Re: So...STAR TREK!
I'm going tomorrow as I haven't missed an opening night for Star Trek film in 18 years. I'm reserved right now in what to make of the film and will wait until I've seen it before rendering a final judgement. I'm NOT a fan of J.J. Abrams and have considered everything he's ever done to be over-hyped crap, big on promotion but lacking in substance and quality, so I'm very wary.
As for its impact on MU*s, I haven't found a Trek game I've liked (actually, that can apply to science fiction MU*s in general). If it weren't for the IP-infringement, I'd take a shot at making a Star Trek RPI but as with any theme there'd be problems (aside from the IP issue) and my time is already devoted to TSOY. So, I'm not holding my breath on Star Trek having any impact on the MU* scene. Might inspire one or two games but they probably won't be anything better than what's been seen before.
