Michele Specht as Dr. Elise McKennah in Star Trek Continues

The new version 2 edit of Far Trek is available for download NOW!

Thanks to Darren Bulmer and Joe Walerko this edit should be a much better version.  Can't say its perfect--but it is (hopefully) much better and should act as the final guts of the physical book...coming THIS WEEK!

Thanks for your support and hope you like the game.

4000+

4000+ downloads of the new Far Trek edition!  WOW!  

Well I hope some of you down loaders would be interested in a new Far Trek yahoo group!  Michael Taylor has set one up to discuss alternate rules, equipment and to share adventures!

In that spirit, I'd like folks to consider if they'd like to submit their stuff to me and I could put it together a free download 'zine called Trekking for us all to enjoy! Any interest?

The re-edit of Far Trek is nearly done as is the first adventure--which will also be a free download.

As to the physical version?

I give you this warning--it will be available sometime next week! 

Again it will be up for a LIMITED time (about 24 hours) and this cover version will not be available again!

Note, I make NO PROFIT from this you are buying at production cost from Lulu.

Last, a heartfelt thanks to the kind souls who bought me a beer.  I managed to get a whole case of Shiner Black thanks to you!  I appreciate your kindness as writing is thirsty work and my wife assures putting up with my crazy game stuff deserves a fine beer or two as well! Grateful for your kindness!



Keep on Trekking!

Meanwhile back on the bridge...

Less than 1 day left to vote for the print version cover you like, although at this point it seems a forgone conclusion!

In the meantime, Joe Walerko took the time to lend his expert technical writing and editing eye to Far Trek and I am currently re-editing the rule set.  In addition, thanks to a good critical review from Michael Taylor, I am making some additional tweaks. This includes adding creature images where I could find them.

Lastly, I am editing an adventure for Far Trek--it won't be in the book, but will be a free download and if all works out it should be ready in August.

If you are near Las Vegas the Official Star Trek Convention is happening now--so beam on over and check it out!

Keep on Trekking!

Port or Starboard and a review!

Above are two of the "retro" covers I am considering when the print version goes up. Note the print will only be available for order for a VERY LIMITED (less than 1 day) time period and I make NO profit from it. Also once that cover is printed and done, it will never be back...

Let me know if either of these are interesting to you and if so which one Port (left) or Starboard (right).

Vote in the "I prefer " poll to your right to make your opinion count.

Michale Taylor has posted a good critical review of Far Trek, check it out here.

Keep on Trekkin'

Fascinating

Over on RPG Geek, they list "the hotness" which seems to be a list of rpg's based on user clicks of interest...currently Far Trek tops D&D...are you kidding--during GenCon week? That's flippin' crazy! Anyway, if someone wanted to write a quick review or first look and post it--there is certainly a lot of folks interested in what you have to think right now.  If you do post something, let me know and I will link back to it on the Far Trek site.

Keep on Trekkin'

Romulan ale

I just wanted to take a minute to thank personally the kind person who donated and "bought a brother a beer." 

My wife and I enjoyed some ice cold Shiner Black lager tonight thanks to you!  Its hard to find, but damn worth the hunt. So cheers to you kind sir and thanks so much, hope you dig the game!

These are the continuing voyages...

I am happy to announce the release of the revised edition of Far Trek!

 It is available for free and the PDF can be beamed aboard now!

I want to give special thanks to Mike Berkey for sharing his original creation and providing the inspiration for Far Trek.  I especially want to thank Darren Bulmer as he contributed a lot to this new edition in time, energy, editing eye and additional content.

At some point in the very near future, and for a very limited time, a 6x9 print version will be made available to order via Lulu.  It will be offered at NO PROFIT to me, just the cost of production for Lulu.

What is the date?  Well its a berry logical one to celebrate...

In the meantime, download the new edition and keep on trekking!

Hey if you are a TOS fiction fan, or want some grist for the Far Trek gaming mill, there is about ONE DAY LEFT to get in on The Romulan War and Four Years War Techmanual Kickstarter

You can download Mr. Fender's four novels about the Four Year's War for FREE right over here.
