At the moment, I'm not taking on any more Trek games... seems
there's been a big bustup with a couple of organized "sim groups"
(what the rest of us call "roleplaying," Trekkers call "sim"...
why, I don't know) and I'm unwilling to take the chances of
getting involved in THAT little political fracas.

I've already got 4 Trek games (plus one more that I'd already
promised a list to), and I've gotten requests for 22 more lists.
If it's a really, really *different* game, I'd consider taking it
on, but taking on that many generic Trek games would turn the
Phoenyx into a Trek site and, well, I've just never been *that*
much of a fan.

It's been a difficult decision... we really don't like to turn
people away (unless it's *obvious* they're not going to be able
to run the game/list) or show any bias, but this is somewhat of
an unusual situation.  It's not really fair to the individual
Trek gamemaster who wasn't involved in FSG or Stargame or
what-have-you, but I haven't got any way to tell and we just
haven't got the volume to absorb that many lists of *any* niche
genre without heavily affecting the Phoenyx' reputation as a
generic.

Now, if any given Trek gamemaster were to bring three or four
non-Trek GM friends to run a game to balance the genre load, I'd
take 'em on.  Well, as long as the others weren't *all*, say,
X-Files gamemasters...
