Quote from: Danger;309152So, willing to tell how your Abramesque Trek game is going to go down and what you did to flavor it like you wanted?

Curious, as I'm devouring all the old FASA Trek stuff (okay to good ideas, horrible interior artwork) that I can download.

I don't run this until 7pm Saturday - thats why I'm still asking for suggestion, advice, and help for the adapting and modifying.

Campaign Idea:

Starfleet (and by extension the Federation), horrified by the possibility that the Klingons will eradicate the entire Tribble population of Known Space out of malice (because all true Klingons hate the little fuckers), has ordered the Enterprise to engage in a 5-year mission of stopping the Klingons at every Tribble-killing mission they engage in without causing an all-out war between the Klingons and the Federation in the process.

That ought to keep them busy for awhile.

Estar & Danger (others too),

What I'm doing is taking the old FASA-made adventure "In The Presence of My Enemies" and adapting it for Movie's setting and style.

That also means trying to keep the gist of it  - running around /trying to escape while onboard an enemy ship - while gutting and cutting stuff that no longer makes sense or might be too 'fannish'.

Minor things I'm already editing about it  - every reference to a D-7 Battlecruiser I'm changing to Warbird in keeping with the simulator terminology they used in the movie.  Simce the shuip shown in the movie was a D-7 style ship, I am going with the idea that 'warbird' is Starfleet nickname or slang for that class of Klingon vessel - as most Starfleet officers and personnel had trouble pronouuncing the actual Klingon name for the vessel.

Little stuff like that.

 Also I got sick of the Ambassador in the scenario having the name Rivera, so I kept him as hispanic but changed his name to Ramos.  (In honor of a Klingon fandom friend that lives in southern California)

Just discovered this VERY useful website for STar Trek Deckplans and I found the FASA deckplans on there that were meant to be used flor the old scenario:

Thats a much cleaner scan than my machine did. It will be much easier to refer to in a hidden binder during the game. (I don't jave a laptop - or that might have been used that way)

Looking for alien suggestions now.

The Lorealyns as portrayed in the original adventure  - looking to male them much more ALIEN! because the Abrams movie showed a few alienms here and there at the bar and Starfleet Academy.

If its a race that has already been statted up for GUIRPS - then that is much better choice.

The Fralli are fun.. GPD. Or a colony of any klingon subject race.

Ran it earlier today as part of "FREE RPG DAY" at a game store ('nother one locally - NOT the one I work at)

Frakking Kahless I'm exhausted!!

It was because I went for the Fast-Pace action of The Abrams movie. Holy Shrock on a stivk thats tiring - but fun.


I'll start another thread about the actual play.
