Strange New Games | Star Trek Roleplaying

Join me as I explore strange new rules, seek out new systems and mechanics, and boldly go where several bankrupt games companies have been before!

Tabletop may not be the final frontier in gaming, but it is one littered with successful and unsuccessful RPGs. These are the histories of the publishers who attempted to create a roleplaying game in the Star Trek universe.

Corrections:

I mistakenly refer to Amarillo Design Bureau as the Armadillo Design Bureau. That’s embarrassing. Modiphius' first 2D20 game was in fact Mutant Chronicles 3e, not Achtung! Cthulhu as I say in the video.

It was in fact Ross Isaacs at Last Unicorn Games who developed the Icon system, not “Rob Isaacs” as I mistakenly said.
