Join Starfleet๐ | Explore the Shackleton Expanse
Star Trek Adventures - Second Edition | Campaign
About the adventure
Join the crew of a starship on the final frontier for its continuing mission. This campaign will explore the Shackleton Expanse, an new territory on the edges of Federation space. The adventure will begin with a 12 mission "season" of adventures. It will include both published adventures and stories of our own design entirely! I use a wealth of immersive play aids to teach the game and make the hardest reals feel easy. You can see those here: https://imgur.com/a/OrBlhCX ๐ ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ a starship on the final frontier. ๐ ๏ธ ๐๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง๐๐๐ซ solutions that push the possibilities of known physics. ๐งช ๐๐๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ก cutting edge discoveries that make the galaxy better. ๐ก๏ธ ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ซ๐ peace and prosperity for the United Federation of Planets And of course, ๐๐จ ๐๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ฅ๐ฒ where no one has gone before. Each adventure in this ongoing series will last 1 to 2 sessions and present a new challenge, ethical dilemma, or mystery! After every 12 missions, we will check in with the crew and decide what changes to make for the next set of adventures, much like seasons of a TV show.

This was my first time playing with Alex and my first time playing Mothership. He had a lovely manner and created a game full of atmosphere, not only with his GMing, including descriptions of what's going on and gentle hints to help us when we seemed stuck, but also a masterful use of the VTT and audio clips. I'll be telling other GMs how he did things. I'm looking forward to future games with him.

Alex was great! I really like his teaching by playing method. We learned the system as we went and it made for a really great session, where we got to play a full session while learning the system. He was very creative and I liked that he would roll with our ideas and was willing to change and adapt to our choices seamlessly.

I had an absolute blast playing Star Trek with Alex! He made it feel like a genuine episode all while walking us through how to play. It was a really good authentic time. Alex was great at running with just about everything we wanted to do as a crew.

Alex is a fantastic teacher for learn to play who is patient without slowing down game play. He also ensures each player has their moment to shine at the table.

Alex does a fantastic job drawing out each player's creative problem solving ability, and really plays on the strengths and motivations of your character. This allows everyone at the table to uniquely contribute in a meaningful way to the collaborative storytelling.

I had an absolute blast playing Star Trek Adventures 2e with Alex as my GM. He kept things moving, and kept everyone involved as well. His knowledge of the rules and the setting made the one-shot session I was in very enjoyable. I encourage anybody wanting to get a taste of the game in the hands of a skilled GM to sign up for one of Alex's sessions; you won't be sorry.
