You can find a pdf version online but the site it's on currently causes my computer to scream malware warnings, so I'm not going to link to it. Written by a guy called Michael Scott, it was a bit basic. The first (indeed one of the earliest science fiction RPGs) was "Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier", published in 1978 to supplement its range of Star Trek miniatures. Far more than I had realised when I started looking into the subject, which even has it's own Wikipedia page as it happens- so if you think this is TLDR, you can just look at that, but it doesn't quite tell the whole story. There are a surprising number of Star Trek RPGs out there you know. Currently interested in the "Ships of the Delta Triangle" schematics which can be found on the Star Trek Blueprint Database. Also working on a larger setting inspired by Paul Kidd's "Lucanii Drift" Starships and Spacemen setting. In the meantime I am working on two scenarios, one a "Run Silent, Run Deep" sort of adventure involving a Klingon K'T'Orr-class destroyer (I have the deckplans now) in a "Wrath of Khan" Mutara Nebula sort of situation, the other a moral dilemma involving devolved Gorns, their battleship (which I also now have the deckplans for) and load of eggs that need to be looked after. I recently got the opportunity to pick up one of the occasional limited print runs via Lulu, which is most excellent.
Otherwise my creative output has been focussed on "Far Trek". I will so be buying this when it comes out. The English translation has been put on hold due to contractual obligations forcing them to focus on the Finnish translation first, but that is nearly complete and the English translation is next. It's meant to be a simple system, one for children to enjoy as well, and so falls under the mantle of "heartwarming" games like Golden Sky Stories and Ryuutama. It's a fantasy/steampunk post-apocalyptic setting on a shattered world with mysterious portals and skyships and androids and furries. There is something on the horizon that has caught my attention however. I have picked up the new "Golden Skies" supplement "Twilight Tales", a translation of one of the original Japanese supplements that allows you to add a whole new range of supernatural beings to your game, more Yokai Japanese folktale fairies, ghosts, aliens and even Time Lords! All very cute. Not much to report other than the TMNT stuff I mentioned below actually.
