How to use the plot elements of Star Trek: TNG's 11001001 in a TTRPG
This is an ep with several things you could use in plots, but the actual story in this ep isn't directly usable. It's got decent writing for Picard and Riker, but the rest of the cast kinda get left out of most of the episode.
It's a holodeck story where the holodeck goes "wrong" in a way that we rarely see. What is Minuet? Why is Minuet so... aware? She not only starts out knowing she's a holodeck program, but actually tells Picard she rewrote her code on the fly to add the ability to speak French. hmm......
The Bynar computer tinkering is an interesting plot element too. It's mostly optimizing how the system works, not about actually changing hardware. Which is a fun twist to the tech side of the story.
If you wanna look at the other Star Trek Stuff I've made vids about here's the list: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLY5hPGi2f0ftLMJaBIthcJ5cNNTQkorbr
