About the adventure
Step aboard the USS Challenger for a fast-paced adventure designed to introduce new players to the excitement of Star Trek Adventures 2e. Explore strange worlds, encounter fascinating alien species, and confront challenges that will test your crew’s courage, ingenuity, and ability to work together. What begins with a distress call ends in a high-stakes, tense test of your characters’ survival and strategy. Whether you’re a dice goblin or have never rolled a d20 before, this adventure will give you everything you need to run or play Star Trek Adventures. -- New to Play-by-Post? No problem! It is a low-stress, highly-rewarding format and I'll help you every step of the way. [Play-by-Post] Do you want to join a campaign but your availability prevents you from committing regularly? Does engaging at your own pace throughout the week without the pressure of the moment and with access to live chats with your Dungeon Master sound appealing? Well you're in the right place! The Play-by-Post (PbP) format is nearly as old as D&D and is a rewarding way to engage in this fantastic pastime. While it is true that the comradery of the kitchen table is lost in PbP, you gain the ability to plan without pressure, to refine your roleplay, to research your actions. And many see Play-by-Post as more immersive than live games, that the Theater-of-the-Mind is more easily engaged without the distractions of half-decent accents, the bell of midnight quickly approaching, and the smell of aging nachos. *Note: This adventure is Play-by-Post and will be conducted throughout the week at your pace. While live check-ins with me are available, the adventure will be conducted in Discord channels where we will also store concept art, maps, a compendium of magic items, a room for chit chat, and more. Please send me a message if you'd like to know more.

About me
I will set the stage for you to tell your character's tale. Storytelling is at the heart of everything I do, from creative writing to teaching literature to myths and legends retellings around the campfire. Good stories are all about tension and release, about stakes. Tabletop Roleplaying Games are another manifestation of that but are unique in one way: we create stories together. We become the heroes we have always dreamed of. I’ve been a professional Gamemaster for over three years and a non-pro GM for far longer. I’ve clocked over 1000 hours of digital GMing (not to mention the years of PbP and in-person) and have introduced over 200 new players to the past-time. I have run and still run campaigns professionally for teenagers on Outschool.com where I have nearly 150 five-star reviews.

Creating your character
We will have a Session 0 where we get to know one another, discuss the "truths" of the campaign, share our character concepts, and build character bonds together. We'll plan to come away from Session 0 with a number of questions to flesh out in order to more deeply flesh out our characters and bonds. I'll follow up on those questions throughout the first week to support you.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a phone, computer, or laptop, of course. You'll also need an account with Discord. Maps will be shared by me. Come with a rough idea of what you want to play but be flexible. If you're a beginner, let me know and we can work on this together!
What GM Grant brings to the table
We'll house all character art, maps, notes, NPC info, etc. in a Discord server I manage. I use Tupperbox to display the various NPCs and give a deeper sense of immersion.

How GM Grant creates a safe table
Each player will have their own, private channel within the server if they need to reach out to me for any reason. I'm also available to talk over video chat upon request. We will have a Session 0 in a Discord server devoted to that. We'll all check off the Monte Cook Checklist before we begin.
