I just thought of an interesting idea for a chess variant. Set-up and all rules remain the same, except for the knights & bishops. Every time a knight is moved, is becomes a bishop. Every time a bishop is moved, it becomes a knight. This is mandatory, there is no option to leave the piece...

I posted a few AI-generated fiction stories in a thread "Letting AI write a story" {https://www.trekbbs.com/threads/letting-ai-write-a-story.316184/} just to show what the AI author is capable of. After talking with a co-worker, I think the subject of AI-authorship deserves some discussion...

I've been playing around withe Microsoft Copilot "artificial intelligence" web page. I figured I'd let it try to wrote a story, so I took the plot of one that I wrote and plugged that in. My story is SECOND CHANCES found in Post # 12 of this link...

Any thoughts or opinions about whether or not Star Fleet would use military working dogs? With all the advanced technology in Star Trek, would there be a place for K9s and dog handlers? What purpose would they serve? I presume they would be used on away missions and boarding actions, but is...

Something I would have never thought about: http://www.sjgames.com/ill/archive/April_27_2021/Counterfeit_Games And someone posted on another board: "FFG did a review a few years ago and found that close to 75% of their games that they bought on Amazon were counterfeit." Thoughts???

This is a serious question posted by Steve Cole on ADB's Star Fleet Battles discussion site. "Have you tried SFB On-Line and did not like it? If so, why did you not like it? What can we do to make it better?" If you don't want to post your answers over there, just ask me or Nerroth to...

This is a timeline based on data extracted from official Trek sources and Memory Alpha. It is by no means a complete list of events. I included my own ideas to fill in the holes. This lists have the pound-sign / hash-tag '#' right after the date. If you disagree with any of these lines, feel...

Tell us about your ship! With so many ongoing fiction stories being posted about the ships Bluefin, Pugnacious, Cayuga, Ranger, and others, I thought it’d be nice if we had a bit of background about them. Please post the Cast of Characters to go along with your fiction series. Give us a brief...

This is another in a series of stories I'm writing based on the Federation Police Force. Think of them as to Star Fleet as the Coast Guard is to the US Navy. The era is TOS, after BALANCE OF TERROR and before ERRAND OF MERCY. At this point of my writing, there is a Police Cutter scheduled to...

ADB said they have 12 (twelve) people signed up for the "Sapphire Star 2" on-line tournament and are looking for 4 (four) more players to round out the field. Pop over to starfleetgames.com/discus for more information.

This is actually the third segment in a long series of stories I'm working on. The first two are done, but I'm not ready to start posting them just yet. I end the second segment in a cliffhanger; this segment follows immediately after that. I'm not done with this segment, but I thought I'd...

This is a short (1750 words) filler segment, part of a much larger set of fiction stories I'm working on. Many of these character appear in other segments. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Setting: Police Station Cygnus A three-vehicle convoy pulled up to a shopping center about two...

I've seen some technical drawings that say this dome is the "Main Navigational Sensor Array" and the one on the bottom is the "Planetary Sensor Array". Okay, how might a dome-shaped nav sensor work?? I have a theory about that. Imagine a bundle of thousands of very skinny meter-long soda...

I had a oddball idea and played around with some numbers to see if it would work. What if the Warp Speed calculation are misunderstood? What if instead of W being linear, it actually follows a spiral as described by the Fibonacci Sequence? Under the current method Warp Speed cubed equals Light...

So Clever By: GLG (c) 2018 A young woman eschews a position in the family business and strikes out on her own. She has the training and the resources to succeed. Strong-willed and independent, she believes she is ready for anything. However, when things don’t go according to plan, she is tested...

This is a real Hollywood movie, not a fan-film; it's not a Trek movie but rather a movie about a Trek uber-fan who takes a trek of her own.

We have a friend with twin 14-year-old daughters. We consider them our god-daughters. Several years ago, I bought them a keyboard (electric piano), and then a few years later I bought them each an electric guitar. They have since acquired another keyboard (used but bigger/better) and an...

1) Which Trek actors/actresses have you actually met in-person? 2) Which Trek actor/actress would you like to hang out with? 3) Which Trek character would you like to hang out with? 4) Which Trek character would you like to serve with / under? 5) Which Trek character would you want by...

Yes, I know this is like asking "Ginger or Mary Ann" on a grand scale.... Guys, (and gals, if you like): Who is your favorite female, character or actress, in all of *official* Star Trek (no fan-films)?? For me, it used to be Yvonne Craig (Marta in "Whom Gods Destroy" / aka Batgirl), but I...

I started this project in Sketch-Up a couple days ago. I'm just learning how to use the program, so I'm not very good with it yet, but I'm fairly proud of what I've been able to accomplish. If you know the game Star Fleet Battles, you should know the tiny ship called a Police Cutter. It's...
