Tenative plot:

Post Voyager, none of the Voy ubertech has filtered into the fleet yet, you get a mid-sized, modern ship. Mixture of exploration and the usual sneaking around with the old powers, maybe some political scheming if you're up for it, light focus on away team missions.

That's pretty good... however, we MAY want to include the ubertech into the game at some point...

Preferably without the deus ex machina uses, though :P.
Also, can we ensure absolutely NO warp bubbles?

I'll try to keep the plot-convenient technobabble and subspace phenomena to a minimum.

Woo! also, on board can we have the ability to play things like 3D chess (okay,this one would be kinda hard), or card games, and also to try less legal ways of entertaining oneself (like being "oww" etc)?

Yep, there's mechanics that can adapted to such ends. As said, at the moment my main concern is nailing all the really setting-specific stuff, such as starships, energy weapons and aliens. Everything else should be covered.

Actually, there's a pretty good mechanic for 3d chess - the opposed complex skill check. Gives you more bang for your buck if you're really good at it, but keeps open the chance that you might win by sheer luck. Spycraft comes with several more detailed games and gambling examples, so the bridge officer's poker game is already covered there. (And yes, you can cheat at cards. )

So, we're all going to be floating around on a single ship then?

Sounds like fun to me!


I've written some stuff on Star Trek technology and physics, if it would be pertinent at all (so we stay consistent etc.).

All interested people please post there. That's where we'll conduct the game. A short character description (nothing fancy, just a few words on the concept) would be appreciated.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm signed up or not - do you have to accept one of those stupid offer things to get an ezboard account?

I don't think so, but I wouldn't know. I registered the damn account years ago.

Oh well. I'l see if I can do something about it. If it doesn't shape up, I'll see about alternatives. Worst case, I'll have to let the lot of you invade my usual haunt, but only if you promise not to make a mess.

Hmmm...
Do you need any character generators, or do you have a different set of RP rules? If you need them, I have links to a few...some intensely complex, and a few simple.

Since I don't want to burden you guys with the whole math, I'll do the stats for you. (Unless somebody really wants to do it him-/herself.) Post up your concept, I'll fill it with numbers.
