Category:Last Unicorn Games

Last Unicorn Games (LUG) was a wonderful Role Playing game for Star Trek:The Next Generation, with other core rulebooks covering Deep Space Nine and the Original Series. (1998 - 1999.) It was extremely well-written and highly popular, and unfortunately was consumed by a company called Wizards of the Coast in a hostile takeover. Paramount had given a license to Last Unicorn Games, and WoTC had attempted to use this license, but Paramount pulled it when LUG no longer existed as an independant company.

Many Star Trek fans still play this game, using rule books which are still rare but available on Amazon.com and on ebay.com. Miniature starships for tactical game combat are available from a number of companies, including Micromachines and Heroclix. Space Battle Mats are available from Chessex, and a number of other companies.

What is not well known is that this game was originally created by Jose Sanchez, who sold all rights to the people who became Last Unicorn Games. The original game testers role played every Sunday in Joe Sanchez' basement, sworn to secrecy, in the early 90's. The game rights were sold sometime in 1997, and was officially published by LUG in 1998 - 1999.

There are fan authors who still write adventures for this game, available at Memory Icon and other sites.
