And I'm not talking for the Star Trek RPG. I've been rewatching my old TOS DVDS and realized: 'Hey, with a little tweaking these would make great D&D adventures!'
Okay, maybe I had been up too late, but think about it before you dismiss it so easily. Think about "A Piece of the Action" cast as a city or even an entire kingdom overrun by rival thieves' guilds. Our erstwhile players have been sent in by a neighboring monarch or deposed lord to somehow settle the mess. They obviously can't take all of the thieves and assassins out, they'd have to negotiate, compromise and use their non-combat powers do a great degree in order to navigate the complicated politics of gangster states.
And just think of all the cool infiltrations into the trapped labyrinths of the thieves' guilds HQs. Cool stuff if you ask me.
Any more good Trek D&D adventures come to mind?
Going to watch some more episodes tonight : - )

Hackmaster Basic
Okay, HM Basic is out. I'm out of touch with my 'puter during the summer, so I missed it by a wee bit.
Let's just say it's my next purchase. It looks, well ... good. I expected it to be.
Check it out:

The PDF previews look good and classic KODT. But will the game live up to its predecessor? I'll give you a review as soon as I get my copy read. And again when I actually play it : - )
But I'm still not putting down my 2e books yet.
Will it ever end?

I haven't stopped Gaming
Just Blogging. Sorry about that. For any who still peruse my new postings. I'm trying to get more blog savvy too. Shorter posts : - ) and better coverage out there in the wide world of netdom.
I'm currently working on developing a 2e campaign for the school club centered around Greyhawk. I'm amassing all the content now and priming the creative pump for the first storylines.
Is 2e Classic gaming? Well, it has its issues, but to be honest I'm going 2e 'cause it's obviously what the KODT were playing. And since HM is going to change the system to A&8's technology I'm waiting to see the basic set before I make the leap. It should be out soon, if not already.
Give me your two cents. 2e Classic? Dumb to go with a game because it's what the KODT play--after all my searching give me a better reason.
peace,
Chris
