Announcement: "The Final Frontier" Suspended Due to Low Activity

**Diamat** · June 01, 2012, 11:59 AM

Due to the low activity this RPG has been seeing in the past few weeks, and because only very few people posted in the "Who is Still Here" thread, I am left with no other option but to ask Pontifex to suspend this RPG. I had hoped that I could still save this RPG, but I feel I was too late.

For those of you still interested, feel free to contact me with ideas and proposals. Perhaps one day, with due planning, we can attempt an improved version of the Star Trek RPG.

Best,
Diamat

And the Indefatigable is lost with all hands on an unknown world in unknown space. Captain Mountbatten is never accounted for and presumed dead, and the fate of the away team is never known.

OH TEH NOESZ

I'm here, but I go by subscription of threads, and if I'm not subscribed to a thread I'll never see it.

Good point. Still, as recent RPing has shown, participation is too meager to warrant a continuation of this RPG. In over two weeks, the crew never even escaped the ship.

That's pretty sad.

I still think that rather than being on a ship (which in anything past TNG is BO-RING), we ought to be planetary settlers and interact with other ships/settlers.

Frankly I think this whole thing was rather rushed, and we should have ensured that everyone understood the roles and responsibilities. I think also using the ship everyone knows as Voyager rather limited the whole bit, it would have been more interesting in my opinion to use a ship not featured, perhaps only mentioned, in Canon

**Diamat** · June 04, 2012, 10:41 PM

It was indeed rushed. I only followed the ideas of the person who came up with this RPG. Once he had left, I tried to do my best to keep this thing afloat, but it was too flawed to begin with and too many members had already lost interest.

I do hope, though, we can completely revamp this thing one day. I think the less we stick to canon stuff, the more fun we'll have. Perhaps the setting should be an alternate universe. Perhaps it should be the mirror universe in which the Federation is an imperialistic institution. Invading the canon universe with our mirror fleet might be a fun thing to do...

But I think that will alienate people a bit more. I think perhaps instead if we try to revive it we should set it a bit farther in the future on an entirely different ship, actually put some work into it and make a full on guide and all that. Perhaps as this forum gets the axe we should start a thread to look into ways we can truly make a Star Trek RPG without the rush, and get all our ducks in a row beforehand

I completely agree. This is how it should have been done to begin with.

Edit: Dark Storm just suggested that we continue re-developing this RPG here in this subforum. If you are passionate about this and are willing to invest considerable time, I have created a thread here, where we can discuss and plan a complete overhaul. Be aware that development will take several weeks or even months, depending on people's contribution.
