ā RP FOCUS Lower Decks: TOS Edition (š³ļøāš Friendly)
Star Trek Adventures - Second Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
šŖ Join Starfleet as a Lower Decker šŖ š Serve in the 60s-Futurism of the TOS Era š š Embark on Absurd and Wacky Adventures with your Fellow Crewmates š The year is 2269. The replicator food? Cubic. The tribbles? Fluffy. The transatlantic dashing demigods? Truly fantastic and demure. You are a Lower Decker in this era! That means jury-rigging galore, communal sonic showers, and that ONE bridge officer you definitely know for a FACT is out to get you. As a member of the crew, you will be doing everything from emptying the holodeck waste collection to aiding Second Contact! Carry out your orders, grab a synthale with your friends, and enjoy your gallivant through the stars! Make a good impression on your commanding officer... This is Star Trek, but with a funnier twist. Plot hooks and NPC interactions will be comedic, but also offer room later down the line for more solemn story beats. Thumbnail art by Paolo Puggioni. I am a Rules Flexible GM, not a Rules As Written GM, so please be aware of this when you sign up! Like all my games, this adventure will be RP rich! I love backstory exploration, NPC interaction, and cultivating character relationships.

Gameplay details
āØ This is a silly sci-fi adventure where you all play as underlings on a starship, getting into all sorts of silly scenarios. In addition to more less-serious and casual gameplay, there will also be a lot of referential humor to various Star Trek shows and movies - if you are new, I have no problem explaining references! Aside from the comedic tone, the political intrigue, social problem-solving, exploration, and all the usual Star Trek narrative staples will still be present. āØ Once you've entered the Discord, I'll send you a Lines-and-Veils adjacent form for you to let me know what will best make your experience comfy. āØ If at any time during session something doesn't feel right, please send me a direct message and we can call a break. āØ After session, please use the Stars and Wishes channel to indicate what you liked about the sessions and what you wish to see next so I can keep the game on course to be a great adventure!

How will character creation work
āØ We'll do character creation over Direct Messages either here or on Discord. Even if you're joining a few hours before, I'm happy to get you set up with a character by session time. Newer player? No problem! I'll walk you through the process! āØ In addition to your main character, I need you to create a Red Shirt character (someone who may be vaporized, so maybe make a few!) and a Senior Officer character as Supporting Characters. Please message me about Senior Officers before locking in a choice. āØ When the characters are complete, please send me the TWO PAGE VERSION of the PDF! āØ BCHolmes generated characters are preferred!
