Modiphius Opens Hailing Frequencies for ‘Star Trek Adventures 2nd Edition’
Modiphius announced a second edition of their hit Star Trek RPG, Star Trek Adventures, coming later this year. Here’s what we know.
After a seven-year mission to explore space, the final frontier, Modiphius announced a new edition for Star Trek Adventures, the Star Trek RPG. The new edition promises to expand gameplay, refine character options, and, most importantly, come out later this year.
Promising refined 2d20 gameplay, as well as a host of updates to some of the more Trek-centric mechanics like shipbuilding and long-term research, the new edition is aiming for a Gen Con launch date, according to the press release.

In a press release, Modiphius revealed the existence of, but few details about the new 2nd Edition of Star Trek Adventures. But while the details are sparse, there are a few exciting nuggets, including the fact that they’re adding both Strange New Worlds and Prodigy to the license.
“Modiphius Entertainment Ltd. will publish a second edition of its award-winning Star Trek roleplaying game, Star Trek Adventures, later this year with a new core rulebook and a series of game expansions to follow.
The British publisher continues to enjoy a strong licensing relationship with Paramount Consumer Products, adding Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Star Trek: Prodigy to the license, allowing it to produce game material for both series alongside the rest of the franchise.”
They’re aiming for a Gen Con release, with a new starter set coming not long after. Perhaps most excitingly, the new edition will focus on stepping outside of the Federation:
A new core rulebook will premiere at Gen Con 2024, and a new starter set will be released in the fall. The core rulebook will allow players to create original characters and starships, immersing themselves in Star Trek stories of their own making. The second edition of the popular RPG will build on and refine the rules from the first edition, and is compatible with first edition supplements and expansions.
The second edition of the game opens up the possibility for players to step outside the Starfleet-focused gameplay and tell stories with the well-known species of the Star Trek universe, including the Klingon and Romulan Empires, in addition to others present across the franchise. With the addition of Strange New Worlds to the license, the new edition will feature art themed around the popular new series.
