STAR TREK RPG
SOLO CARD AND DICE GAME
By C Gerard Luft

INTRODUCTION

    Although my favorite Science Fiction RPG has, is and always will be 
TRAVELLER (my favorite genre is Classic Space Opera; though DOCTOR WHO is 
always number one with me, I never classify it as a specific genre), I always 
had a soft spot in my heart for Roddenberry's utopian Star Trek.  A veteran 
of the FASA STAR TREK RPG, The adventures I loved the most were the basic 
explore, first contact, go where no man has gone before on a Constitution 
Class Star Ship.  This game captures that feel.  Although I loved the FASA 
game, I am trying to be progressive, so I have used a VERY SIMPLIFIED system 
based off the new Decipher Star Trek RPG.  

    You will need 2 six-sided dice and a card deck composed of the STAR TREK 
CARD LIST below.  I have also included a STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION CARD 
LIST, STAR TREK: THE MOTION PICTURES CARD LIST, STAR TREK: THE ADVENTURES OF 
CAPTAIN SULU! CARD LIST and the crew from the ENTERPRISE-B in a STAR TREK: 
GENERATIONS CARD LIST (give Capt. Harriman a chance; he's just green).

THE TURN 
    
    Each turn represents traveling at warp speed, orbiting and scanning, and 
beaming down to explore an unknown planet.  You begin the game with the 
ENTERPRISE, KIRK, SPOCK and MC COY cards on the table.  All the rest are 
shuffled up into one deck. Draw one card from the deck each turn. 

SHORE LEAVE!: If the card you draw is a crew person, add that character to 
your other cards (representing your Landing Party/ Bridge Officers). The turn 
is then over, so proceed to the next planet.

FIRST CONTACT: If you draw a First Contact card, roll 2d6.  If it is equal to 
or less than the score for the highest COMMAND OFFICER PROFESSION score of 
your cards in play, you succeed in making first contact.  If you fail, the 
newly discovered aliens become hostile. Proceed to INVADERS below in order to 
resolve the conflict.

INVADERS: If you draw a KLIGON SOLDIER OR CAPTAIN, or a ROMULAN SOLDIER OR 
COMMANDER, a fight ensues (complete with Phasers and round-house punches)!
You must roll on a 2d6 equal to or less than the score of the highest 
SECURITY PROFESSION score or MEDICAL PROFESSION score of your cards in play, 
in order to avoid a casualty.  If you fail, you must discard a card from your 
characters in play.  Security goes first (it's that red shirt thing), then 
command, then science, and finally medical.  

SPACE COMBAT: If you draw a KLINGON or ROMULAN starship card, the ship 
attacks the ENTERPRISE:
1.  The Klingon or Romulan ship goes first (it's a Star Fleet directive 
thing)
"   ENEMY SHIP: roll 2d6 +6
"   ENTERPRISE: roll 2d6 + highest OPERATIONS OFFICER PROFESSION + 1 for each 
addition character in play with OPERATIONS OFFICER PROFESSION.
"   If the enemy's roll is greater than the Enterprise's roll, then the 
Enterprise is dead in space and the game is over.
2.  The ENTERPRISE goes next
"   ENTERPRISE: roll 2d6 + highest COMMAND OFFICER PROFESSION +1 for each 
additional card in play with COMMAND OFFICER PROFESSION.
"   ENEMY SHIP: roll 2d6 + 6
"   If the ENTERPISE'S roll is higher than the ENEMY SHIP'S roll, then the 
ENEMY SHIP is defeated.  If not, return to step 1 and continue the combat.

TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE: 
If you draw a TO BOLDY GO WHERE NO 
MAN HAS GONE BEFORE card, roll 2d6.  If the roll is equal to or less than the 
card in play with the highest SCIENCE OFFICER PROFESSION or OPERATIONS 
OFFICER PROFESSION, then you succeed in a great discovery.  If you roll 
greater then the score, then the ENTERPRISE is disabled, and the game is over.


WINNING

    If you make it through the deck, you win!
