I started playing Trek in 2003 after the debut of 2nd Edition. When 1E was out, I'd collected the cards like mad but I'd never been able to play anyone, so I'd eventually stopped. With the debut of 2E, I was in college and in Columbus, and I was able to find a group of players. From there, I moved into running tournaments, becoming an Ambassador and then a dAgent, and finally a Level 4 Judge. I love this game and I am passionate about it's future.

I began playing Trek in the spring of 1999. I was a freshman in college at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and was hanging out a lot with my friend Denise, who I met in chemistry class. I asked her if she wanted to room with me the next year and she accepted. She told me that I would need to meet her current roommate since they were best friends, because we'd be spending a lot of time together. Denise, Cheryl and I went out for dinner at the specialty BBQ restaurant in the dorms, and soon found out that we all got along like peas and carrots. I was impressed they had read Anne McCaffrey and they learned I loved Star Trek. They introduced me to Star Trek CCG and I was hooked. We decided to get a triple room for the next year. Over the years, Denise and Cheryl have dropped out of playing, but I have carried on. After graduation from UIUC, I went to Boston University for graduate school. I became an ambassador, and along with Chris O'Connell (Brak_) gathered a good group of players from around the MA area to play regularly. After two years, I finished grad school, moved to Chicago, and became a regular here. I've played all three games, but concentrate on 2E and Tribbles these days.

So, what skills do I bring as a member of the CC? Well, first off, I am a physicist, which means I am comfortable doing all sorts of data analysis. We have a number of folks around here who are good at that sort of thing, so I feel I can simply add to their contributions in that area. I am also a teacher, so I feel I can be a real asset to figuring out ways to introduce and teach this game to new folks. As an academic, I am also well-versed in working in a bureaucracy. One skill I have acquired over the years is knowing who to go to in my school when I need to get something done. (And I do get things done at my school. Ask me some time about when I got $40,000 for my students to build a rocket.) I think this will translate well in the XO post, where I will work as the liaison between the players and the CC. I have also developed a reputation for being good at telling uncomfortable truths to the Administration at my school, and have somehow miraculously escaped unscathed. Finally, I am a very even-handed person. I like to try to see both arguments and try to work towards a compromise whenever there is a dispute.

I fell in love with trek watching TNG, and later DS9, every weekend with my parents and their D&D play group (I come by my nerddom quite naturally). I started playing 1E in the PAQ era. A friend of mine had a bunch of cards (he was much more into trek. I started collecting with the purchase of a first anthology. I still have the box taped together holding part of my collection. During the late 90's we had a playgroup of about 8 at my high school and went to frequent tournaments in the Denver and Colorado Springs area. I learned to appreciate, and later love the rules, at a Colorado state tournament (which had over 40 players -- the good old days). I had stocked a Writ, but totally missed that I could use if for a self seeded Plan-net. After that I made it my mission to try to be aware of the rules interactions as possible. After moving to the Chicago area I played until 2E came out. I was frustrated by the prospect of starting over, and saddened by the simplicity of early 2E (it felt a bit to much like Young Jedi to me). In 2011 I decided to dig out my old cards and look for games, It was that time I found the CC and was excited by the state of the game. I have since dabbled in 2E and Tribbles, but 1E is still the Best. Hence, why I am excited to now work on the rules for 1E.

I played Star Trek CCG from the very beginning in 1994, when my dad (who owned a trading card store in Rhode Island at the time) showed me this Star Trek card game he was selling that seemed quite popular, and bought me my first starter deck. (He also introduced me to Magic: the Gathering, but that's another story.) I played casually over the course of First Edition's history, never participating in any tournaments but considering myself more of a collector. I stopped playing on the announcement of Second Edition and switched fully to Magic, sort of forgetting the game existed for a long time. Then in late 2011, I stumbled upon the Continuing Committee while looking at Star Trek role playing game materials, and was instantly hooked again, buying up cards to collect, setting up local tournaments, teaching all my friends to play, and even branching into Second Edition. It's been a wonderful experience and I love playing and supporting this game.

Paddy Tye (a chicken-soup-vending-machine repairman) was the sole survivor of a radiation leak on his mining space ship. He emerged from suspended animation 3,000,000 years later, where he then took on a series of jobs including the role of the Dread Pirate Roberts. After rescuing Princess Buttercup, he then formed a tag team with Andre the Giant and spent several years running a small cafe in France helping the French Resistance. He is good friends with George Lucas and was the inspiration for the character Boba Fett. In 1997 he helped orchestrate the New Labour election campaign, but abandoned them shortly afterwards after he observed their pitiful attempts to dance to D:Ream. He spent several years as a backing dancer for Geordie pop sensations PJ and Duncan, before his health got the better of him and in 2005 he retired into a role sitting in the middle of the TARDIS console making wheezy noises to replace the special effects department. Throughout this time he has been an avid fan of the Star Trek Customizable Card Game, playing First Edition locally in his hometown of Beccles since 1994, before discovering TrekCC around 2010/2011 and playing around the UK (and beyond) ever since. He has been a member of the First Edition Creative Team since 2011, helping to add flavour to new STCCG cards. In 2016 he turned his hand to design and we haven’t been able to get rid of him since. He’s been part of design teams for the 50th Anniversary set, Broken Bow, Coming of Age, Q Who?, The Neutral Zone, Dogs of War, Second Star to the Right, Paradise Lost and Showdown: Four Lights.

I've been a member of the Trek community for quite a while (and still have my first white border '94 set). I've been an Amabssador, a dAgent, and a tournament director all over California: Irvine, Modesto, Turlock, Fresno, San Francisco, and now San Diego and Carlsbad.

I volunteered to take the Shipping position so Charlie can focus on other important things, and to get the level of trust back up so that players and tournament directors can order with confidence.

I've played 1E since White Border Premiere, 2E from day one. I entered the "Design the Continuing Committee Logo" Contest, won, and became the Art Director for The Continuing Committee. My dream (volunteer) job. Pretty cool.

I am an artist, and a mother a three. I started playing 1E and 2E more than 16 years ago. Was an Ambassador with Decipher, Inc and help create several of the Star Trek RPG digital expansions. I took a break from the games (to have some kids) and re-entered the community in 2013. I am an avid Tribbles player and enjoy running Wednesday Night Online Tribbles every week. I take great pride in my work and put a lot of time and effort into every image. I hope it shows!

Rogue has been playing Star Trek CCG since 1E WB Premiere, and has run tournaments up and down California. Rogue became a Decipher product champion upon the release of Star Wars, but returned to playing Trek as well after the release of First Contact, and has been playing ever since. Despite moving to Boston briefly while his wife finished school, Rogue continued to be active in the Trek scene by driving to tournaments in Hartford, CT, and later teaching friends to play when 2E was released. He has been an active member of the local Trek scene since moving to San Diego in 2003, and has been gathering intelligence for you on Star Trek CCG since 2008 as one half of the on-air team of the Section 31 podcast.
