Far Trek was a lot of fun last night. The episode was essentially the Star Trek version of West Virginia: miners and crystal meth cookers all over the place. The character sheets are these neat little color-coded strips (I was a blue shirt named Ensign Darius Ando). Thanks, Kerry Harrison .
Man i wanted to play that. Next time i guess.

The game system had issues, I’m looking at cribbing the fun bits from it and either using FATE or SW to run a Star Trek game with.

What I think would be neat–and I mentioned this on Friday–is if the world we were in had been a sandbox. I wanted to get off the rails and explore things and question people. I would like to submit Dogs in the Vineyard would be a terrific system for a Star Trek setting. Like the Dogs, the Federation lives by a strict set of principles and protocols. Instead of the GM writing-up towns, you could just write-up planets instead. You have a cast of characters with motivations, a rough outline of the problem being faced by planet, and then turn the characters loose!
