The first character that I created in the old FASA Star Trek RPG was Mackenzie Decker, son of Matt Decker, brother of Will Decker. He was ex-Starfleet, resigning his commission after the disappearance of Will Decker after the V’Ger incident. He became an independent freighter captain, and was known by his leather jacket and whip, looking much like Jake Cutter from Tales of the Gold Monkey but without the hat, and Indiana Jones without the fedora.
In the new Star Trek Adventures Exploration Guide, there are two new character creation options, Outpost Scientist (ex: David Marcus) and…
Independent Archaeologist (ex: Vash)
I’m not sure I’ll recreate Mac Decker as this new character option, or just make a new Indy-type character. One of the example Values listed is ‘These artifacts belong in a museum!’ and one of the new Talents listed is ‘Make Your Own Luck’.
Don’t touch that dial!
