Donald writes, “This document represents the journal of a series of solo and group sessions played using the Star Trek Adventures (STA) roleplaying game rules and supplements published by Modiphius Entertainment.

“I am running a campaign in the Modiphius Shackleton Expanse supplement, tracing the progress of a Picard-era Odyssey-class starship and crew from post-refit launch from Earth through their exploration mission in the Expanse. The campaign is therefore planned as a combination of existing mission briefs, adventures and supplements, all placed in a loose but logical order to establish and maintain continuity. I do play sessions in a group (live or online) when I can (the missions are treated largely as “one-shots” when played with a group), but the majority of missions in this journal are solo, using Modiphius’ Captain’s Log solo play rules when necessary, but often just “winging it” with the core STA 2e rules.

“If anyone cares to know more about me personally, I am 60 years old, having been an unabashed and avowed Trek nerd for at least 52 of those years. I have been playing and game-mastering RPGs most of my life, starting with the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons. I am a professional non-profit fundraiser, currently working for an organization providing programs and services to those living with mental illness. I am also an amateur (community theatre) actor and director with more than 120 productions to my credit. My favorite Trek series is TOS, but I have to say that SNW is a very close second. Fave character is Captain Liam Shaw from Picard. (I had a photo op with Todd Stashwick at a con last year, and he’s a very cool dude.)
I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoyed creating and playing it. Thank you for taking the time.”
