The formatting of Modiphius’ Star Trek products is guided by the era in which the story takes place, meaning this one has similar colors, displays, and block lettering consistent with The Original Series.Īs an accessibility note, this PDF has the same quirk that other Modiphius’ Star Trek PDFs have. The PDF has a two-column layout, and the artwork in the product is taken from the IDW comics which inspired the supplement. This includes a credits page, a table of contents, an ad for the IDW series, as well as an ad for Star Trek Adventures. This is a 26-page PDF supplement for Star Trek Adventures. I was provided with a review copy of this PDF from Modiphius. If you aren’t familiar, Year Five is a comic series that serves as a “wrap up” to the original series and transitions the characters from the original series from where they were in the television series, to where we see them in Star Trek the Motion Picture. I know I just crossed the streams by mentioning Star Wars in a Star Trek product review, the what I’m looking at today is a Star Trek Adventures product that uses the IDW Star Trek Year Five comic as the basis from which to draw materials for the RPG.

The events of the novel didn’t happen, but the existence of the secret Imperial shipyards and the political turmoil of the Yevetha were what I was utilizing to frame a campaign. For example, when I was running a Star Wars Age of Rebellion campaign, I used the Black Fleet Crisis as a jumping off point for that campaign. When a property has lots of different media presentation, some of which “count” and some of which don’t, I enjoy the opportunity to use the storylines from those “non-canon” works as a framework for RPG scenarios.
