INTRODUCTION


FASA Star Trek Gaming Magazine Articles
These magazines contain rules and material for use in FASA's ST:TRPG and STARSHIP COMBAT GAMES
Some articles will not actually contain new rules, but advertisement and reviews of FASA Trek products.

Creating this section of the parts index was very time consuming and in some instances complex. I'm satisfied with this part of the index and find it rather complete, a reliable and an accurate source; it has gone through many many revisions. I painfully supply this list to help all the FASA ST fans to obtain these gaming articles for their collection. Notice: We where able to provide downloadable PDFs or scanned images of all these articles for the rest of us to enjoy, finally!, back from 2005+ and updates now and then for better quality. (Note: the downloads are not here).

As a combined effort with Morena_Shipyards (FASAfan) the quality of this list is possible. To further complete this list, we used several different types of research methods to expand and correct it. It's an on going process as well, as I find new ADs or Reviews in different Magazine publications from the past.

FASAfan (Lee, the Morena Shipyards Group owner) has put together a very similar Magazine List in PDF format and has distributed it among the FASA ST community. It has his special research notes and magazine history briefs as well. His list also includes (which my list does not) info for the Heritage Models ST:RPG, other Star Trek Boxed Games from FASA (non-RPG) and West End Games. You would benefit from reading it, when you download it from his Group (see links page for his Morena Shipyards E Web Group), version 3.1 was the last version.
