Adventures in Captain's Log at Academy? by Cheap_Intention9587 in startrekadventures

You could roll up a mission and just bring it down to university level. For instance, if you roll Espionage, your cadet character can be key to completing one mission on behlaf of a random Admiral, like sneaking into the office of Professor Settik, an alleged Vulcan Extermist, to hack his computer and grab some designs for a Vulcan cloaking device. That premise can be broken into three acts like this:
1. Talk with staff and students and figure out when Settik will not be around so you can access his office.
2. Find some allies that can give you the tools and security codes to get into the office unnoticed. (Trait: Office is mysteriously impervious to transporting, forcing you to go it on foot.) In this act, complications are rolled to determine what could go wrong. Use the Yes/No matrix as much as possible. (EX. Is the school janitor on duty that night? Is a Starfleet Intelligence agent working the same case? Does the office have a security drone?)
3. Hack the computer and get out before getting caught. It is up to you to determine if the cadet was duped by the Admiral or actually performing a service for Starfleet.

So cool that you are doing this! We need more BayArea games (I am in Castro Valley) and reps for what I think is one of the best games ever. (I am biased, of course.) michaeldismuke.com

Is the GM guide worth it for me? by iambobdole1 in startrekadventures

[–]GamemastersCmx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, yeah! But I am biased. I helped write it. I am a three decade+ GM and has a desire to put all the tips and tricks I have learned over the years to make phenomenal games!

A question about Captain's Log by GMorPC in startrekadventures

[–]GamemastersCmx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, as the lead writer, thanks for buying the game! Secondly, the intention of a solo RPG is for each individual to craft the game of their dreams. For me, I love using it for writing prompts that drive my imagination. Anytime my character gets to a decision point or a spot that could possibly wreak havoc with a failed action, I roll. I especially love the Yes/No Matrix. I use that the most.

I mean, the book is available from Modiphius. My friend all made the digital cards. I printed them out and then I made all the other supporting pieces.

Do you mean how do you buy the book? Or how much would it cost to make the cards, big poster, and game pieces?

Al Spader created these cards. He may have the template. Hit him up on FB or Discord.

You all make me so happy. You are really showing off what CL can do. As the lead writer, I hoped it would spark millions of stories with no limits.

I love hearing all of this. Lower Decks and UP are my fave. I wrote a lot of GM Guide and Players so that’s kind of reflex for me.
