This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

What would you want to see in a Star Trek game?

Later on a player might help you work out the tech details.

Oh - my ST campaign is still going on.

I'm revoking your Star Trek Trekkers Credentials Card. Immediately.

You should be ashamed of yourself. :hand:

Has anyone played the Star Trek Clix boardgame?

Any ideas worth stealing for a RPG?

You could use the ship models, but that's about it. The ships are very cool. The game is fun in a beer and pretzels type of way. I like it a lot and I've never been much of a clix guy. I've bought two 12-packs and a starter. The sculpts and prepaint quality is fairly good, although the scales on some of them are off so that they will fit on the stands.

I read that it was just Heroclix rules with Star Trek minis.  Can anyone confirm or deny?

I was initally going to pick up a starter because it had the TMP Enterprise in it.  But I found out they painted the ship blue, and that was a deal killer for me.

I want women crewmembers in minidresses and updos.

Seriously, women in the original series had a profound effect on my pubertal years.

Heh. "Pubertal". I never would have imagined that was a word.

Anyway, I agree with the rules-light, less crunch crowd. It's one of the reasons I didn't like GURPS ST even though I dig GURPS, and it's one of the reasons Star Fleet Battles drives me away screaming in fear. If other people like crunch in their space operas, that's cool - I don't, particularly. Give lots of rules for in-setting stuff (species, ship classes, outer space anomalies & events, etc), or the ability to create such things very easily (following a stock template, maybe), and leave the rest up to the GM or the players.

Fluff isn't needed; there's mountains of fluff out there already. Combine with an action-oriented system (with a well-thought out secondary social system, mind you), simple character creation, ship-to-ship combat rules and bam, away at the races.

Oddly, I think such a system could work for Warhammer 40,000 too.
