OK, the original third Klingon question doesn't work all that well due to combining appearance and culture. So, I'm splitting it in two:

Third Klingons/thlIngans question, revised; Part 1: Appearance

What sort of Klingons/thlIngans do Psi Trek Klingons (the ones the PCs are likely to encounter, anyway) most look like?

1. Like TOS Klingons (basically humans).

2. Like Prime Directive Klingons (a multiracial empire that may include some of the other options as member or subject races).

3. Like TMP Klingons (big teeth and pronounced, rounded forehead ridges).

4. Like MOV Klingons (Star Trek III, V, and VI, often shallower forehead ridges than TMP and TNG+ Klingons).

5. Like TNG+ Klingons (wide range of forehead ridge types which probably run in families).

6. Like something else (please specify).


Please include the number of your preferred option when you vote.

6) DISCO Klingons.

Just kidding, that roughly works out to bald TNG Klingons anyway.

5) TNG Klingons

I'm partial to 2 (multispecies) for the Empire, 5 (TNG/DS9) for the Klingons themselves.

A mix of 5 and 2. But senior officers are Klingon, in the USSR all Colonels and above were Russian or Ukrainian, not a written policy but that was what existed.

This is my answer as well.

OK, unless I've screwed up the count, the consensus is closest to '2 in general, but the Ruling or First Among Equals Klingon race (what Prime Directive calls 'Ethnic Klingons') look like 5.'

If that's acceptable, I'll call the vote and post part 2 this weekend, which is the question on culture.

Can there be Klingon hipsters who are like this?
