Howdy, y'all. The new Star Wars story CodyCarson is working on gave me an idea: why not start a Star Trek RPG, call it Rogue Brigade.
Basically, the idea is that we are a benevolent taskforce made up of Humans, Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, and any other race you want to play (even a rogue Jem'Hadar, why not?) Anyway, we control a small number of ships, say 6-8, and we will describe these as well. So, anyone interested, you may join and state your character, and if you wish, a ship as well, though we will come to ships when we have enough people. You may create several characters, like a chief and subordinates. The format is as follows:
Name:
Species:
Gender:
Age:
Height (m or in, it matters not):
Weight (kg or lbs, it matters not):
Planet of Birth (optional):
Main Character or Secondary Character:
Class (Warrior, Spy, Engineer, Doctor, etc):
Rank (Ensign, Junior Lieutenant, Lieutenant, Lt Commander, Commander, Captain):
Alignment (like in D&D):
D&D Ability Scores (I will describe racial adjustments shortly):
STR:
DEX:
CON:
INT:
WIS:
CHA:
Equipment:
You may also include a biography, if you wish.
As for the Ship, that will be as follows (
www.ditl.org is a good site):
Name: (Prefix will be Alliance Space Ship, or ASS, as I just figured out to my dismay
)
Class:
Crew complement:
Armament:
Race (Like Klingon K'Vort, or Cardassian Galor):
Also, as far as ships go, we can have no more than 6 or 7, and they can't be really good. They can be new but small, or medium and old. However, we are not going to have a Defiant class or a Vor'Cha class in a rogue faction. Basically, we can have the kind of ship you can salvage, and the kind of ship a Government is willing to donate. The absolute best we can have is Excelsior Class.
Ok, now, Racial Adjustments and Alignments:
Human: LG (No Adjustments)
Klingon: LG (+3 STR, +3 CON, -1 INT, -3 WIS)
Romulan: LN (+2 INT, +2 CHA)
Vulcan: LG (+2 STR, +2 DEX, +2 CON, +4 INT, +4 WIS, -2 CHA)
Bajoran: CG (+1 DEX, +1 INT, +3 WIS, +1 CHA)
Cardassian: LN (+3 INT, +1 WIS, +4 CHA)
Jem'Hadar: LN (+2 STR, +2 DEX, +2 CON, -1 INT, -2 WIS)
Ferengi: TN (+1 DEX, +1 CON, +4 CHA)
Trill: LG (+3 INT, +6 WIS, +2 CHA)
Betazoid: LG (+3 INT, +3 WIS, +4 CHA)
That's all I can think of for now, so if you want a different race, read up on it or ditl.org and set your own adjustments. Alignments are default for the races, but you can be of any alignment. Most people in our group should be some form of Good, though.
The year is 2374, just after first contact with the Dominion.
I hope this actually grows past the larval stage.
