In space, no one can hear you sperg.

We played Artemis Starship Bridge Simulator this weekend and had an amazing time. So it's a not a tabletop game, but it falls square within the realm of Nerdery. Basically, you network together computers and each one fills a role on a starship bridge. It's heavily Star Trek influenced, obviously, and I can't believe no one has thought of it before. We only had the demo, but we recorded our rather disastrous session and will hopefully have it on youtube soon. Watching things like helm accidentally activate warp in the middle of a firefight, engineering misreporting shield strength and our poor, energy depleted ship limping toward a space station as it's assaulted on all sides by bogeys was tremendously entertaining.

Given that it was our first time with the game, it was basically chaos, but it was much fun nonetheless. We hooked the main screen laptop up to the living room TV and I nearly had a geekgasm as it lit up with a view of the starship. The full version is 60 bucks, but you can play 6 people on the thing.You can get the demo that just has helm and weapons to try it out, I highly recommend it.
