The 23rd century serves as the foundation of the entire Star Trek universe. It’s the era in which many of the franchise’s most iconic characters, ships, and locations are introduced, the franchise’s themes are introduced and developed, and is the period of time when many key events take place. Modiphius Entertainment is extraordinarily proud to celebrate nearly 60 years of Star Trek and announce the next sourcebook for the Star Trek™ Adventures second edition roleplaying game: The 23rd Century Campaign Guide!
The 23rd Century Campaign Guide provides new rules and guidance on the entire 23rd century for you to use in your own Star Trek Adventures missions or campaign, from the growing pains of the nascent Federation in the century’s early decades to the rising cold war with the Klingon Empire that sparked a brutal war in 2256–2257. Then, onward into the bold “five-year missions” period and the volatile latter third of the century.
How does your crew fit into this iconic era and what trailblazing stories of their own will they tell?
To help you get excited, check out the book’s table of contents:
This 128-page, full color hardcover sourcebook provides you with a wealth of detail about the entire century and provides information for gamemasters and players to effectively plan and run adventures and campaigns that fit the tones and themes of this era, and to create and develop characters whose stories and adventures will stand alongside those of Archer, Burnham, Pike, Kirk, Spock, and so many others.
The contents of this guide can be used with any edition of Star Trek Adventures as well as Captain’s Log. Enhance the stories you tell with your friends or by yourself with the information in this guide about this dynamic century.
In the coming weeks, you can look forward to new blog posts discussing all the game mechanics, advice, and setting lore that can be found in The 23rd Century Campaign Guide.
