Into the Deep: USS Avandar
Star Trek Adventures - Second Edition, Star Trek Adventures | Campaign
About the adventure
The Dominion War is over! What will happen in its wake? Starfleet is short on ships and personnel... but exploration is the name of the game! Combining the best elements of tabletop and online role-playing, this campaign will take place in audio or video meetings, supplemented between games with player and character discussions, images, files, maps, and clues to expand the mythology, mystery and adventure! Star Trek Adventures is all about character, self-determination, dedication to the values of civilization... and high adventure! This campaign, like the Federation, strives for IDIC: infinite diversity in infinite combinations. All players are encouraged to consider this a safe space to explore, and enrich each others' worlds with their perspectives. I am a Rules Flexible GM, not a Rules As Written GM: in other words I follow the STA Second Edition rules but always put the story and the characters above strict adherence to the rules. I value backstory exploration, NPC interactions and growing character relationships. All levels of gamers and star trek fans are welcome, the only requirement is that you care about growing your skill in a cooperative session. Campaign art provided by Modiphius Entertainment.

Popular (AVAILABLE) roles for a Star Trek campaign: Tactical Officer (weapons specialist) Science Officer Ops/Communcations/Specialist Chief of Security Or ANYTHING else you want to run by me. I'm open to making this game suit all of its players, not the other way around. This campaign takes place after the Dominion War. Ships and personnel are in short supply, meaning novice and intermediate player characters will be growing into new mid-level roles...and beyond!

How to prepare
Players are encouraged to prep a quiet environment and a good microphone (and headphones if preferred). Please create a Discord account prior to Session 0. The Star Trek Second Edition Quickstart guide is a free resource you can download to read up on the RPG. Search for it, it's a great start! Also: think about what you want out of your game/campaign. What kind of stories, emotions, characters? In 'Session 0' we will discuss the basics of role-playing, improvisation, team dynamics and consent issues. Gaming is supposed to be your happy place, so this is your chance to make sure 'Star Trek: Into the Deep' is a good fit for you. Let's all aspire to act like our Starfleet heroes (both in-game and above-table) to ensure an inclusive, positive and fun playing environment AND continuing adventure for us all! See you on board!
What I provide
Join us on our journey 'Into the Deep' for immersive, team-based roleplaying adventure! The most important skills in this game will be improvisation, communication. Pack your imagination, creativity, team spirit and enjoyment of role-playing and beam aboard! Campaign sessions will be held over Discord audio/text channels (free account required). Sessions will ALWAYS have a three hour hard limit.
Gameplay details
Players can expect rules-light, character-based, immersive adventure. Imaginative role-playing and team-building will be rewarded. Session 0 will cover character creation, the campaign setting and gameplay style, explore dice rolling and communication on our campaign server and when/how long breaks should last. Monte Cook's 'Consent in Gaming' is a free PDF that will be consulted.

How will character creation work
The emphasis is on character creation, starship creation and mission parameters. This will be done during a paid 'Session 0' using BC Holme's excellent Star Trek Adventures character generator. Mid-career or department heads are preferred for this adventure ('Star Trek Adventures' also encourages the creation of 'secondary' characters of other ranks/ages. This lets you players get involved in different kinds of scenes, ranks or in different departments).
