Modiphius to Launch a Solo Edition of Star Trek Adventures

Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. has announced a new Star Trek roleplaying game, launching the brand into the solo roleplaying game frontier, with the Captain’s Log Solo Roleplaying Game. This 326-page full-color standalone digest-sized rulebook provides a complete, streamlined version of the award-winning 2d20 System used for the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game to build out your own Star Trek stories with a dynamic captain that you create.

Prospective Starfleet captains can pre-order copies now from www.modiphius.net or www.modiphius.us and receive a digital PDF copy right away, with print editions expected to ship to stores in August 2023.

Write your own captain’s log as you, your ship, and your crew venture into the cosmos alone, conducting Galaxy-spanning missions and recording your progress. The solo roleplaying game uses the award-winning rules of Star Trek Adventures to give a unique gameplay style, letting Star Trek fans record their own captain’s logs for the first time!
 
Players can create or randomly generate their missions without a gamemaster, decide on the actions their crew will take to complete it, and a vibrant story will emerge as success or failure provides unexpected twists and turns while exploring strange new worlds and discovering new life and civilizations. The game also allows captains to play cooperatively with friends as their senior staff, or explore the final frontier with a gamemaster facilitating their adventures. Star Trek Adventures gamemasters can also use the random story tables contained in Captain’s Log to generate countless hours of memorable adventures in the Star Trek universe.

Play in any era of Star Trek, from the 21st to the 32nd century, by choosing from a selection of unique cover designs featuring the combadges from each series.

Modiphius Releases a Star Trek Adventures tie-in for IDW Publishing’s Star Trek: Year Five

Modiphius has announced the release of the Star Trek Adventures IDW Year Five Tie-in supplement, a Star Trek Adventures crossover with the fantastic comic series Star Trek: Year Five published by IDW Publishing. The comic series wraps up its run today. Star Trek Adventures IDW Year Five Tie-in is available in PDF only on Modiphius.net, Modiphius.US, and DriveThru RPG.

STAR TREK ADVENTURES IDW YEAR FIVE TIE-IN

This 26-page digital supplement features content drawn from the pages of IDW’s imaginative Year Five comic book series, adapted for use with Star Trek Adventures, and ready to be added to your ongoing missions and campaigns.

You don’t need to have read the comic book series to use this new supplement in your Star Trek Adventures games. The Year Five series showcases many of the central tenets of Star Trek storytelling: diversity, exploration of the human condition, and relevant social commentary. If your game leans on any of those themes, then you should be able to find something useful in this supplement.

The IDW Year Five Tie-In supplement includes:

  • Details on two new factions
  • Three new player character lifepath options (including the Tholians and I’Qosa)
  • Twelve non-player characters (including Harry Mudd and Gary Seven)
  • Five starships to use as allies or adversaries

Star Trek: Year Five goes beyond the canon established in the Star Trek television series and films to tell the story of the final year of the U.S.S. Enterprise’s five-year mission under the command of Captain James T. Kirk. All the classic characters are in a state of transition. They know the end of an era is approaching and are making plans for what they’ll do after the conclusion of the mission. The series features imaginative new elements as well as putting new spins on some classic species and characters.

To ensure you can start playing in the new campaign setting right away, anyone pre-ordering the Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide will receive a PDF version immediately. Retailers can request PDF codes for pre-order customers from support@modiphius.com.

The Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide is the first campaign setting book for the Star Trek Adventures product line and includes setting material to make the Shackleton Expanse your own, as well as an epic 10-part campaign that begins in the original series era and continues into The Next Generation era (and can be adapted for use in any era of play).

Originally developed for the launch of the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game, the Shackleton Expanse plot was conceived by Modiphius founder Chris Birch and New York Times best-selling author Dayton Ward for use in a living campaign played by over 10,000 groups across the world over the course of two years. 

Star Trek Adventures’ project manager Jim Johnson and his team of writers (which includes Dayton Ward, Scott Pearson, Derek Tyler Attico, Kelli Fitzpatrick, and more) have since massively expanded on the first adventures — creating a vast campaign setting that provides plenty of opportunities for both Klingon and Starfleet crews to explore strange new worlds. Whether you’re playing with the Starfleet- or Klingon-focused core rulebooks, there’s plenty of exploration and adventure to go around. Graphic designer Tobias Richter built a custom CGI model of Narendra Station, which features prominently on the cover of the book as well as in several interior illustrations.

The Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide provides an incredible new region for your Star Trek adventures. Countless wonders and mysteries await within, including strange spatial phenomena that confuse sentient life-forms as well as starship sensors, ancient alien technologies powerful enough to move or obliterate entire star systems, dangerous new species to encounter, and so much more.

The Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide contains:

  • A detailed sandbox setting centered on the Shackleton Expanse and the only jointly-run Federation-Klingon starbase, Starbase 364, also known as Narendra Station
  • Five new playable species, including the Orions and four species unique to the Shackleton Expanse
  • An epic 10-part campaign spanning the original series and The Next Generation eras, featuring the mysterious Tilikaal
  • Guidance on how to create your own stories set in the Shackleton Expanse and beyond, across a century or more of the Star Trek timeline
  • A large selection of NPCs found in and near the Expanse, including the command staff of Narendra Station and many new life-forms
  • Starship statistics for four “hero” vessels (original series era U.S.S. Lexington and The Next Generation era U.S.S. BellerophonU.S.S. Thunderchild, and U.S.S. Venture) as well as NPC spacecraft from a variety of alien species, both new and familiar
  • Historical excerpts, personal logs, and intercepted communications, providing fresh perspectives on events related to the Shackleton Expanse
  • Multiple paths of entry – all content in this book is usable with any Star Trek Adventures ruleset (Starfleet-oriented core, The Klingon Empire core, or the forthcoming Tricorder Collector’s Edition Set rules digest) 

Also, as a partner for this year’s Free RPG Day, taking place online and in select local gaming stores, Modiphius will be giving out print copies of the Star Trek Adventures quickstart, which contains all the rules to get players and gamemasters started, along with a quick one-shot adventure.
