STAR TREK ADVENTURES (Online Resources)
With the release of
Star Trek Adventures, it's a good time to pause and reflect on what a good time it is to be a Star Trek gamer. As good as the Star Trek Adventures RPG book is, there's a tendency to make reference after reference to episodes of Star Trek from various series and seasons -- which can be very frustrating when trying to get a grasp of what past or future significance in the timeline those references are, er, referring to.
Fortunately, there are Wikis to help you with that.
Wikis
1.
Memory Alpha (repository of much Star Trek canon information)
2.
Memory Beta (repository of much Star Trek non-canon information)
Furthermore, you have the option of going to
Netflix to check out the exact episode that's being referred to, once the reference has been made. In my account, I have access to:
- TOS (even the animated series!)
- TNG
- DS9
- Voyager
- Enterprise
- TOS Movies; TNG Movies
For those who might be looking for online material concerning ships and stations, there are two YouTube channels that I recommend:
Star Trek Ships
1.
TrekYards (which covers many ships from Star Trek's past, present, and fandom, along with reviews of the current series
Star Trek: Discovery, and related shows like
The Orville.)
2.
SpaceDock (which also covers many ships from Science Fiction, including Star Trek)
All this and more are online to help your prep for campaign and adventure creation in Star Trek!
