About the adventure
The Dominion War is over! The bloodiest conflict in Federation history touched every major power in three quadrants. What will happen in its wake? Starfleet is short on ships and personnel. Member worlds and species have suffered greatly. So have the Federation's allies--who could become enemies again, now the Dominion threat is gone. The Federation is rebuilding. Starfleet wants to put starships back on the edges of the Federation to support our allies, show strength to possible foes, and explore the Frontier. When every conflict ends, however, there are always those who thrived on the chaos and are not ready to give up the freedom and power that chaos provided them. Combining the best elements of tabletop and online roleplaying games this campaign will take place in a campaign-dedicated Discord server using audio and text channels, integrated star-trek-centric dice roller and supplemented between games with player and character discussions, images, files, clues and Easter eggs to help expand the mythology, mystery and adventure! As a team, players will choose their starship. Like the sailors of old Earth, her captain and crew will circumnavigate the entirety of the Federation - and beyond. In a return to the classic Five Year Missions of Starfleet's early years, your crew will help a battered Federation rebuild, expand and explore in the experience of a lifetime...on the Frontier's Edge! This campaign takes place after the Dominion War. Ships and personnel are in short supply. Novice and intermediate player characters will be thrust into new mid-level roles...and the challenge of their lives! 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 back-story exploration, NPC interactions and growing character relationships. 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. 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.

About me
Stories are my passion. I'm a writer, podcaster and voice actor but most of all I am a storyteller who values unique, immersive journeys. My goal is to create a comfortable, safe environment for players/characters to have fun exploring. Each session will be role-play heavy and rules-light, with a collaborative story giving every player a chance to shine. I will create our adventure from scratch to surprise, engage and leave you eager for the next session. If you're just starting out with RPG's or Star Trek Adventures I'll help you create the character, understand the basics and jump right in! I got my first D&D manual when I was nine, but I took a long break. Later I became a professional actor and Improv performer, then a narrator and producer of podcasts and audio-books. A friend re-introduced me to D&D during COVID, which reignited the passion to play. In turn, playing inspired me to run games for others.

Creating your character
Character creation will be done during 'Session 0' using BC Holme's excellent Star Trek Adventures character generator. Mid-career or department heads are preferred for this adventure (the joy of this RPG is that it encourages the creation of 'secondary' characters of other ranks/ages). Feel free to get in touch to discuss other characters you would like to play!
