After resisting this for over a year, I have finally given in and am relaunching Star Trek: Discovery.

Some familiar faces will be back, but there will be new ones, too... and that's where you come in.

This game will take place aboard the USS Discovery, NCC-71847, a Galaxy-class vessel set during the run of Star Trek: the Next Generation (i.e. pre Dominion War). Specifically, the game will begin in July of 2368.

Trek is moderated freeform gaming - I play the role of the captain, and I set the plot (with the help of one or two others). You guys interact with one another, create wrinkles in the plot, and come up with solutions to our problems.

There is some structure expected in the posts, but I'll get into that in the Q&A. It basically has to do with readability, we won't worry about that here.

Currently, here is where we stand:

Captain: myself
Executive Officer: NPC/possible cameos by Alacrity
Chief Tactical Officer: Eol Fefalas
Chief Science Officer: Reralae
Chief Medical Officer: SilentOne
Chief Operations Officer: Duncan74
Chief Engineer: Celeste
Helmsman: Tuned_out
Chief of Security: Odyson
Ship's Counselor: Teller of Ayrn

Junior engineering officer: Astrid


You don't have to be a Trek geek to play, but you do have to be committed to posting regularly (at least once per week, more is usually better), and you have to be willing to put some effort into both your character and posts. One line posts will not cut it here - expect three short paragraphs to be a typical minimum. Trek is all about character development and storytelling... share innner thoughts, motivations, etc. Be willing to play well with others.

If interested, please post here and/or PM me.


Edit: at this point, all of the department head roles are filled. If you'd like to play, let me know... you'll need to play a junior officer or enlisted.

We may possibly geek out a bit for Trek.

Check out the game entry at our Trek tools area. Click on the roster to see some of the characters (and NPCs) aboard the ship.

Wha' en th' bloody hell're ye waitin' fer, haggis?

Get yer monkey-arse innat queue, sign yer fargin' name onna line, requisition yer unis, an' get tae yer blinkin' post afore ye get me angry!

I'm in of course; but I am going to ponder a really good character for this one. One that shall be spoken of in the annals of the Inn for ages to come! Hehehe. So don't kill me.

And now I am posting again for no reason so I will hit 600 posts. That 599 offends my OCD sensibilities. So pbbbbffffft.

Nobody kills off another character in Trek.

I might smite you, however.

You're not wearing a red shirt, you'll be fine.

Maybe get incapacitated by sickness for a bit as a result of anti-darkium radiation, but never anything lethal.

Red shirts on the other hand... they have a tendency to not have a long life expectancy. Speaking of which, I should probably re-order my NPC science helpers with regards to rank... I want to keep one of them in particular!

PM already sent, but officially stating interest in Ship's Counselor.

Talks ongoing.

as security(if I can get my char from 1st and convert it), and if I have time with running a Metamorphosis Alpha game RL and homework stuffs-or just make a new char if I find out version

just saw the roster, silly me

also a junior officer because it would be fun

Loving all the interest. Just PM me details, folks.

We are getting very close. We need an Engineer, but if we have to, we can NPC.

Honestly, the response has been way stronger than I have any right to hope for. We're all but filled up with half a day of recruitment in place.

I'll start a Q&A thread soon, where I'll put up posting format, extensive info on the Discovery, and sundry other topics.

On what type of character I want to play. Gonna hold off on submitting final character info until the Q & A thread is up; might be something in there I can use.

This game officially has a name.

Star Trek: The Cassius Incident

I am about to post the Q&A thread. A lot of it will be material recycled from an old Trek Q&A, as most of the info is still applicable (posting guidelines, ship specs, etc).

We have an official roster entry for our new ship's counselor!

And no Net access until Sunday night. Probably going to be Monday or Tuesday at the earliest before I can work on my character info. Just wanted to give a heads-up on that.
