Modiphius have annouced a new addition to the Star Trek Advtures lineup, and that is the introduction of Lower Decks! This will give you a chance to roleplay a Starfleet officer from a much different style than you might have before. Forget about first contact, it's all about securing second contact!
The following is taken from the press release for the Modiphius schedule for the coming year of 2023.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀• Lower Decks digital crew packs (season 1 available now, seasons 2 and 3 coming later in 2023), including playable main and supporting characters pulled from the series and playable game statistics for the U.S.S. Cerritos. Contributing writers include Star Trek Adventures regular contributors Tilly and Susan Bridges, Michael Dismuke, Chris McCarver, and Aaron M. Pollyea.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀• Lurkers, a Lower Decks-themed digital standalone adventure available now, written by veteran Star Trek novelist and regular Star Trek Adventures contributor Christopher L. Bennett.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀• A forthcoming free digital missions brief pack written by contributing writer Michael Dismuke. This pack includes 10 mission outlines, all including the quirky Lower Decks style of humor you can add to your campaigns.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀• All this leads up to the anticipated release in Q3 2023 of the full-size, 240 page full-color hardcover supplement, the Star Trek: Lower Decks Campaign Guide, packed full of information about bringing the Lower Decks tone and style of humor into your Star Trek Adventures campaigns and adventures, information about life on the lower decks of Starfleet and other polities, new spaceframes, eight new playable alien species, new equipment, and more content than you can shake a gumato at!
For lovers of tabletop gaming, and Star Trek, something with the comedy of Lower Decks could help some players get into such a game more, with missions that do not have as serious of a tone to them. Or perhaps, you are a GM who wants to adapt these stories to a more serious tone. The joy of tabletop roleplay is that there are multiple ways to do the same thing!
Are you looking forward to this installment in the Star Trek Adventures lineup?
This looks like a lot of good fun. Thanks for sharing Three, maybe we can look at a Holodeck run session of this once it fully releases or something like that.

I have been interested in trying to get a Sta game going through Holodeck, it's just finding enough people who are interested and whether we can schedule the time

Well count me in as another interested person in a STA game.

I've never played STA and I never played D&D (only Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay which we played very loosely as teenagers) but I would be interested to know more (might have to search a YouTube vid or two) - Love Lower Decks too.
