Join Us for Star Trek Adventures Gaming!
Saturday June 28th

Join us for a special collaboration between STARFLEET Tactical and STARFLEET Sciences as we explore the galaxy through Star Trek Adventures, the official tabletop roleplaying game of the Star Trek universe!

 

In this session, players will take on the roles of Starfleet officers tackling science-themed missions inspired by none other than Dr. Erin MacDonald, astrophysicist and Star Trek science advisor! Expect strange anomalies, first contact dilemmas, and plenty of cosmic curiosity.

 

🛰️ What is Star Trek Adventures?

 

It’s a narrative-driven tabletop RPG where players boldly go as the crew of a Federation starship, using teamwork, critical thinking, and the values of Starfleet to solve problems and explore the unknown. Bring your imagination, your tricorder, and your d20.

 

Game times:

 

Session 1 June 21th 4PM-6PM EDT
Session 2 June 28th 2PM-4PM EDT

Session 3 June 28th 7PM-9PM EDT
