Star Trek: Fate of the Quadrant (Session Zero)

Alun R facilitates a session of his own Fate hack inspired by Star Trek Adventures (STA from Modiphius).

These, then, are the Main Crew Characters of the USS Montgomery (NX-72532), an experimental Nova-class refit named for one of Starfleet's greatest engineers, and intended to test various prototypes in the field. How long that trial continues, may depend on our NPC Captain, the taciturn Commander Jorzan Prel, a Joined Trill nearing the end of a career that has left his somewhat disillusioned ...Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ7-dgdhTAM ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
