Star Trek: Prodigy asks the question: "What does happen when you hand Nickelodeon a Star Trek license?"

The answer seems to be something along the lines of "The writers play a Space Aces campaign and pass on the results with some minor editing and some more dialog written in".

It has a very similar energy with the on-the-spot one-offs using said system I run with my son and a friend of his when he's with us on vacation. I'm... kind of on board with that, but I also kind of think professional writers should be expected to deliver more logical plots than a couple of kids come up with by creatively interpreting some dice prompts...

Sorry. Don't you have an older daughter too, though? Thought you might be talking about her.

Not that I know. But the chances are pretty low anyway.

Then I probably misinterpreted something in one of your past posts somewhere...

Not your fault. Maybe I am just an minor NPC here and my template was reused in another game.

Actually, I think it is really a Management by Excel problem.... in my world, t1 and t2 are just nanoseconds anyway.

Unfortunately, my world extends to the frontend, where the information of how many nanoseconds passed since Jan first 1970 is often considered less than helpful by the consumers...

Thats another departments problem. (No, not really, no. But I can still pretend that I don't need to use the standard ISO DateTime classes at least THIS year.)
