When I first started playing, I had never played a TTRPG before. Alex made it easy to learn the rules, understand the world, and explore within one of my favorite fictional universes. As time has gone on, our Star Trek world has continued to expand, and one of my favorite things has been how Alex has allowed our creativity to lead. We have a relatively cautious table, and he has encouraged us to play to our characters personalities rather than our stat sheets. This has led to us coming up with some quite odd and interesting ideas that have made the game incredibly fun and rewarding. Playing as NPCs when we are not in a scene have also allowed for us to explore different aspects of the story that we may not have. But, perhaps my favorite thing that Alex does is ensure that the table is collaborative. There have been a number of times where we have finished a mission, and Alex has told us that this mission did not unfold the way he had planned it out, because we decided to do something completely outside the box from what he thought we would do. He leans into "yes-and"ing our ideas in a way that makes it feel like we are a part of telling the story together and that our characters' decisions and their agency matters. I would highly recommend playing with Alex, as I've had a ton of fun so far, and I look forward to continuing to play with him and our eclectic crew as we explore the Shackleton Expanse!
