Star Trek: Adrift [Modified nWoD system Mystery]

[GloomCookie]

Captain's Log, Stardate 2254.8.  After a brief layover at Vulcan we're heading for the colony of Serenade V to drop off supplies and check on the well being of the colonists.  After that, we plan to head towards Station K-2 for a duty patrol around the outer territories.  Ship and crew are functioning well, and no problems have been reported.



This is something I've wanted to try for a while now, and hope it'll work out well enough.  The idea is to take the World of Darkness system and apply it towards the Star Trek universe, with a horror/mystery plot to it.  Of course not everything is going to translate well but I'll mark any changes we need to make and all that.  I hope there's enough interest because I really want to have some fun with this and want a group of bright-eyed, eager young men and women who will naturally be butchered alive by some horrible disfigured alien just kidding.  I do plan to include a hell of a mystery in here that must be unraveled, and I'll make it easy enough and approachable enough so that you don't have to be a complete Trek nerd to understand what's going on.

Color me interested

[Matthew]

I've been craving a Trek-ish RP for a while now, but I'm only passingly familiar with the WoD system. If that's alright, though, I'd love to roll a character up!

It's a darker system, at least the backstory is.  It fits much better, at least in my opinion, than Pathfinder, given that WoD is a modern game.  If anyone spots any problems please let me know.  I've been scrambling to try and fix any errors I made

Yeah, I played the Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines game on PC, so I'm somewhat familiar with the backstory, I've just never played the pen and paper version.

[SGTDan]

What class of ship will be using?

Also what time period? More specifically year.

Also what time period? More specifically year.

We'll be using the USS Madrid, NCC-1879.  Miranda-class vessel, she's one of the newer ships and so still has that new starship smell.  The stardate is 2254.83, November 1st, 2254 at 6:43PM.  I'm using the stardate format from the new movie so the year is broken down into decimals.  Stardate 2254.84 will be November 3rd at 10:33AM, 2254.85 will be November 7th at 2:24AM.  I'm not really gonna make you pull out a slide rule to compute this, this was just my OCD kicking in x.x

Between your OCD and my love for detail I think we will get along.

[Wargtass]

No Romulans? Preposterous! But otherwise interesting, I'll keep an eye on this one...

[Nykteus]

Whyever would one need an inferior version of a perfectly perfect species?

[GloomCookie]

I would really like to see some more character sheets so please, if you're at all interested in play, send me a character sheet.  I can't justify running a game if there's only one other person submitting a character sheet.

[GloomCookie]

Thank you to Matthew who has submitted our Chief Engineer :) if I can get one more character I'll start us off.

Whyever would one need an inferior version of a perfectly perfect species?

Because perfect is boring, flawed is king and Romulans rule. 

I am reading up on the ruleset again for nWoD, haven't played it for about three years or more. I'll be back shortly with a character, until then wish me luck!
