I grabbed it at the $15 tier. Don't know if I'll ever get to play it, but definitely seems like interesting reading at that price.

There are a couple of benefits beyond PDFs in there too: a 50% off coupon should you decide you wish to buy the core book in hardcover format, and some stuff for Star Trek Online, including DS9 style uniforms.

Ah, that's where I got mine from. Just spent the evening doing the "how do I have these already" search. :)

Nope, this is the one that came out more recently, after Decipher lost the license. I believe that makes this attempt #4... ;-)
(FASA, LUG, CODA, now Adventures... plus a handful of smaller one-offs scattered throughout, but they weren't really full systems so I don't count them)

So.... $15 gets me basically the entire system in pdf format?

Am I reading that right?

Might be worth it....

You're not going to count Sh***y Ensigns ? ;)

I admit I wasn't familiar with that one...

Although I wonder why they bothered to invent a new system for it. They could've just put a Star Trek skin on Paranoia and it would've captured the essence of what it means to be an Ensign...

If I understand it right, it's just Apocalypse World with the math and skills reversed, which is cute. But I'll agree that for all the talk of "it's not about the mechanics, it's about the *story*", a lot of games keep inventing new mechanics for RPGs that do roughly the same thing. ;)
