Starfleet Voyages
''Starfleet Voyages'' is a science-fiction adventure role-playing game of planetary exploration based on the ''Star Trek'' television series. The game was written by Michael Scott and published by Terra Games Company in 1982 after Heritage USA (who sold an earlier ''Star Trek'' RPG) ceased operations. The game was sold in a 1" thick box containing an 8" × 11" 74-page typewriter-set rulesbook (with errata sheets), character and spaceship data/record sheets, two 8" × 11" light cardstock template sheets for a starship combat game, and dice. Setting ''Starfleet Voyages'' was principally set on unexplored planets within the United Federation of Planets. Most player characters were assumed to be members of Star Fleet engaged in planetary exploration missions. They typically held senior posts on a starship bridge and visited alien planets as part of landing parties. For the most part, the game's rules were set in the original TV series era (a.d. 2260s) and ''Star Trek: The Anima ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Animated Series
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pro ...

Magazine Of Adventure Role-Playing Games
A magazine is a periodical publication, generally published on a regular schedule (often weekly or monthly), containing a variety of content. They are generally financed by advertising, purchase price, prepaid subscriptions, or by a combination of the three. Definition In the technical sense a ''journal'' has continuous pagination throughout a volume. Thus ''Business Week'', which starts each issue anew with page one, is a magazine, but the ''Journal of Business Communication'', which continues the same sequence of pagination throughout the coterminous year, is a journal. Some professional or trade publications are also peer-reviewed, for example the '' Journal of Accountancy''. Non-peer-reviewed academic or professional publications are generally ''professional magazines''. That a publication calls itself a ''journal'' does not make it a journal in the technical sense; ''The Wall Street Journal'' is actually a newspaper. Etymology The word "magazine" derives from Arabic , the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
