[QUOTE="the_dunner, post: 1790536, member: 19753"] There are actually 3 (yowza) out of print Star Trek RPGs. The original was published by West End Games as "The Star Trek Adventure Game." I've only ever seen the boxed set. To my knowledge there were no expansions for it. This came out in the late 70's to early 80's. I've absolutely no idea what the game system on this one was like. FASA published The Star Trek RPG in the early '80's, and supported it quite well until around 1990 or so. I've played the Starship combat simulator that they published for Star Trek III, and it was very good. To this day, the game has dedicated adherents. I believe the system was d6 based, but I recall very little beyond that. To my knowledge only one NextGen book was ever published for this system. Last Unicorn Games picked up the license for the Star Trek RPG in the late '90's. I think they held it until the company was bought out by WotC. If memory serves, they published 3 separate core rule books -- TOS, TNG, and DS9. The system was fairly popular at the time and the production quality was very, very good. Product support was fairly extensive, and I regularly still see sourcebooks in bargain bins. Somewhere in my gaming closet I've got the TOS core rules, but never really examined the system closely. I seem to recall that it was d10 based. (This game company used the same system for the VERY limited edition Dune RPG.) [/QUOTE]
