Star Trek Adventures: Core Rulebook

This is really awesome. It’s obviously a love of the people who have put the work in to create this. It’s clear that the writers know the subject.. however, I’m old, and my eyes aren’t quite what they used to be. The thematic white text on black with the broken up page layouts is hard to read. I’ll get through it, but future iterations may want to keep this in mind

This sourcebook looks stunning, the LCARS design is just gorgeous. The illustrations are great (however, not all of them are top notch) and it's easy to read, especially because of the white-on-black-printing.

Usability however, is its weak spot: The index is far from perfect (and far from complete) making it hard to find what you're looking for. Also, certain topics are quite often split into two or three parts which are divided among the book's many pages, making it hard to find what you're looking for.

I've been gamemastering three adventures so far and we all really like the rules. They're quite easy to learn and guarantee a nice, fluid gaming experience. Of course, it takes a little time to get used to them if you're used to wildly different systems as I am, but we're getting there. The Momentum/Threat-system especially, which allows players and gamemaster to buy certain effects were new to us.

Overall, this finally filled the Star Trek-void in my heart, which existed there since "Enterprise" ended in 2005 and could not been filled by the Abramsverse-Movies and not by the disappointing "Discovery". We're already calling our campaing our very own Star Trek-series, an alternative to the current Star Trek offerings, finally allowing us to get the real Trek-feeling and a possibilty to experience actual Star Trek-storylines.

So, this is very much an endorsement to buy this game and play it. If you love Star Trek, then this is the perfect roleplaying game for you!

First fantastic artwork and style I love Star Trek LCARS design, as well as the mechanics the book tells me everything I didn't realise I would want to know about the star trek universe for the purposes of GMing a star trek RPG game. Only played a handful of sessions but my players seem quite like the system and keep coming back so they must enjoy it :-).

The only problems I've run into is trying to run ship combat and functions smoothly I've found it really tricky to digest the rules and mechanics around ship systems damage, repair, ship systems etc. thus I pass that on to my players in essence I'm finding the learning curve a bit steep but worth the climb. Also ( and this is by no means a deal breaker especially since I have a PDF copy also) by I'm noticing some wear and tear on the hardbook copy after about 2 months of use on the pages I most frequently use (ship and NPC stats) the adhesive is slowly starting to move out of place from the spine so I'm little bit worried about the longevity of the hardbook cover. But overall feels good to branch out into the Sci-fi genre of table-top RPG settings after running sterotypical D&D fantasy settings for so long and with the beloved franchise of Star Trek no less.

Live long and prosper Modiphius (mostly because I really want more of this kind of content).
