Michael Z.I'm now 3 "episodes" into my Star Trek: Captain's Log game. It's been a bit of a slow start, much like every good Star Trek series. The first few episodes are a bit awkward until they get the characters established. I'm having that same experience in my crappy little series. But the characters are coming into focus. This definitely isn't the flagship for the federation, but they get the job done.
I haven't had a chance to finish making a character in Star Trek: Captain's Log, but I've started the process. The life path system is probably the coolest thing I've found in any of these solo rpgs. I know I'll have a fully rounded, interesting character to play around with when it's all done.
My copy of Star Trek: Captain's Log arrived. It looks like fun! I don't necessarily need another solo ttrpg to play, but I couldn't resist this particular game. Writing little captain's logs sounds like a perfect use of an afternoon or two.
Lamont SkyThe Captain’s Log #notebook from https://www.getdigital.de/star-trek-notizbuch-captains-log.html is the perfect companion to Star Trek Adventures. It’s even #fountainpen compatible.
Sigh, grabbed my print of #UNE to generate a #NPC for my game of #StarTrekCaptainsLog before remembering that Captain’s Log has its own tables for NPC generation. It worked nonetheless. UNE is great. 🖖
Like @WelshAdventurer I find spaceships fascinating.
For my first game of Captain’s Log, I created an Edenist Bitech spaceship called "Sinope" and worked hard, adapting it for the #StarTrek universe. Ships in Star Trek are slow, so slow.

Finally read through Star Trek Captain’s log, what a great game!
The book is roughly split into three parts:
1. Star Trek lore
2. Game mechanics
3. How to tell a story
The game mechanics remind me of Ironsworn: Player facing rolls and moves (called actions) like “Theorize” that consist of the player's attributes (like “insight”) and disciplines (like “science”). Everything looks very well-rounded.

Nearly ready to play, I just need enough time now.
STA Captain’s Log is a great book, full of random tables, #StarTrek lore and tips for playing a lovely game.
