RE: Void --- This is only -MY- opinion, and the game's designer might have other thoughts, but here's how I explain the Void. Remember the formula Speed = Warp-factor cubed times light-speed? That works great for Tactical Warp Speed, up to SFB speed 31-hexes, but not for F&E strategic speeds...

In SFB/FedCmdr, the Fed CA has four photons and eight phasers. In the Abrams universe, the Fed CA has forty-four photons and eight-hundred phasers. And does less damage to the other ship per volley.

Starfleet is Paramount. Star Fleet is ADB. It's a minor grammatical yet legally very important difference.

Inter-planetary. People live on planets, not stars. :roll:

I don't know about Mongoose, but ADB has said they need to give about four months notice to the distributors and stores before they release a new product. And they don't like to make such notice until said product is done and pretty much ready to go. If they should announce when the product is...

I shouldn't steal Jean's thunder, but have you all seen this: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151702307968280&set=a.324701708279.150256.231728653279

I'd be curious of what their reply was, if they didn't ask you to keep it private.

As Jean said, these are all new deck plans based on existing rules and data as published in ADB's Star Fleet Universe, which in turn is based on classic Trek (ST:TOS & ST:TAS). Can a deck plan artist take "inspiration" from FASA designs or other sources? Sure. Can you use a direct copy of...

Well, Steve Cole uses Freehand for Mac version 8.0, so the format has to be something he can pull into that program. I had to convert my files to TIFF, but then if there are any changes to be made, he can't easily edit the imagery. I need to do some experiments with DXF files to see if he can...

Regarding the AWAY TEAM LOGS, on the ADB board I asked: And Steve Cole replied:

Over on the ADB boards, Steve Cole and Jean opened a topic to discuss a possible new product called "Away Team Log". This will be a consolidation of material that's already been published in Captain's Logs. Rather than buy fifteen or more back-issues of Captain's Log, Prime Directive players...

I don't have kids of my own, but we're around our friends' kids a lot.

My first thought was Dora the Explorer. Is that sad?

I only have PD:GURPS, but I was under the impression that it has all the same fluff information that PD:D20 has. Ditto for 20M. I can see that what is "rules" (i.e., required to build a character) in one game engine is gee-wiz fluff in another. It's just background flavor text to set the...

I think you misunderstood my use of the term "twin". That's all game-engine stuff, so of course that needs to be in there. That's the "twin" stuff. The fluffy bits that don't change from one game engine to another. The way one game describes an item might be a little different from how another...
