Star Trek Adventures (STA) is a 2d20 game built around episodic, crew-based stories. Players who ran it, some for 1.5 to 2 years, say it captures the feel of the TV shows. The most common complaint is the 1e core book, where rules are hard to find mid-session. Reports on the 2e book are fewer and mostly positive.
Each thread is rated for the play it describes, from the firsthand reports in it. Load one here or read it on Reddit.
People who ran or played STA say it captures the Star Trek feel and is fun at the table, including a 1.5-year campaign. The main complaint is the core book: rules are hard to find mid-session, so GMs make their own summaries and cheat sheets, and one player stopped playing because of it. 9 firsthand · 36 comments
The thread is mostly advice for a newcomer choosing STA over D20 Future, with only a handful of brief firsthand reports. Those who played STA, including one 1.5-year 1e campaign, describe a narrative, ensemble game that runs easily as single-session episodes and captures the Trek feel. The weak spots are starship combat and a system one player disliked. 5 firsthand · 40 comments
The thread is mainly a review of the 2E rulebook. The few commenters who actually played STA (mostly 1e) say the game is fun and captures Star Trek well, but that the rulebook layout made it hard to run. 4 firsthand · 26 comments
The thread is mostly a bundle deal announcement and compatibility Q&A, with only a few short firsthand reports. Those reports are warm: published scenarios like Lurkers and the Lower Decks Prime Directive mission produced memorable, emotionally weighty table moments, and 1E material runs in 2E with modest conversion work. 4 firsthand · 28 comments
The thread is mostly about the announced second edition and the corebook's layout, with little actual play reporting. The few firsthand comments describe a 2d20 game with interesting concepts that some groups found hard to click with or heavily modified. 3 firsthand · 32 comments
The few people who actually played STA describe it as a good fit for episodic, Star Trek-feeling stories, and one GM found it produced more original stories than Starfinder. Most of the thread is generic apples-to-oranges debate and Starfinder comparison, with little detail about how STA plays at the table. 3 firsthand · 32 comments
