Gameplay details

Strange New Worlds is a hack of Apocalypse World/Powered by the Apocalypse inspired by Star Trek and similar fiction. Since Strange New Worlds is Powered by the Apocalypse, it doesn’t handle games where a hyper-competent crew solves issues and everyone follows orders to the letter. It handles Star Trek-ish games where events snowball out of control on a mission, for the crew to come together and solve it by the end.

How will character creation work

Beam Up Your Teenager! Character creation is a collaborative process that will take place during Session 0. We'll work together to bring your unique teenager with their backstory and quirks to life. Consider your character's species, descriptor (their role on the ship), and how they might fit into this ragtag crew. Since Strange New Worlds is Powered by the Apocalypse, it doesn’t handle games where a hyper-competent crew solves issues and everyone follows orders to the letter. It handles Star Trek-ish games where events snowball out of control on a mission, for the crew to come together and solve it by the end. Everyone grabs a playbook, which show the different roles on the ship. From there, the first thing you do is pick a Descriptor. The Descriptors are a brief summation of the character’s personality, background, etc. The Descriptor gives what stats you’ll fill in on your playbook to begin the game. Descriptors are unique among a crew: you can only have one crewmember that is a Warrior, one that is a Hotshot, etc.
