The First Star Trek RPG License
Heritage Models thus became a small-press maker, under license, of the early RPGs John Carter, Warlord of Mars (1978), Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier (1978), Knights and Magick (1980), and Swordbearer (1982). They had two books and a whole line of figures for John Carter, Warlord of Mars at the 1978 Origins in Michigan. Additionally, they produced the first official RPG and figure line for Conan the Barbarian and Lord of the Rings. In fact, all those licenses are what more than likely brought the company down.
Thus Heritage Models' was licensed by Paramount Pictures to produce the first official Star Trek RPG and figure line based on Paramount's Star Trek: The Original Series. Influences of the Star Trek: The Animated Series were allowed in the license.

Famous quotes containing the words star and/or license:
“...indeed, star differs from star in glory.”
—Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 15:41.
“It would much conduce to the public benefit, if, instead of discouraging free-thinking, there was erected in the midst of this free country a dianoetic academy, or seminary for free-thinkers, provided with retired chambers, and galleries, and shady walks and groves, where, after seven years spent in silence and meditation, a man might commence a genuine free-thinker, and from that time forward, have license to think what he pleased, and a badge to distinguish him from counterfeits.”
—George Berkeley (1685–1753)
