ROLE CALL
With Star Trek and Lord of the Rings releases hitting the tabletop, plus Warhammer on the way, it’s a summer of RPGs to remember
Words by John Dodd
In the run up to Gen Con 50, many companies are bringing out the big guns in preparation for what is likely to be the biggest tabletop games show the world has ever seen.
Leading the charge is Modiphius with Star Trek Adventures. Using the 2d20 system, the new corebook includes all you need to play the game in a single book, including an extensive exploration of the United Federation of Planets and its galactic neighbours in the Alpha, Beta and Gamma quadrants, guidelines on how to run an adventure of exploration and discovery for the crew of a Federation starship, and a full catalogue of aliens and antagonists including Klingons, Romulans, Cardassians, the Borg and the Dominion.
