Modiphius’ new The Lower Decks campaign guide for the Star Trek Adventures RPG is up for pre-order, and hijinks await.

One of the best things in Star Trek right now, aside from the amazing work they’ve been doing with Picard, is The Lower Decks. This answers the question of “who would you be if you lived in Star Trek” and the answer is, “the weird little people running around in the background while Geordi and Data try and figure out how Riker seduced the ship’s computer and what they’re going to do about it.”

Modiphius’ new expansion, The Lower Decks, brings that world right to your tabletop. And it’s up for pre-order now!

The Lower DecksStar Trek Adventures Campaign Guide

Star Trek: Lower Decks opens up the turbolift doors onto a whole new side of Trek.

Whether you’re cleaning holodeck biofilters, conducting an anomaly consolidation day, participating in a second contact, or enjoying some well-earned Buffer Time, there’s always something new to encounter and learn, both within the universe and within yourself and your fellow crewmates. How will you make a name for yourself and your companions?

There’s a ton of exciting stuff in here if you want to mix a little humor into your game including:

  • An extensive discussion of the state of the Galaxy in the late 24th century, including updated information on the Federation, Starfleet, Pakleds, and more.
  • Detailed information on the lower decks junior officer experience, including daily life, procedures, career development, and more.
  • New lifepath options for player characters, including eight new playable species (including Cetaceans, Gorn, Pakleds, and Exocomps).
  • Game statistics and graphics for seven spaceframes, including the California, Obena, and Parliament classes, and game statistics for over 20 ships from Starfleet and other policies (as well as a selection of ground vehicles)!
  • New gear, technologies, and creatures, as well as a complete system for creating your own creatures.
  • A wealth of advice on gamemastering lower decks-style campaigns, whether you are playing a Starfleet campaign or one based on another polity.
  • More than 50 non-player characters to include in your games, pulled from a variety of polities and species.
  • A three-part mini-campaign focused on junior officers that can be adapted for use in other eras of play and with crews from any polity.

All of this awaits in the upcoming guide. Stay tuned for more!
