I have said it before, and I'll say it again.

Paramount should have put ADB in charge of Star Trek.

Then it would have continuity and it would make sense.

IMHO anything that included TOS as total canon without several caveats to address continuity problems was doomed from the start.

For ...

Do not get me started on how short-changed Game of Thrones was. There should have been 100 episodes, not 73.

Sounds a lot with my view on Enterprize .

There is no way to fit that mess into Star Trek, without invoking that three season Temporal Cold War going on, if you used TOS-TAS as the base ...

... GURPS as they have an active license on the Traveler stuff.

That expired recently. GURPS Traveller is firmly in the past now.

Actually "The rights to this material have shifted, but fortunately the new owners have decided to keep it all available via W23." (2015) This is why all the GURPS ...

If Paramount (or whoever) wants to be tolerant of fan work, swell, but that still does not mean we can risk promoting or allowing others to promote on our site anything that doesn't have specific written and published permission. Even then we'd have to ask Paramount.

Got you. One could clobber an ...

Please remember that I have been too sick to work much for two years and only got back to full time a month ago. Don't expect two years of products we didn't do to get done in two months. Sadly, and I apologize for it, but my bad health and eating decisions cost all of us two years we have no way ...

I am sorry, but we can't put that link here.

Basically, this is an unauthorized work that is using Paramount intellectual property. Whether it actually passes Paramount's fair use policy (which I doubt and am not going to check), hosting such a link on ADB's website is simply too risky to allow ...

Current plans are to FIRST fix the main book, which is very flawed.

Then do a new empire, perhaps Gorns or Felines or Orions. Or Tholians.

I know that is an old thread but it is the most relevant one to the point I want to raise.

As a die hard Star Trek fan I have to agree the main book is very ...
