There's nothing like a horde of laser-toting chiang-shih boarding your starship to really get the blood pumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucius Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... If I am not mistaken, the whole "a vampire cannot abide the light of day" meme started in the 20th century. Maybe vampires in later centuries will be like vampires in earlier centuries - stronger at night, but not helpless in daylight.

tkdguy Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Re: Hero System Good Idea/Bad Idea... Good Idea: Running a Star Trek campaign based on the movie. Since this is an alternate timeline, maybe the USS Lexington won't be destroyed this time. Bad Idea: Reimagining Star Trek like Battlestar Galactica was. Vulcans, Klingons, etc. are genetically altered humans; guns fire bullets, but Starfleet uses tasers a lot... NB: I actually liked the reimagined BSG, but the changes made just won't work with Star Trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NB: I actually liked the reimagined BSG, but the changes made just won't work with Star Trek. Several of USS Enterprise's sister ships bought the farm during TOS (Valiant, Defiant, Intrepid, Constellation - plus both Exeter and Excalibur took total crew kills but may have been salvageable). I'm pretty sure USS Lexington survived (chewed up some in 'The Ultimate Computer', but that was all), unless you are referring to a later version / period. Interesting to speculate on the timeline divergance that could exist by Next Gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to speculate on the timeline divergance that could exist by Next Gen. According to the FASA game, the Enterprise was the only Constitution-class starship to complete its 5-year mission. I don't know if that was actually canon. But I remember the Excalibur being destroyed. I think I mistook the Intrepid for the Lexington. Didn't the Intrepid have the all-Vulcan crew and got killed by the giant space amoeba? That may change. And since my campaign was set aboard the Excalibur, the characters may yet live.

Close, but many instances where the background went in one direction, only to have the actual series / movies zoom off someplace else. Intrepid had the all-Vulcan crew, lost in 'The Immunity Syndrome' (yes, to the giant space amoeba). Excalibur was a victim of the malfunctioning M-5 computer in 'The Ultimate Computer'. Her entire crew was killed, but the ship itself could have been salvaged and returned to service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
