Klingons supplement). I think it's a pretty good alternative for original series-style gaming.
