On Saturday I watched "The Undiscovered Country" again, and once again I was stuck by just how good a seam of material there is for role-playing purposes. By the end of that film you have an uneasy peace breaking out between the Federation and the Klingons, albeit with plenty within both civilisations more than willing to bring it down; you have the Romulan Empire scheming constantly; you have whole regions of space out there to be explored; and you have the Enterprise-A and its crew being decommissioned and the Enterprise-B being brought into service.
All in all, that's a great environment for role-playing! And, as an added bonus, that era also has the best uniform design of all Star Trek. Really, what's not to like?
Honestly, the more I think about it, the more I want to run that campaign. Sadly, chance would be a fine thing...
