Mainly interested in (1) boarding parties and (2) "away teams".

Thanks.

I'm going to use "Fantastic Worlds," which is written for pulp-and-serial flavored Sci-Fi but happens to be a system that I am familiar with and think works pretty well. It'll be out this November, which is okay because I have plenty to paint in the interim.

"Fantastic Worlds"?

Who's putting that out?

Thanks.

I'm using 5150 with my VF Trek guys. I'm still playing around with phaser rules though.

Void Trek 3007 A.D.

It is a "lite" 80's style RPG ruleset. Eleven pages long and free from download from a Yahoo Group site.

I'm still gathering minis to start a campaign.

Who's putting that out?

I am. :-)

This is the forum for all the Rattrap Productions games. There is one set up for Fantastic Worlds and the author is on there to answer questions.

Richard,

As soon as I finish collecting the figures I think I'll need, I will definitely check it out.

Thanks.

Savage Worlds is a great system that works pretty well for just about anything, and I believe there's already a Star Trek mod over on savageheroes.com.

CC, I'm the author of Fantastic Worlds and while the ruleset is based on pulp era sci-fi like Flash Gordon and John Carter of Mars I cannot deny that I was heavily influenced by Star Trek. To be precise, the original series, which has a great pulp feel to it.

I think it will be a very good fit for Star Trek gaming.

" I cannot deny that I was heavily influenced by Star Trek. To be precise, the original series, which has a great pulp feel to it."

Due in no small part to the captain of the pride of Starfleet solving more than a few problems with his fists or some other body part. Does Fantastic Worlds have provisions for "Seduce Bad Guy's daughter/wife" or "Turn Bad Guy's deathly loyal animal companion against him"?

"Does Fantastic Worlds have provisions for "Seduce Bad Guy's daughter/wife" or "Turn Bad Guy's deathly loyal animal companion against him"?"

The right skill set could accomplish the latter. Any seductions in the game will be left up to the imagination of the players…
