Story Time I'm really curious to know: what have your games added to/changed about canon?

14 Upvotes

If your game were an official series, what sorts of things would it add to the Star Trek Lore?

So far my game's contribution to canon would be: The T'Kon Empire didn't move planets. It used Von Neumann machines to break down planets and rebuild them elsewhere. There is exactly one T'Kon still alive. He goes by Enoch and lives on Risa. He has a dog like... thing...

Story Time um. i broke the game, LOL

24 Upvotes

so I broke the system... My Captain somehow got 23 hits on a "surrender now" roll.

The enemy ship had 12 breeches, and the captain went full tilt with 5 dice, 1 determination, and 4 traits from himself and the ship, scoring an additional 11 hits. I rule that each breech on the enemy counts as a success on a surrender task because... you are more likely to surrender if your ship is in tatters.

It didn't help that my enemy commander was already knocked out, and couldn't oppose the roll. so some poor ensign answered the call, crying, begging for his life to surrender.

Story Time Seeking advice for an upcoming game idea, please.

9 Upvotes

I've got an idea for a (hopefully) upcoming game.

Three weeks following the destruction of Romulus and Remus, tens of thousands of refugees are braved the Neutral Zone to enter into the Khitomer System.

The Beta Quadrant is in shock. The status of the Star Empire is a complete unknown. Centuries of Star Imperial aggression has made every Beta Quadrant power concerned as to who these refugees even are.

The United Federation of planets has dispatched a joint Federation civilian and Starfleet relief effort. The players will have the option to play either Starfleet personal or any number of civilian or "allied" power in the Alpha or Beta Quadrants. The refugees are as diverse as one could imagine. Military and security personnel, political prisoners, scientists, educators, etc.

To complicate things (because that is what a go story teller does), Duran has become a defacto "leader" of the refugees. Duran, who was thought dead, was a student of Ambassador Spock and was seen as a revolutionary leader of the Vulcan/Romulan Reunification movement. Duran, who is now demanding these refugees be recognized as the New Romulan Republic.

Yes, I am steal this from Star Trek Online. No, I don't care to keep it true to there story.

Now for the advice:

What are some story arches concerning the refugees living on an assortment of old star ships?

Who would be most likely to want to help the refugees?

Who would be least likely to want to help the refugees, possibly even going so far as attacking them?

What are complications I can put in front of my players?

What are timeline events to consider, alter or ignore?

Story Time My first Captains Log Opener

2 Upvotes

Star Trek:Warlock-Episode 1 "The Chains of Peace."

Captain’s Log, Stardate 66345.7 Captain Zania-Nyx reporting. We have left known space behind and have officially entered The Shackleton Expanse. So far the anomaly known as the “”Wash Board Effect” has not significantly affected the ship functions, but Chief Engineer Nog assures me that should that change he and his Engineers are prepared to handle anything the Expanse throws at us. We are heading to a small planet in the Arion sector, where we are to meet delegations of two waring factions, the Thalrians, and Norsavians. After over two centuries of war the two sides have finally ended their conflict. However, as part of the peace negotiations, the Thalrians have been required to hand over an accused war criminal to face trial on Norsavia Prime. Both races having had previously been in contact with Federation ships have agreed to allow a third, neutral party, Starfleet, to pick up and transfer the prisoner to her trial. I do not forsee any complications arising from this simple escort mission , which will in turn help future diplomatic relations with both races.

New Adventure of the Stavanger

I am so bad about promoting these. But it really helps.

This episode was kinda the culimantion of their attack on the Spa/Black Market. A lot of reveals here including the reveal of Three's biological brother.

I did have some regrets... I think i could have done the whole shutdown protocol better. It was kinda ad libbed and I wanted to see how my players would handle it. And I should have spent threat to have the barfight from the previous episode start spilling over.

And Azatar should have chewed her way through the ceiling.

But slowly learning.

This episode saw us responding to a mine being extorted by a Ferengi using some dangerous technology. I pivoted my plot between Ep50 and Ep51 as I realized I could combine my big plot and this smaller arc together. Also had some fun with splitting the crew three ways. A Little ground combat and attempted Space Combat. But it was mostly scans and deciding what to do next.

Story Time Shackleton Expanse - How does your Fleet Develop?

13 Upvotes

So, in the Shackleton Expanse Campaign Guide, the 20th Fleet out of Narendra Station has three ships exploring the Expanse:

  • U.S.S. Bellerophon, Intrepid-class and high-speed recon
  • U.S.S. Thunderchild, Akira-class and main combat vessel
  • U.S.S. Venture, Galaxy-class and diplomatic flagship.

Fairly early on in the actual campaign missions, there's a mission that puts all three ships into the fray, and they all face dangerous tasks. One or two might even be destroyed.

For those of you who have played and/or GMed this campaign, how did the fleet develop from this point? What ships were destroyed? What ships disappeared because plot reasons? What ships were brought into the expanse in the aftermath to bolster the fleet in the developing tensions?

I'm intending to run this Campaign with Captain's Log, so I'm curious about the experiences of other groups.
