has announced plans to publish a second edition of the award-winning Star Trek roleplaying game

The publisher maintains a strong licensing relationship with Paramount Consumer Products. This enduring partnership now includes rights to Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Prodigy, allowing Modiphius to extend its game material to encompass these series alongside the broader Star Trek franchise.

The launch of the new core rulebook is scheduled for Gen Con 2024, with a starter set release planned for the fall. The core rulebook aims to deepen player immersion by allowing the creation of original characters and starships, enabling players to weave their own Star Trek narratives. Building upon the foundation set by the first edition, the second edition will refine the game’s rules and is designed to be compatible with supplements and expansions from the first edition.

An innovative aspect of the second edition is its inclusive approach to gameplay, offering players the chance to explore stories beyond the confines of Starfleet. This edition will introduce playable characters from well-known species within the Star Trek universe, such as the Klingons and Romulans, among others. Additionally, the inclusion of Strange New Worlds in the license means that the new edition will feature art themed around the series, expanding the visual and narrative scope of the game.

Jim Johnson, project manager, expressed enthusiasm for the project, highlighting the team’s efforts to refine the game’s award-winning ruleset and broaden the character options available to players, emphasizing diversity and inclusivity beyond the Federation.

Modiphius boasts the most supported licensed Star Trek tabletop RPG, with seven years of continuous development offering fans a comprehensive gaming experience. The release of Captain’s Log, a solo-play version of Star Trek Adventures, in 2023, further cemented the game’s popularity, providing an option for players to engage in storytelling solo.

The supplement features a six-mission campaign that explores events occurring throughout the Federation during the conflict with the Klingons. It is designed to provide players with additional rules that reflect the challenges and emotional toll of wartime, enabling the creation of compelling narratives within the Star Trek universe.

In addition to the roleplaying aspects, The Federation-Klingon War Tactical Campaign includes a procedurally generated campaign overlay. This component allows players to assume the roles of Federation admirals, who are responsible for allocating resources and responding to Klingon threats across the galaxy, thereby adding a strategic layer to the game.

The expansion enriches the Star Trek Adventures universe by introducing six new playable species: Aenar, Arcadian, Ariolo, Betelgeusian, Coridanite, and Megarite. It also offers optional rules, additional character talents, and over 20 war-focused mission briefs that cater to a variety of gameplay styles, including tactical, routine, exploration, and mission scenarios.

Jim Johnson, the project manager for Star Trek Adventures, commented on the release, highlighting the expansion’s potential to broaden the scope of storytelling within the Star Trek universe. He emphasized the tactical campaign overlay as a feature that allows for resource and event management on a grand scale, adding a unique gameplay element that can stand alone or complement the full roleplaying experience.

The Federation-Klingon War Tactical Campaign is currently available for pre-order at Modiphius Entertainment’s website, inviting players to immerse themselves in new narratives and strategies within the expansive Star Trek universe.

“Star Trek: Away Missions,” a tactical, miniature-based board game, allows players to lead Away Teams through various missions. With the introduction of these new expansions, players will now be able to engage with characters and elements from the Original Series.

The new expansions introduce teams led by Captain Kirk and Commander Scotty. Each expansion brings unique gameplay elements to “Star Trek: Away Missions.” The Captain Kirk expansion features characters such as First Officer Spock, Dr. Leonard ‘Bones’ McCoy, and Ensign Pavel Chekov. The Commander Scotty expansion includes Communications Officer Uhura, Lieutenant Sulu, and Lieutenant Leslie.

A key feature of these expansions is the introduction of the “beam away” ability, adding a new layer to the game’s strategy. This update is expected to offer players new ways to interact with the game and enhance their playing experience.

With these expansions, “Star Trek: Away Missions” now offers a total of eight distinct Away Teams, each with its own playstyle and characteristics. These additions are poised to attract both long-time fans of the series and new players to the game.

The expansions are scheduled for release in March, expanding the universe of “Star Trek: Away Missions” and providing more options for player engagement.

Two distinct Star Trek Adventures products set their coordinates for new horizons, while the all-new transmedia IP, Dreams and Machines, made a groundbreaking debut. Fans of the brand are in for a treat with these latest offerings now available for purchase:

Dreams and Machines: Charting a course to Evera Prime, an outpost isolated from Earth and ravaged by a conflict with the mech monstrosities called Wakers, this new IP from Modiphius founder Chris Birch blends adventure and post-apocalyptic survival. With a corrupted AI known as the Builder lurking in the shadows, players face bio-engineered creatures, hunt for lost technologies, and clash with remnants of the past in an engrossing narrative. The starter set promises an effortless entry into this universe, employing an updated 2d20 system and a plethora of gaming accessories to enhance the experience.

Star Trek Adventures: Lower Decks Campaign Guide: Delving into the lesser-explored sections of the Starship, this guide adds layers to the Star Trek Adventures RPG. It captures the fun, quirky essence of Star Trek: Lower Decks, providing players with tools to craft stories centered around junior officers. New playable species, advanced tech, and detailed guides on constructing one’s creatures make it an invaluable asset for fans.

Star Trek Adventures: Captain’s Log Solo Roleplaying Game: Perfect for Trekkies, this solo role-playing game lets players pen down their captain’s log as they explore the universe. Offering unique gameplay mechanics with a streamlined version of the award-winning Star Trek Adventures rules, the Captain’s Log caters to solo adventurers and groups alike. It provides extensive options for character and ship creations, ensuring every voyage is truly one-of-a-kind.

This year’s Gen Con has reinforced Modiphius Entertainment’s position as a creative powerhouse in the world of tabletop gaming. The blend of classic, beloved universes and original, innovative IPs promises hours of immersive storytelling and challenges for players around the world. Beam us up, Modiphius!

The unexpected change was influenced by a recent episode of Strange New Worlds that crossed over with Lower Decks. While Modiphius doesn’t hold the license to Strange New Worlds, it does have the rights to Lower Decks. Considering the significant impact and ongoing discussions around the episode, the company seized the moment to bring forward the release of the book.

“We thought we’d release the book to the world a week early,” stated the company on its official website. “Because we love all Star Trek, and we love all our fans, past, present, and future.”

The Lower Decks Campaign Guide is a 240-page comprehensive guide packed with new playable species, new spaceframes, new NPCs, and a wealth of lore about the lower decks officer experience. It caters not only to Starfleet games but also to games based in any other polity within the Star Trek universe. The guide also offers valuable gamemaster guidance on structuring and running episodes similar to the Lower Decks’ tone of humor, though it humorously warns that it can’t teach you how to be funny.

This early release comes just before another major Modiphius offering — the Captain’s Log — which is due to launch next week. While the company joked about the idea of having two major Star Trek Adventures releases hitting at the same time, it ultimately decided against it.

Now available in both print and digital formats, fans are encouraged to grab a copy of the Lower Decks Campaign Guide to further their adventures in the Star Trek universe. Orders can be placed on the official Modiphius webstore or on DriveThruRPG.

In addition to the new campaign guide, players can also purchase the Star Trek Adventures RPG core rulebook or the starter set to dive into the final frontier of gaming.

This immersive, 326-page full-color standalone digest-sized rulebook employs the award-winning 2d20 System®, used in the Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game, to create a streamlined gaming experience. This new game allows players to build their own Star Trek adventures around dynamic captain characters they design themselves.

Pre-orders for the new Star Trek game are currently available on www.modiphius.net and www.modiphius.us. Those who pre-order will receive a digital PDF copy instantly, with print editions set to ship to stores by August 2023.

In the Captain’s Log Solo Roleplaying Game, players are in the driver’s seat, controlling their ship and crew as they take on galaxy-spanning missions. For the first time in the Star Trek roleplaying universe, fans can write and record their own captain’s logs, bringing their adventures to life in a new and exciting way.

The game offers players a unique opportunity to create or randomly generate missions without the need for a gamemaster. It provides a platform to plan their crew’s actions, and watch as success or failure shapes the storyline, leading to unexpected twists and turns. In this journey of exploration, players will visit strange new worlds and discover new life and civilizations.

In addition to solo play, the game also accommodates cooperative play. Friends can participate as senior staff members, or a gamemaster can facilitate their adventures into the final frontier. For existing Star Trek Adventures gamemasters, the random story tables within Captain’s Log provide an inexhaustible source of material to generate countless hours of memorable adventures.

Players are free to venture through any era of the Star Trek universe, from the 21st to the 32nd century. To further enhance the immersion, the game offers a selection of unique cover designs showcasing the combadges from each series — Original Series, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Discovery.

The adventure is the brainchild of Michael Dismuke, a Star Trek Adventures contributor, who drew inspiration from the concept of sub-quantum teleportation as seen in the Enterprise episode “Daedalus.” He envisioned a future where brilliant scientists and engineers were exploring all the possibilities with matter/energy transformation, leading to the development of a sub-quantum transporter that could theoretically beam an object or person any distance, through layers of subspace.

The adventure also pays tribute to the importance of social conflicts in RPGs. Dismuke wanted to embed the potential for social conflict all over “Eight Layers Deep,” presenting players with ethical dilemmas, bending the rules to save lives, pulling rank to follow orders, and challenging the Prime Directive to save a world. The adventure creates a stage where people might face off to argue their side of an issue, with the aim of creating a memorable gaming experience.

“Eight Layers Deep” promises to be a unique and exciting adventure that explores the uncharted territory of quantum reality.
