Once in a while I wander over to peruse Siskoid's (legendary Decipher-era reviewer and dream card maker) Rolodex.

Sadly, he's been out of the game for more than a decade. So I was quite surprised to see on his blog a brand-new episode of his podcast talking about none other than Star Trek CCG!

Well worth listening for some nostalgic reminiscences by him and his co-host on old-school STCCG and the influence it continues to have today.

Sweet! I loved Siskoid's reviews. I even sent him some notes back in the day that resulted in minor Trek Sense rating changes.

Basically that Security Chief Sulu was 3rd in command of the I.S.S. Enterprise, not Chief Engineer Scott, so the staffing icon reversal from their regular universe counterparts was justified and that Fal-tor-pan's card made the ritual way too common, whereas in the movie, it was so unused that T'Lar questioned Sarek's logic in requesting it (and he basically admitted she had a point).

Fascinating!

The urge to nerd correct some of their obvious errors was strong, as you can tell neither of them had played the game in awhile.

On the other hand, and MUCH more importantly, it was GREAT to see STCCG getting some love in podcast world! :thumbsup:
