Star Trek game
The first "episode" of the Star Trek RPG was today. For the first game, there was only three players, but that seemed best as I was still working out a feel for both the system and how the games would feel.

Since the PCs were an engineer, a doctor, and a "redshirt," I tried to make the first plot one that would be of definate interest to each of them, so the first plot dealt with the discovery of an ancient space station created by "The Preservers." The satellite was once used to take genetic samples of races and seed them through the galaxy and is one of many once created by the Preservers and the cause for all the humanoid species in the galaxy. (In my mind, another one of the satellites was to be the "Caretaker" from the pilot episode of Star Trek: Voyager.) It was now capturing the crews of starships with the plans to seed these "new lifeforms" across the galaxy. With genetic stuff and rare diseases, there was something for the doc. With ancient technologies and computers to talk to, there was something for the engineer. For our daring, "man-of-action," there was things to sheet, a "bad guy" to punch and a woman to romance.

It was awkward at times, as I expected it to be. It was the pilot episode, afterall. However, I think the series has promise and look forward to the next episode.
