First edition FASA RPG box.
Greg K. Poehlein is a writer and RPG game developer who co-created FASA's Star Trek: The Role Playing Game.
Poehlein, Guy W. McLimore, Jr., and David F. Tepool formed Fantasimulations Associates, an independent RPG game developer firm that provided complete game systems for publishers. Jordan Weisman and L. Ross Babcock III of FASA Corporation hired them to produce a Star Trek RPG after four earlier attempts had been rejected. Poehlein, McLimore, and Tepool based their system on Star Trek's core beliefs of peaceful conflict resolution, intelligence and IDIC, and strove to create a product that would appeal to first-time gamers.
