Interest Check: Freeform Star Trek/Superhero Crossover?
Checking if anyone besides me would be interested in a Star Trek/superhero crossover game. The superheroes would all be canon, the Star Trek ship and characters original. If so, would you prefer DC or Marvel?
But Rogue Leader, I hear you ask, what would be the advantages of playing a Star Trek character if I could play a superhero? I mean, some Vulcan science guy vs. Batman? Come on!
So here's the caveat: Only Star Trek characters can take advantage of Star Trek technology. That means only ST characters have access to phasers, any ship tech, giving commands, piloting the ship or any shuttle, etc., etc. The superhero types are civilians and passengers, and are expected to behave as such.
As far as a timeline, the game would take place during the Original Series era. That means no holodecks, no quantum slipstream, no Borg. It's two-fisted exploration all the way.
The story would center around a Federation starship that gets hurled through space and winds up deep in Klingon territory. They have to fight, outwit, and otherwise Trek their way home. Think of it as Star Trek meets "The Warriors" (that's a classic movie from 1979, based on the ancient Greek "Anabasis" by Xenophon). Along the way the make friends, enemies, discover new life and civilizations, and try to not get ganked by those pesky Klingons.
