Well, in for a penny. Hey - that's what I'll call the next adventure.

I thought I'd have a bit of fun with old Star Trek RPG notes from an abandoned home campaign for the Modiphius game. I've popped the basics into a neat one-page pod.

Once I'm done with my rewatch of Star Trek TOS - although I know I'm going to struggle with some episodes of Season 3 - I'm going straight into the animated series. I'm sure I've missed some episodes of this so it'll be nice to make sure I'm up to date.

I've been really into my classic TOS Star Trek recently and off the back of this video the Vanguard books were recommended to me.
I've picked up the first one - Harbinger by David Mack - so let's see what's behind this fan film.

I had a spare hour so I knocked up this simple mega rules-light Star Trek TTRPG using my 'Adventure!' RPG mechanics.
It's just a bit of fun.

Took delivery of the Dead Space 3 Limited Edition Guide today - nice book with some great concept art and details, and the Penguin print is cool.
I might pick up the others.

Yep - I think I have a new favourite Star Fleet starship. The Larson is a great design and built for purpose. I really like it.

Yes, and here it is! I've got the Federation Starship Recognition Manual and it's fully detailed.
The FASA stuff was so good, the Four Years War was one of my favourite books.

I'm a massive fan of this ship and it looks great in the video - it's a Larson-class destroyer, and it's a simple single-nacelle vessel that doesn't look like much but its classification sets it up as a fighting ship.

My friends at Infinite Monkey Tales have started a regular episodic game and it runs really well; it's rules-light and suits a casual low-threat game in which the heroes are 99% guaranteed survival so that you can build cool weekly stories.

Far Trek is a decent Star Trek TTRPG set in TOS era, and was designed as a lighter take on the show although it can be played completely straight.
I get the impression that it was developed with the intention of becoming something more, but it really works as a fan game.

'Death's-Head' was the first Strontium Dog story I read. l was so enamoured by this page I spent hours drawing it over and over again. The design, the stance, just the amazing Ezquerra artwork. Copying stuff like this helped me teach myself to draw, along with Russ Nicholson's art.

I adore game in-world details such as posters, ads for products, personal messages and recordings, and the use of branding and brand names. It gives everything a versimilitude that really helps with immersion.
It just needs to *feel* real, and designers do an amazing job of making fake a reality.

Many years ago I tried to design a TTRPG to be played with the Kings of War wargame. This was a simple document that took the wargame rules and expanded them into a RPG, so that you didn't need to buy an entire separate rulebook.
It was featured in the fanzine Ironwatch issue 5 but it faded away.
