Written by Josh Millard, ''Larp Trek'' is a CampaignComic with a twist. Whereas most campaign comics feature ostensibly real-world characters playing as the characters of a fictional universe, this comic features ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'' characters playing as ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' characters.

It's Season Three, when the holodeck breaks down completely. Seeking an alternate source of entertainment, Geordi hits upon the idea of trying out this ancient Earth custom called a "role-playing game". The webcomic can be found [[http://larptrek.com/ here]].

-->'''Data''': I will return, as the saying goes, to the ol' visual representation work surface.
-->'''Geordi''': Visu- oh. Drawing board. Seriously you gotta stop intentionally mangling cliches, man. Everybody's pretty tired of it at this point.
-->'''Data''': Well, perhaps everybody should endeavor to create an oral vacuum around my external genitalia.

* ManipulativeBastard: Troi. This is even discussed by the author who believes that the empathic counselor got this way from having to sit on the bridge for 8 hour shifts with little or nothing to do. She encouraged Worf to develop the spy background for his Cardassian tailor character and use it to screw with Riker. A lot of her plots are about screwing with Riker.
