The USS Enterprise-D has just been destroyed over Veridian III, the Federation is still reeling from a disastrous first contact with the Dominion (though we aren’t yet at war), and the USS Voyager has just gone missing in the Badlands and is presumed lost with all hands.

Era of Play: we’ll be going with the game’s default setting, the year 2371 (stardate 48xxx).

Here’s some things to know for character applications: Since this is more a test than anything, I'll be playing the officially-published stuff from the Living Campaign. I’m going to be shooting for a group of 4-5 players, assuming interest is high enough. to boldly go where no one has gone before! Since this is a PbP game, there’s really nothing that says we can’t have multiple scenes happening concurrently. There’s a mechanic for having the player control NPCs directly, but we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it. Modiphius built this game to feel very much like an actual episode of Star Trek, involving use of theatrical scenes in which not every player character is active at once. It might fizzle out, or it might be cool, who knows! My goal is to run one of the officially-published “episodes” as a test, and then see what happens from there. I have no idea if this game will work in a PbP format, but since it’s a roleplay-heavy game, I’d like to give it a shot. The dead trees version is apparently big and beautiful though.

I’d recommend the PDF version over the hard copy, as there were a pretty disappointing number of copy editing issues in the version that first went to print. You can pick up the game for pretty cheap over at DriveThru. It’s heavily narrative-focused, with a Trait/Value system not unlike FATE’s Aspects.

The game is Star Trek Adventures a new Star Trek elfgame put out by Modiphius and is based on their 2d20 system.
