Trek is on the way but feel free to do your own - it will be interesting to see another take on it.<br /><br />The main question I'm answering here, and I should probably put this in these posts, is "how would I structure a campaign to make it feel like X". It does matter - in a Star Wars approach like this the universe is in a way the prize, while in a Power Rangers approach the universe doesn't really matter as much - it's all about the PC's and their enemy with the setting mostly being scenery. With Trek the universe is front and center, almost like a heavily detailed NPC that must be met and befriended but who can still turn on you. <br /><br />I haven;t run a 1-20/30 campaign using the PR model but my current D&D game is pretty close - it's a struggle against a single main enemy and the PC's have been fighting through his lieutenants and minions and have now met the big guy himself, and coming off in worse shape for it. The finale will be finally defeating him and his allies, very much like a PR season finale. Well, I hope anyway!

Duuude. This. This is awesome.
Seriously, y...Dude. Duuude. This. This is awesome.<br /><br />Seriously, you should make a series of these. I went back and read the old Power Rangers one again and I really think you have an interesting format with which to put forth your insights.<br /><br />Do Trek! Do Trek! Hmmm, maybe I should do Trek.<br /><br />Anyway...I find it interesting that while I love the way you laid this one out and it is very much Star Wars, I don't think I've ever really run this type of campaign.<br /><br />OK, maybe once, kind of, using Star Wars. It isn't really my bag. That said, it could be. It's actually giving me an idea on a great way to run my next big game idea. <br /><br />Got to go makes notes and think.<br /><br />Great post Blacksteel!Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.com
