Character Creation Challenge 2024
There have been Star Trek RPGs about as long as there have been any licensed RPGs, but Star Trek Adventures in particular sets out to emulate the series rather than play-in-the-world simulation. It runs on a pretty simple system with several ways to boost results in the PCs’ favour, and the starting PCs are competent enough that publishers Modiphius have released rosters of various series PCs at starting level. it has other touches like bringing in supporting characters and encouraging reusing them.
The core rules have been slightly revised in a digest book and a Klingon-specific rulebook, but I’ve played from the first book so here we go.
It gives options to select or roll at every step, which I may use later. For now, selecting to recreate my first character.
Federation starship with a catchy name, senior staff of PCs, post-TNG era.
Star Trek: Horizon
A newly commissioned Manticore-class starship (Stargazer update, give it a new model) with a mission of scientific exploration and diplomatic outreach.
22f:
Captain Diana Carter
U.S.S. Horizon
Captain Carter is the daughter of a Starfleet senior designer at Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards on Mars so she grew up around starships, seeing how they come together and how it takes a crew to make them fly. Young for command, even of a relatively small ship, but she’s had to prove herself time and again.
“When you tell me something’s impossible, just remember that I’m from Mars.”
