About the adventure

Boldly go into Star Trek Adventures with this engaging, cinematic campaign that will make you feel like you're watching an amazing episode of Trek ... starring YOU! "You have been ordered by Starfleet Command to explore one of the last great mysteries of the Beta Quadrant: The SHACKLETON EXPANSE. So little is known about this vast area of space, but there isn't a cadet who hasn't dreamed of penetrating its secrets. Aboard one of Starfleet's most advanced ships, you set out to experience a mission that heralds back to the early days of space exploration: you and your crew, on an extended mission, going boldly where no one has gone before!" BASED ON MODIPHIUS' EXCITING SHACKLETON EXPANSE CAMPAIGN GUIDE, but with Doug's storytelling flair. This campaign has these features: 1. It's episodic. Every three sessions will be a self-contained, unique episode, BUT 2. It's an ARC. The threads of the story will keep you engaged as you unravel a compelling mystery. 3. It's about Old School Star Trekkin'! Experience a variety of missions that focus on exploration, problem solving, diplomacy and decisive action! 4. It Respects Trek. This campaign will be FILLED with Star Trek Easter Eggs, familiar faces, and lore (no, not Data's brother) 5. This campaign is for everyone! Players who are new to roleplaying or Star Trek Adventures or even Star Trek will feel comfortable and seasoned vets will feel like they've come home! Beam aboard and let's see what's out there.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Please connect right away to my Discord: https://discord.gg/zKg6M47VjE My website has starter materials for you to begin the process of character creation. http://trek.yourdm.ca. As soon as possible, you will need to "shotty" a crew position: Second in Command, Security, Ops, Navigation, Communication, Engineer, Doctor, Counselor, Science Officer, etc. Also free on Morphidius site: https://www.modiphius.net/products/star-trek-adventures-quickstart-guide

What I provide

Map Software: I provide a connection to Foundry VTT (or Roll20 if the group prefers). You'll get the link to the maps when you join Discord. I will bring my energy, my sense of humour, my ability to improvise, and my warm and pleasant gameplay style.

Gameplay details

Player enjoyment is the MOST important thing for me. You need to feel safe and comfortable. While Star Trek encourages a positive and collaborative environment, it's VITAL that you feel comfortable. That's why there is an open door policy. If something goes wrong, just drop from the game and meet me on a private channel I provide. We're Starfleet ... everybody should feel welcome!
