Star Trek RPG

[Major Darling]

Hopefully we can start a Star Trek RPG on here

Set in the late 24th Century, around Voyager/DS9 timeline

Im not a hardcore Trekkie, and so this will be aimed towards more casual and interested people. We can set it on a ship, and assign certain missions or so on.

The playing base would not have to be large, and would function with around 10 players.

If your interested just post below.

First I think we may need a little more than that, what's the aim of the game, the rules, the ranks etc

[Major Darling]

Im open to any suggestions, it just came into my mind today and sounded good.

The way ive seen it on other sites is that they have a starfleet ship, and beforehand set a mission with a goal and leave it open ended.

There would be the different branches on board, Command, Security etc

[Dark Storm]

So really a chain of command that branches off into separate areas?

E.g:

Recruit- Lieutenant-Captain
- Technician-Head Technician

I know it's simple but it's only a model

Now, separate starships? or one with all players and npc star ships that join it at times?

Would everything be based on these missions? or would there be opportunities to expand further? I.e if I wanted to I could organise a coup, take over the ship and attack my allies, basically defecting? or are there set rules that would disallow this?

If I was going to suggest something it would be one starship for all players and all players can do what they want rp wise, within reason of course, not being restricted to stopping coups and rebellions, things like that

[Major Darling]

We would have one starship

While there is the main role of a mission, there would be many opportunities to do other things
-Time on space stations
-Recreation
-Coups, ship politics and drama
-Time on planets

We would also have contact with NPCs

Ranks are all officers
Ensign, 2nd Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Lt. Commander, Commander, Captain

There would be a few departments (Medical, Command, Engineering etc) , but theres the ability to be a non officer member on board, like a counsellor or cook or something similar.

[Dark Storm]

Sounds good, would pay be respective of position and fixed? or would it be given out by the ships captain each year?

Create social group, develop rules and game mechanics/setting colour with group of trusted people to act as moderators. Post those rules/game mechanics/setting details once you're ready and ask people to sign up. Get xy number of people, success.

[Major Darling]

I know how setting one up works MM, ive been playing RPGs here since 2009,

THis is more for the game to be public and so if anyone wants to help, give ideas here!

[Hobbes.]

Set in the late 24th Century, around Voyager/DS9 timeline

TNG, TNG!

In any case, contact LR, perhaps he can help you out.

[Major Darling]

The dates at that point are quite a crossover though Hobbes, so in some ways we could try and capture them all..

LR has been informed

[Major Darling]

RESERVED for some detailed proposals

[Lord Rahl]

I will make a proper post later. Consider me interested but wanting to figure out, with everyone else, exactly how this will work.

[Dark Storm]

Ahhh, now I know who LR is, that was admittedly quite a mystery hello

[Lord Rahl]

Once you go beard, you never go back.

Darling and I had a little chat on MSN earlier where we discussed what we think the basics should be. Of course we want feedback and suggestions from y'all as well.

[Darth Roxas]

Would we be limited to certain races or not? I'd have fun RP'ing a Cardassian or Vulcan. ^_^

And you can take this as my post of confirmed interest; good luck. :3
