“Let’s Play! › Klingons, Romulans, and Cardies, Oh My! Let’s Play Birth of the Federation”
There’s a Something Awful Let’s Play of “Birth of the Federation” going on, and it seems to have attracted some pretty funny Trekkies. They’re playing as the Ferengi. And everybody in the thread has quoted a Rule of Acquisition at least once.
