#startrekadventures — Public Fediverse posts

I haven't forgotten my #StarFrontiers conversions for #StarTrekAdventures , I promise. I've gotten sidetracked by the upcoming #Fallout game (Sunday!) and some entertaining discussions elsenet about other games. I know I'm procrastinating, because I always do, and I apologize.

I've slacked for a few days on #TTRPG reading and my #StarFrontiers conversions for #StarTrekAdventures because my brain has hit overload with all the crap going on and all I want to do is veg out and play games. Sorry.

Alternately, for the Species Ability, I could adapt their "Lie Detection" skill and give them a boost on checks to determine falsehoods and deception, making the limbs just part of the morphic ability of the Species Trait. Now that I think about it, that's probably a better way to go. Mechanically: first extra d20 bought with Momentum on Insight checks to determine deception is free?

Names are going to be an issue. I'm going to need to scour old #StarFrontiers products for examples. It'll be fun to read the old material again, of course.

Sample Values will relate to their love of philosophy and debate, their mindfulness, and their genial relations with other species.

Attributes? I'm thinking bonuses to Fitness, Insight and Reason.

Adapting the #Dralasites should be fairly simple. Their Species Trait would apply in cases of strength and stability, due to their morphic adaptability, but work against them in terms of speed. It would represent their education in philosophy, and I'm trying to find a way to work in their love of old and bad humor.

The Dral Species Ability is obviously their ability to grow pseudopods as they need. Representing that mechanically will take me some thinking.

The poll has ended. Sadly it only got a few responses, but in the end, the winner was... everybody's favorite bad-joke-loving amoeboids, the Dralasites! I might as well go in alphabetical order, with the Vrusk next and then the Yazirians

@HeyeBodo I am in the initial stages of a project to convert material from the old #StarFrontiers and #Alternity TTRPGs into #StarTrekAdventures 2e. I'll be beginning with the SF aliens (Dralasites, Vrusk and Yazirians).

Okay, plan of action: Study the species writeups in #StarTrekAdventures some more, and then attempt to write conversions, starting with the #StarFrontiers aliens. A question for you: who would you like to see me convert first? The guinea pigs, so to speak? #TTRPG #StarTrek

I have a project idea, tying into that #StarTrekAdventures game I was asked to run.

I want to do species writeups for the #StarFrontiers and #Alternity aliens (some of you may also remember them collectively grouped together in #d20Future ) in STA. That includes the Sathar!

@Tim_Eagon I think you can pick up pretty much anything from #Modiphius and you'll have a vast collection of adventures to pick from:
#AchtungCthulhu #StarTrekAdventures #ConanRPG #FalloutRPG and more.

#Cubicle7 has plenty for #WHFRP and #Chaosium has you covered for #Runequest.

I think #NightsBlackAgents has quite a lot too.

My last campaign has come to a close. Star Trek: Weird Original Planets, a twelve session, 11 episode TOS era Strange New Worlds inspired episodic Star Trek Adventures game, finishing on an explosive two parter where the USS Metcalf ventured through a wormhole into the mirror universe.

It's going to be weird not running a regular game. I've got one more session of the now long-overrun Orbital Blues oneshot I was running with the group I play with on Wednesdays, and then I'm going to be just a player again!
