I have to admit that I don’t know why it took me so long to use YouTube the way I have over the past few weeks.

In that time I’ve gotten a better (full) understanding of the basic game mechanics of at least 3 4 different RPG systems that I’ve owned for more than a few years, but never sat down to really learn any of them.

  • Star Trek Adventures
  • Dragonbane
  • Savage Worlds Adventure Edition
  • edit: Marvel Multiverse Role-Playing Game

And other video tutorials are enticing me to learn more about still others.

Heck, I may finally learn how to play GURPS.

Stand by!

Q’apla?

That’s hillarious:

I was thinking that one of my miscellaneous characters for Star Trek Adventures Captain’s Log should be a Klingon, so I started looking into acquiring the Klingon Core Rulebook from Modiphius.

Amazon has the deluxe edition for about $50.

Modiphius has it on sale for $60.

DriveThruRPG has it digitally for $20.

I go to the page for the item on DTRPG and:

Yeah, I’m an idiot.

Online Resources

All this time I never used one of the biggest resources for learning that was right under my nose.

YouTube.

Case in point: for years I never could wrap my head around Modiphius’ 2D20 system, even though I’d read it and kinda maybe got the gist of it.

Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition appears to have stripped things down a bit, from what I’ve heard from YOUTUBE videos, and right here is a video that I found that explains the basics of the system better than any other resource I’ve found online.

He also goes into character creation:

While this is great for when/if I finally delve into this system, maaaaaaybe with my gaming group (hint hint nudge nudge), I’ve decided to start looking up some videos explaining how to play the Captain’s Log Solo version of STA.

Wish me luck with this.

Don’t touch that dial!

Like I did with my Sports Gaming Blog, I hope this list will act as a prompt for my other gaming.

Paint miniatures for Cyberpunk Red Combat Zone
Paint miniatures for Star Trek Adventures
Setup Star Trek Adventures Captains Log RPG: TOS Era Captain
Setup new crew for Five Parsecs From Home

That should be plenty for the week,

Stand by!

STA: Captain’s Log Solo RPG

I can’t tell you how excited I am about this product.

Star Trek Adventures: Captain’s Log Solo Roleplaying Game

I miss playing the old FASA Trek system, especially with my gaming group.  Playing games on Saturday nights until well past midnight.  Star Trek RPG was a cornerstone of those game nights.

But the reality is that:

  • we don’t have that kind of free time anymore
  • solo play is the way I’ve been playing a lot of games

I was planning to start a new campaign in Five Parsecs From Home, but I think this is going to take up some of my table top time at home.

Since this game covers any and all eras of Star Trek, I’m going to pull a multiverse trick and recreate my FASA Trek ‘ego’ character, Commodore Christopher Saguisag, into all (not you, Discovery/Picard) of those eras.

First up will be Enterprise-era, since I’m in the middle of putting together a uniform jacket from that series.

Stand by!

Red Alert!

Today I discovered that Modiphius Entertainment has a skirmish-level miniatures rules set for their Star Trek Adventures RPG miniatures.

And they’re free!

I took it as my excuse to finally pick up these sets:

I may pick up Klingons later.
