Star Trek

[Ruby]

Curious to see if there's enough folks out there interested to start really brainstorming a Trek game. It's always been a surprisingly underplayed fandom on the Guild, hence floating this test balloon before doing a proper Interest Check. Thanks!

[Elvenoff]

I would be interested ..

[Rin]

Potentially interested! I would really need to brush up on my Trek lore, but it might be fun.

[Dblade26]

Would need to brush up a little, but interested maybe.

[Ruby]

I'm a walking Star Trek encyclopedia; I'll know what Wiki article to point you to, or be able to answer any questions you have myself. So I'm much less worried about the players knowing all about Star Trek.

[Lost Cause]

I'm game. Been sinking a bit too much time into ST:O recently, so... Do you have any ideas for which of the continuities you're planning to set this in, and if it's "prime" what era?

[Chev]

possibly interested. Big star Trek fan :) Would this be casual or advanced?

@Lost Cause

No, but only because I haven't asked potential players their preference yet, and I'd like to keep an open mind on all setting/plot elements until I get an idea on what you folks want, too.

@Chev

I'm inclined to say High Casual, just as a cop out. ^_^

@Ruby

If it means anything, I'd prefer the prime universe (wasn't too big a fan of the reboot movies, honestly, but I'd be willing to work with them if that's what we go with), and... Anywhere from TNG to the end of Voyager I guess? ^^; But I'm willing to work with whatever everyone else decides.

@Rin

This, pretty much. (I'm a bit more positive on the reboot films but there's more to work with in the prime continuity.)

[Dblade26]

I'm good with anywhen.

[Elvenoff]

I'm leaning toward the Reboot version due to the fact that it is so open that we can basically take the storyline and make it the way we want it to go instead of feeling like we have to follow a preset storyline... Just my two cents worth...

@Elvenoff

Um... where does it say we're going to have canon events as anything more than a backdrop?

@Lost Cause

After three shows, novels, movies, games, etc, I can understand Elvenoff's point of view. But I'm a pretty good storyteller, and I know the Trek universe really well, so I'm confident we can do a canon-verse modern story and it not feel like re-tread to anyone.

[Ruby]

I'll put up an OOC soon. Let me know what role you might want out of the starship list. And for those that don't know it off the top their heads: Captain Executive Officer Helm Officer Operations Chief Security/Tactical Chief Chief of Engineering Chief Medical Officer

[Rin]

Tempted to go with either Security/Tactical or Medical, but we'll see what I can figure out characterwise. ^^;

[Dead Girl]

did someone say star trek?

[Lost Cause]

Actually, probably best to count me out. Writers block flared in a big way and I have no ideas right now. >.<

@Lost Cause

I am pretty sure everyone else would be more than happy to help you figure something out.

Anyways, I decided to fire up Star Trek Online to get more into a Trek mood because of this, but I don't think the Romulan character I built for it would really work. XD Oh well, I'll try and figure something out. All else fails, just a human, since humans are pretty fun too.
