Trek:Rules

To Boldly Go

A Purpose-Built Star Trek Roleplaying System

To Boldly Go emphasizes capable characters, an ensemble crew, fast resolution, scientific discovery, command decisions, and dramatic starship action.

The rules are organized around what Starfleet characters actually do rather than around long lists of narrowly defined abilities.

The Continuing Mission

Explore strange new worlds. Seek out new life and new civilizations. Protect the ship and crew. Confront difficult choices. Return next week to do it all again.

Rules Chapters

Your First, Best Destiny

Create the character you want to play. Attributes, Disciplines, Focuses, Talents, Hindrances, species traits, personal history, and a character’s place aboard ship.

The Continuing Mission

Character development without a relentless climb in power. New Focuses, changing responsibilities, character redesign, and the structure of a continuing campaign.

Strange New Worlds

Scientific investigation, unfamiliar phenomena, first contact, diplomacy, extended challenges, and solutions to problems no one has encountered before.

Risk Is Our Business

Action scenes, physical conflict, phasers, injuries, environmental hazards, opposed rolls, Fortune, and the consequences of failure.

The Center Seat

Leadership, responsibility, difficult decisions, coordinating the crew, assuming command, and earning the authority to occupy the center seat.

All Hands

Bridge stations, departmental operations, supporting characters, damage control, away teams, and starship encounters.

The Mission Continues

These rules are intended to produce episodes rather than tactical exercises. Characters confront dangers, mysteries, and moral problems; contribute according to their abilities and responsibilities; and return from each mission with new experiences that may shape the stories still to come.

The Starfleet Approach

Understand the problem before trying to control it. Give every member of the crew something meaningful to contribute. Resort to force only when no better solution will protect the ship, the crew, or innocent lives.
