Welcome to the Foundry Roundtable, a weekly podcast dedicated to Foundry missions, mission building and other UGC issues starring Foundry authors Drogyn1701, Markhawkman, DuncanIdaho and Greendragoon.
We livestream on Wednesdays at 7:30PM EST/4:30PM PST on twitch.tv/thefoundryroundtable with episodes launching the following Monday.
New to the Foundry? Check out our new-author tutorial series, Foundational Foundry:
If you have a topic you'd like to see us cover, have a mission you want promoted, or would like to be a guest-host, e-mail us at FoundryRoundtable@live.com or follow us on Twitter: @FoundryRoundtab
What topics do you think we should tackle for future Foundry challenges?
Depends on what level of genocide you want to go on ...
You could do one based on alternate timelines caused by the Krenim Timeship during the Iconian War ... maybe we fired it more times than we can remember? Though I suppose it would come under the [Ico] tag.
[TCW] Temporal Cold War related missions?
[Gorn] LONG LIVE THE GORN!
[Kelvin] Set a mission that has something to do with the Kelvin Timeline?
[Rom] A mission set for a character of the Romulan Republic
[AoY/TOS] A mission set for a character in the 23rd century
I actually wrote all the possible alternate timelines from Butterfly down for a previous Roundtable episode:
Eliminate Iconians from Time: first development of warp tech in Alpha Quadrant is delayed by 50,000 years. Dewans rise to power, are beaten by non-logical Vulcans, who enslave everyone else. Violent Vulcans are locked in a terrible war with the Dominion.
Remove a specific sequence of stars - rogue planet enters iconian system, Iconians have to deal with that instead of war, ending up as a peaceful people. Dominion attacking Earth. Earth had been at war with the Romulans before the Dominion attacked, because we tried to help the Klingons, who were tearing themselves apart through civil war. Betazed and Tellar Prime are taken, Vulcan was rendered uninhabitable.
Prevent Voyager from going into underspace and awakening the Vaadwaur: No Delta Alliance, Iconians used the hierarchy instead.
Keep the Yamato from discovering Iconian tech: Romulus still there. The Star Empire is stronger, but D’Tan starting his rebellion anyway and gaining lots of support. No Iconians, but Borg making inroads.
Eliminate an Asteroid: Romulus assimilated 20 years ago, who knows how far the Borg have spread.
If we get Na'Kuhl NPC's we could do "Stop a temporal agent from interfering with a timeline."

Or maybe Hur'q? Anyways, I have to admit that I didn't figure out an ending for my mission. This is why MJS liked to say that you need to start writing with the beginning and the end, then fill in the middle.
You just want me to write a mission with nothing but potato jokes, don't you?

No ... go back to doing Gorn related stuff. Failure to comply will result in @markhawkman and @artan42 being covered in marmite for my amusement!
Sorry Mark, Artan.

Infact, imaging engine oil that's infected with yeast. Now spread it on toast.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

'...I can tell you that we're not in the military and that we intend no harm to the whales.' Kirk: The Voyage Home
'Starfleet is not a military organisation. Its purpose is exploration.' Picard: Peak Performance
'This is clearly a military operation. Is that what we are now? Because I thought we were explorers!' Scotty: Into Darkness
'...The Federation. Starfleet. We're not a military agency.' Scotty: Beyond
'I'm not a soldier anymore. I'm an engineer.' Miles O'Brien: Empok Nor
'...Starfleet could use you... It's a peacekeeping and humanitarian armada...' Admiral Pike: Star Trek
See ... @artan42 knows the best marmite is ... marmire spread across the hairy chest of a Malon Captain who has just returned from a sewage mission into the land of @duncanidaho11 's peanut butter and jelly sprinkes.

The land of my peanut butter and jelly sprinkles is overseen by the Barbecue Troll King. With the help of Gralthon the Wizard, he commands a force of stalwart kitten riders who guard the sprinkles well. That Malon is lucky to have escaped.

I read a thread about the lack of missions in the Delta Quadrant? Should we fill up the region with our bad fan fiction ? :O
