What are some episodes of Star Trek you&#39;d want to experience as an adventure in a TTRPG?<br/><br/>I&#39;m running StarFinder 2E for my friends this year, and I&#39;m specifically using an episodic structure so each &#34;episode&#34; will be a single session adventure with the occasional To Be Continued multi-parter. I have several ideas for sessions not directly inspired by episodes of Star Trek, but I&#39;d love to hear your thoughts as well.<br/><br/>#StarTrek #StarFinder2E 2025-01-21T22:45:34Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsds7tzdy7f6ql957nzgwymdawm5duc43mzt5hk4y9d3grz27q8fpszyzl5jk5rtcct5c0h5j68sz2yu6wgwjm60smctvutn3epv9wz08zp5gxnps0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswuc2jsy2qel05v7rvgchtfqqcxmuyexknpnr9lwa2w4sn35l2rcq9rac6c'>nevent1q…ac6c</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Santa Carla, AKA Santa Cruz in the real world.

Anyone who manages to survive the indoctrination and still have empathy leaves the church.<br/><br/>Also, many churchgoers see everything as God&#39;s will, so they don&#39;t have to take responsibility for their actions, choices, and/or the society they live in. 2024-11-06T16:45:52Z
