All, I'm not interested in posturing, feeding, protecting, or ballet dancing around anyone else's inflated sense of self worth due to their self-proclaimed...
... You are, of course, assuming that we have comments about the articles we wished to discuss here. Simply saying that the articles were interesting is not,...
Scott, You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. Nowhere did anyone ask for you to posture, feed, protect or ballet dance around anything or anyone. It's...
I agree that ship captains, especially those with lots of experience, deserve respect. Being a captain does require enormous patience, some imagination, and of...
I agree. I think one effective method would be to refer to ourselves by our given names, instead of our psycho adolescent power fantasy titles. --Scott...
Okay, this has gone far enough. DO NOT make me lock down this whole list, please. Here is the simple fact of recent events: 1. The Captain's Guide post has...
Hi all, I'm just wondering, but do we think there will be a new spate of Star Trek RPG's and GM's/AGM's with the release of the new Star Trek movie later this...
The key to recruiting is spreading the word... Once you've written that extremely enticing description of your group, you need to get that word out to as many...
Hi Drew I think it likely that there will be new games, and I hope there will be new players too. One of the problems our game has noticed over the last year...
First, I'm sorry not to have gotten back to you earlier on this, Wes, but RL has been difficult recently and most of my attention and spare time has been given...

Hello Matt, It's good to see you back in simming again after being away for so long. To try and answer the first question I would say this: I agree with your...
Hello all. I am Commodore Corrine Slate of the USS Excalibur. I was part of Obsidian Fleet, until I took the ship and became an independant. We have been going...

Deos anyone feel that the last ST movie brought an influx of new RPGamers to this genre, or did it have little effect? For me personaly, I can't honestly say...
I think it's a "flavor of the week" so to speak. I haven't seen the boost that I was hoping to see when I was administering a larger fleet. Yea we have a few...
The reality is most people go to see a film and that's that - they do not then go on to do anything else as a result, they simply enjoy the film. Matt Captain...
I personally had much more luck using the perceieved momentum of a new Star Trek renaissance. As it is, I think there's more confusion than anything else on...
