How to write a STAR TREK-THE ROLE PLAYING GAME scenario:

	Do the same thing that they did to write many episodes. Go down to a
used book store and buy any reasonably obscure SF novel from the '50s or early
'60s. Read the book & take notes. Change the names. Give credit to the
author if you're going to publish.

	If you have a good library, go look up back issues of SF magazines from
the same period. If you don't mind a slightly more modern feel, go to your
bookshelf & pick through some of your older issues of Analog.

	Go easy on the sex scenes if the story was written after Stranger in a
Strange Land.

	This is also a good way to write RINGWORLD scenarios, except you can
leave the dirty bits in.
