Enjoying Picard on Amazon? This blogger is! While also thankful it’s not gone to the other not-available-in-the-UK streaming platforms that have swallowed the other Star Trek shows.
Still, there’s always the tabletop RPG from Modiphius in the shape of Star Trek Adventures.
The game is well supported with dozens of supplements. The BRIEFS series has been entirely free to download, and the latest, all about starbases is out.
Here’s how Modiphius describes the 16-page offering;
As beings explore the Galaxy, they often build or create waypoints in the form of a starbase, space station, planetary outpost, or the like. These waypoints often act as gathering places for a wider variety of interstellar traveller, and are often magnets for adventure and intrigue. Starfleet officers and other explorers and travellers encounter a wide variety of situations – be they hazardous or benign – while stationed at, or visiting, these types of waypoints.
This packet presents ten detailed mission briefs oriented around a variety of starbase encounters, each of which you can modify for use in your Star Trek Adventures campaigns set during The Next Generation (approximately 2360-2379) or any other era of play with minor modifications. Each mission brief is designed to stand alone, though they could be strung together into a story arc or added to an existing campaign.
The starbase freebie joins others about anomalies and disasters. This fifth BRIEFS set was written by Tony Pi and illustrated by Roxanne Thompson.
