[Online][GURPS]Star Trek New Horizons
system: Gurps 4e+a homebrew ship to ship combat system
how will we play: mainly through discord with dice bots and GCS for character tracking the combat system doesn’t really need tokens and a battle map to function but I will probably throw together a owlbear ship combat map just for ease but ground combat will be all theatre of the mind and more cinematic if it ever comes up
Time and day: Sundays at 1pmEST ending at 5pmEST
Whom should apply: people that know how to use gcs well enough to add all the homebrew items im making for the game into their character sheets not to mention homebrew races aswell
Era/Universe: a alternate universe trek where the ferengi are hyper socialist and federation is known as the Democratic Republic Union of Stars(DRUS) and is not a utopian hyper socialist faction but more like the modern US economy is on paper with a large military and want for resources and land that necessitates wars or proxy wars with other factions such as the Klingon Republic, the Romulan-Reman-Garizian Alliance, the Holy Cardassian Empire, the Breen Confederation, Kzinti Matriarchy, The First Union, Alliance of Independent systems, Tholian Piety, and so on I’ll prolly make a map in paint of all the factions in the alpha and beta octants but that’s not where this takes place entirely
The story: you’re a crew aboard a DRUS Exploratative warship first of her class with a brand new transwarp drive capable of reaching places in hours that took days and days that took weeks the first test involves a precision strike against a Holy Cardassian Empire star base should be easy enough minimal protection is there but once it’s been disabled or destroyed you gun it to the next objective, but rumors are floating around of a test of a device that could with the transwarp drive make you reach past your enemies and allies to places untouched like the gamma, delta, omega quads
this game is supposed to be reminiscent of the AU in Strange new worlds with the AU Kirk
Addendum:ive decided why do all that work for the personnel side when prime directive exists lol so i will be using prime directive for most of the equipment besides adding some things here and there aswell as adding some new species for this AU but we'd be using the revised edition corebook for species that already exist and personal equipment but space combat is basically non-existent in prime directive so that all will still be homebrew, oh and we're using roll20 now 😄
