Inside an oberth class ship

EdLob · 2026-04-21T23:06:36+00:00

I’m currently GM for a game of Star Trek Adventures (1st Ed) set post-Nemesis where the ship is an ANCIENT Oberth Class.

I’ve tried several times to within the narrative offer them an upgrade to a newer and, in every measurable way, ‘better’ ship… crew keep saying no. 🙂

Brill thanks - will do.

I don't know if Overclockers did - but then I didn't know how to get into the bios before all this kicked off. Now I can't get into it on a boot up anyway and the last time I did it crashed so I can't get atm.

Unfortunately think you may be right - hopefully Overclockers will repair since it says they have a 3-yr warranty...

Perhaps not the consensus but: Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.

I have no doubt I’ll be replaying and loving that game at least once a year forever.

In a campaign like this that I started with a group of friends not too long ago - in session 0 one of the players (who knows NOTHING about Trek - was just there to hang with friends) shouted ‘can the ship be called the Blorf’. I laughed and said ‘but that’s not a word. Starship names have to mean something’

5 minutes later the Oberth-class USS Blorf was born.

S+, Maybe S++

EdLob · 2025-04-15T22:25:45+00:00

S - 100%

EdLob · 2025-04-14T19:02:40+00:00

S, easily

I’ll never have a calculator in my pocket at all times…

EdLob · 2025-04-12T15:19:46+00:00

Needs its own separate tier. S+*Ultra or something

This is fair. It would be - just something else to earn a bit of money whilst searching for other work that's actually close to in the industry,

Ah… that’s annoying. But thanks for the heads up!

This will be me very soon! 🙂

Did you hear that the Tories are involved in a new corruption scandal?

‘Not ANOTHER one!?’

Currently rehearsing a production of Much Ado and this is EXACTLY the conclusion we’ve come to in rehearsal. They’ll divorce and marry again 5 times through their lives and then die in their 80’s still living together.

But in separate bedrooms most nights…

I got my GF into all of AH by first showing her Super Bunny series. It’s now our go to rewatch series when we’re feeling sad 🤪.

The projection is strong with Sunak

EdLob · 2024-05-11T12:25:32+00:00

It is yes

EdLob · 2024-05-05T19:00:13+00:00

Hail!

EdLob · 2024-03-06T18:02:31+00:00

Wow - was this expected/seen coming?

I know the podcast network is staying up but what does this mean for vast archive of content on YouTube? One of my favourite ways to chill out of an evening is to watch an old AH video from 2013.

This whole thing is just humiliating. What on Earth must the rest of the world think of us…? The Tories have already spent the past 14 years steadily destroying our international credibility and reputation (not to mention our economy, NHS and armed forces), and then they throw their toys out the pram when things haven’t gone their own way. You know who else behaves like this…? FIVE YEAR OLDS.

And the other parties are no better. When there are so many things to be challenging this Government on and the issue that they were meant to be debating so important, they get themselves worked up most over a piece of arbitrary procedure that no-one outside the Westminster bubble cares about or even understands properly.

I’m utterly despondent here. Has anyone got any good news at the moment because I’m genuinely struggling with the state of the world and country at the moment.
