ACTD: USS Broadsword - A Trek RPG Group

Date 2007/2/24 22:40:00 | Topic: YAXS

The current form of Star Trek: A Call to Duty (ACTD) has evolved greatly since its original inception in 1995. Once a fledgling organization on a private online network known as vTrek, the only online role-playing game ever endorsed by Paramount Digital Entertainment is a large and diverse group with some 40 Vessels all spanning 3 styles of play ranging from real time Chat, PBeM and Newsgroup play.

ACTD now boasts over 300 members and ships in all three of the major gameplay styles, wrapped into an immersive game that many players (including players that are members in other online Trek RPGs) hail as The Best On The Net.

More information about the RPG can be found at the A Call to Duty website (separate site from this YAXs announcement)

Original ImageThe USS Broadsword is one such ship in the RPG multiverse of ACTD and it's the only such ship/website that Proudly Boasts the XOOPS moniker!
Although an extensive amount of work still needs to be done (Such as credits, and other modules) to the site since my 1 and half year absence, it's recieved a small facelift and a major upgrade from Xoops 2.0.10 > 2.0.16 with the latest News module and CBB modules updated as well.

The language files have all been "trekified", with custom 404's integrated into the site and other nefarious goodies. It's a re-work in progress after the massive core updates that got neglected.

Wordpress has been installed and has yet to be customised for the site, but this will be the driving module for the site since I have since switched most of my sites over to Wordpress and I am quite familiar with the code. This will certainly open the doors for the group of 10 or so people that make use the site with WP's extensive list of plug-ins.

The path to Web 2.0 will be a long one, but the rewards should be well worth the effort!

So without furthur adeu, I would like to share my little corner of the XOOPS world.


USS Broadsword
