[LFP] [FREE] Star Trek Adventures, Era TBD, Eastern USA time zone Looking for fun, mature players to have some great times with

Note to mods - Hello, and I know I posted a post very similar to this yesterday.&nbsp; I realized that I hadn't filled out the title with enough information to entice interest, and I don't know how to request a title change (if you even can).&nbsp; I apologize if I've broken any rule by doing so, it wasn't my intention to cause any trouble Hello everyone, We are looking for players for a Star Trek Adventures game that I’ll be running in the near future, after some collaboration with the players selected for the game. &nbsp;This particular game is for Federation Starfleet characters.&nbsp; We will possibly consider games for other governments, etc at a later date. The positions that are available for players are: Captain (All Eras) First Officer/Executive Officer (All Eras) Chief Medical Officer (Doctor, All Eras) Chief Tactical/Security Officer (These can be either two separate officers, or one officer.&nbsp; In the ENT Era, commonly one officer called an Armory Officer) Chief Engineer Chief of Operations (sometimes called Chief Operations Manager; in the ENT and TOS Era, usually functions split between Science, Engineering and Communication) Chief Counselor (Only available in TNG and later era; During the ENT and TOS Era, this function was fulfilled by the Chief Medical Officer) Chief Flight Control Officer (also called Helmsman or Conn Officer; in TOS Era, position was a two man team, Helmsman and Navigator) Chief Science Officer *MACO (Military Assault Command Operations) Commander (This position is available only if the game is set in the Enterprise era.&nbsp; The MACOs were disbanded after the formation of the Federation, and no longer exist) We are also going to be using the rules for Secondary Characters as well. &nbsp;A Secondary Character is not required , but would be helpful and appreciated if you choose to create one. &nbsp; We will have a Session 0 to discuss the era and time period the game will take place in, the type of ship, the mission type, etc. &nbsp;Whatever the main thrust of the campaign will be (usually one of exploration), you may occasionally be given an assignment for a different mission type.&nbsp; These assignments are usually brief and temporary. We are looking for a pretty heavy roleplay focused group with appropriate character behavior realistic in relation to the situation. &nbsp;There will be drama, comedy, action, combat, and all the other stuff you see in a typical Star Trek episode. &nbsp;But the main impetus of the game is interaction and character development along the way, and having fun in the process. We are in the Eastern USA time zone (UTC -5) . &nbsp;There is some catch up/yak time around the beginning part of the game for player interaction, so the time isn't rigid. &nbsp;Typically, we play about 4 hours, though sometimes it’s longer, sometimes it’s shorter. &nbsp;We use Discord for voice chat, and Roll20 for the actual game of course. &nbsp; The game will be on Fridays at 4 PM (16:00) Eastern Time USA (UTC/GMT -5). &nbsp; This is when the game will take place.&nbsp; Use this link if you are unsure about what day and time that is in your time zone.&nbsp; Enter our day and time in the boxes.&nbsp; The time is in 24 hour format, and the Region for us is North America.&nbsp; In the second box you’d put in Maryland.&nbsp; In the other boxes, put your Region and Country, or whatever is applicable and hit Calculate.&nbsp; This will tell you what day and time the game time is in your time. <a href="https://www.thecalculator.co/time/Time-Zone-Calculator-169.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.thecalculator.co/time/Time-Zone-Calculator-169.html</a> If you are unable to play on this day at this time, DO NOT apply.&nbsp; The day and time will not be changing. &nbsp; This is when I can run it.&nbsp; This is the time I have available to run it.&nbsp; This is the day and time the game will be.&nbsp; If that doesn’t work for you, causes a schedule conflict with you, or just isn’t a day and time that tickles your fancy, please don’t apply for this game because this is when I am able to run it.&nbsp; If it were negotiable or flexible, I would have put a range instead of a definite time. If you are selected for consideration, I'll message you via the Roll20 messaging and give you the server and my Discord so we can talk more there about the character you have in mind, and work out details.&nbsp; Please note that I probably will not be able to respond to each and every person and tell you whether or not you’ve been selected for the game. &nbsp; If I don’t send you any sort of note, this isn’t me being rude, it’s me having limited time like everyone else. We're looking for people who actually want to roleplay, and that want to have a great time with the game and group as a whole, rather than those in the smaller percentage of people who are and just want to be disruptive and obnoxious. &nbsp; The species will be restricted to those in the rulebooks (I can help you get access to them if necessary), according to the era and time period we end up playing in.&nbsp; There are a few third party species builds that I have approved for play, and can get you their information as well. We are looking for : 18+ mature and open minded/accepting individuals. &nbsp; The age restriction doesn't mean everything is going to be solemn and stuffy by any means, it has mostly to do with language, content, etc.&nbsp; We are an open table. &nbsp; This means we are accepting of LGBTQ+ people as much and as readily as we accept anyone else.&nbsp; Insults, slurs, and other negative behavior towards anyone by anyone for any reason will not be tolerated. Knowledge of Star Trek and the Star Trek Adventures game is useful and helpful, but by no means required . The number one thing we're looking for is players to have fun with us. &nbsp;The knowledge is a perk, but not a requirement NO min/maxers or “must be the ultimate badass” types - If you're the type of player that tries to create the most invincible ultimate badass character that can do everything, succeeds at everything, makes no mistakes, and is perfect with no flaws, drawbacks, problems, etc then this is not the game for you.&nbsp; Challenge yourself and play an interesting and engaging character that is as normal and as flawed as anyone else.&nbsp; If this doesn’t interest you, this is not the game for you. People that are passionate about roleplaying believable and realistic characters within the framework of the setting of the game . &nbsp;Crazy assed concepts won’t fly. &nbsp;Playing a unique and interesting character doesn't mean coming up with the most outlandish asshat you can conceive.&nbsp; Please don’t waste both your time and mine by trying to pass off something crazy.&nbsp; Be mature. This includes being passionate about your characters being realistic in the context of the game.&nbsp; This isn’t a Monty Python or Benny Hill romp, it’s Star Trek.&nbsp; It has drama, suspense, comedy, a little bit of everything. &nbsp;&nbsp; People with a sense of humor and who enjoy interacting with your fellow players as both players and characters . People who are actually going to be team players, and not a bunch of "I want to go do my own thing" types. &nbsp; I’m running one game for however many players we have, not running a game for you and another for the rest of the group.&nbsp; I’m also not running individual games for each player. NO rules lawyers . &nbsp;I’ll most certainly make the occasional mistake or forget something.&nbsp; If I forget a rule or am not sure about it, I make an on the spot ruling.&nbsp; We can fix it later.&nbsp; If you disagree with my on the spot ruling in those situations, discuss it with me after the game, not during it . &nbsp;If I made a mistake, we'll fix it and be aware of it for future events. &nbsp; I want everyone that plays with me to have fun, to have a great time, and even make some friends out of the deal if possible. &nbsp;If, for whatever reason, the game isn't fun, or there's an issue or problem I need to attend to, tell me . &nbsp;Sure, I like being told about how good the game is, or that tonight's session was really fun, like anybody else. &nbsp;But if there's something wrong, or negative, tell me about it . &nbsp;That way I can take steps to fix it. &nbsp;I can't fix a problem when I don't know there is a problem. &nbsp;I prefer communication between my players and me. &nbsp; So, if you’re interested enough to have read this far, please do me a favor and fill out this short form.&nbsp; It’s to help me gauge the interest in which era and time period everyone is most interested in playing.&nbsp; It’ll cut down on some time during Session 0.&nbsp; The link is here <a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevYRgqffFitMIL7efP2WAU3PYxXevjLdPH2wmnpJChhbSvOA/viewform" rel="nofollow">https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevYRgqffFitMIL7efP2WAU3PYxXevjLdPH2wmnpJChhbSvOA/viewform</a> At any rate, I know that's pretty long, but if it sounds like something you'd enjoy, drop me a line and we'll see what we can do! &nbsp; The current plan/hope is to have Session 0 this Future Day and Time to be determined Eastern Time USA (UTC/GMT -5). &nbsp; This will be dependent upon the number of suitable responses and everything coming together.&nbsp; Thank you for your interest! &nbsp; &nbsp;

Damn, I forgot to add Please reply with interest to either this thread, or send me a direct message.&nbsp; The survey doesn't give me any kind of contact information for the person filling it out at all, so I have no idea who you are if you take the survey. Thank you!

I'm interested and took the survey

Sent PM.

It seems that we won't be able to have our session 0 on May 29, 2020 as we anticipated, due to too few applicants at this point.&nbsp; We're still needing several more and are looking forward to exploring the galaxy of Star Trek together with some great people. The game is still on, just that we don't have a start date and time due to the fact Session 0 is being delayed due to lack of potential players. Thank you for your time and interest

Hi I’m interested in this Star Trek rpg you have running. I’ll have my answers in the survey soon. Edit: hello just here to update I have done the survey.

Hi I am interested.&nbsp; Have not played Star Trek before but familiar with the various series and movies.&nbsp; I am an American in the UK so the time works for me.

Hello. I am quite interested in your game. To bad I seen this one day to late :) I played some STA before, but game was canned for unknown reasons. Survey answered.

Actually you're not too late at all.&nbsp; We've had to delay Session 0 until we can get in touch with those interested and figure out what's what.&nbsp; So, you're in the running like everyone else in the thread.&nbsp; Thanks for your interest!
