![]() Interestingly, this is not a Kickstarter. There will be starship combat rules, which will be fairly simple. Pregenerated characters will also be available, including the Enterprise crews. So, what's up first? The initial offerings will focus on Starfleet characters (both human and alien) other races, including Klingons, will come later. You can check out free examples of those if you want to see what the 2d20 System looks like - just click on those links right there and grab 'em from DTRPG.Īlso accompanying the game will be a line of resin and metal 32- mm miniatures which feature Trek characters and crews, and a range of geomorphic tiles featuring different locations - they give examples of "burning Federation ships, mysterious colonies and embattled Klingon cruisers". The 2d20 System was designed by Star Wars: Edge of the Empire's Jay Little, and powers Modiphius' current line of games - (Mutant Chronicles, Infinity, Conan, John Carter of Mars). The game itself can be pre-ordered in the Spring, and will be released in the Summer of 2017. The actual playtest takes the form of a "living campaign" and launches in the Fall. Other signups are available at Essen-Spiel or Dragonmeet later in the year. They also get a bonus free Kirk or Picard miniature. Playtesters will be assigned a vessel, although those at Gen Con get to choose. A public playtest is coming you can register for that at Gen Con at the Modiphius booth. Modiphius announced today at 17:01 UK time (geddit?). in 2002 - so it's been 14 years since the last one! There are others, too - Prime Directive in 1993, a Japanese game called Enterprise: Role Play in 1983, and plenty of board games, tabletop war games, and more.Īlso see my interview about Star Trek Adventures with Modiphius Chris Birch here. The last official Trek RPG was the Star Trek Roleplaying Game from Decipher, Inc. Last Unicorn Games produced three RPGs - Star Trek The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and The Original Series, all in 1998-1999. It was followed in 1982 by Starfleet Voyages from Terra Games Company, and then FASA's popular version in the same year. The first was in 1978, from Heritage Models, and was called Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier. There have been a few Star Trek RPGs over the decades. The game is based on the "Prime" universe, and covers Star Trek: The Original Series, The Next Generation, Deep Space 9, Voyager, Enterprise, and the TOS and TNG movies - everything except the recent JJ Abrams reboot universe. Modiphius Entertainment (Achtung! Cthulhu, Mutant Chronicles, Conan) will be using their own 2d20 game system to power Star Trek Adventures, due for release in summer 2017. ![]() There's a new Star Trek roleplaying game in town! The last official Trek game was published in the first half of the 2000s it's been years since, and there are certainly fans hungry for a new iteration. ![]()
