Better Red Than Dead
RPG Campaign Idea
The PCs are crewmen aboard a Federation starship at the time of the original Star Trek TV series. They comprise a security squad, in fact. Every session they get an assignment that's almost impossible, and the goal is to not die.
If one of the PCs is taken out of the action, the squad's boss (a grumpy petty officer) beams down and takes over (so that the player has something to do).
The starship gets lots of exciting assignments, but the squad usually only hears about them. They're not playing the bridge crew; they're the grunts.
This would be a GURPS 4e campaign, and the PCs would be built on 25 points.
My question: does this sound fun?
Would it help if I provided some scenario outlines?
