Modiphius Entertainment released Mission Briefs for the Star Trek Adventures RPG. These are a series of ten to twelve expertly-tailored adventure outlines. Even better, they give these packets away for free. Seriously, they’re giving whole seasons of adventures for a campaign away for free!
I was extremely excited when they released Michael Dismuke’s Lower Decks collection of Mission Briefs. I’d previously tried pitching ideas for Star Trek modules to Modiphius, but I have a sense I was adding comedic elements to my plots… and the man in charge of the line, Jim Johnson, reminds us that humor is subjective.
However, Michael wrote ten snappy comedic episodes, which fit my style of running. I’ve run a monthly Star Trek Adventures game for almost seven years now, and I like to balance the serious galaxy-changing plotlines with lighthearted stories. I think the writers of the series do the same.
Michael created an adventure where… from an alternate universe… tribbles are beamed onto the ship. These aren’t just any tribbles. They have been assimilated by the Borg. When my players realized what they were up against, they immediately panicked. This was the worst thing they could even imagine encountering.
