As we are now on the run up to Christmas, we take a closer look at the Star Trek Adventures Star Trek: Lower Decks Campaign Guide.
“We’re more like the cool, scrappy underdogs of the ship.” – Ensign Beckett Mariner
The Star Trek: Lower Decks Campaign Guide expands upon the core Star Trek Adventures roleplaying game experience by providing detailed advice on creating junior officers and using them to tell amazing Star Trek-style stories with the fun, irreverent tone presented in Star Trek: Lower Decks.
Whether you’re cleaning holodeck biofilters, conducting an anomaly consolidation day, participating in a second contact, or enjoying some well-earned Buffer Time, there’s always something new to encounter and learn, both within the universe and yourself and your fellow crewmates.
How will you make a name for yourself and your companions?
The 240-page, full-color hardback Star Trek: Lower Decks Campaign Guide contains:
- An extensive discussion of the state of the Galaxy in the late 24th century, including updated information on the Federation, Starfleet, Pakleds, and more.
- Detailed information on the lower decks junior officer experience, including daily life, procedures, career development, and more.
- New lifepath options for player characters, including eight new playable species (including Cetaceans, Gorn, Pakleds, and Exocomps).

- New gear, technologies, and creatures, as well as a complete system for creating your own creatures.
- A wealth of advice on gamemastering lower decks-style campaigns, whether you are playing a Starfleet campaign or one based on another polity.
- More than 50 non-player characters to include in your games, pulled from a variety of polities and species.
- A three-part mini-campaign focused on junior officers that can be adapted for use in other eras of play and with crews from any polity.
- Includes a foreword written by Star Trek: Lower Decks creator, Mike McMahan!
This book requires a Star Trek Adventures core rulebook to use.
This was a lot of fun, and as a long-time Star Trek fan I really enjoyed immersing myself into this. I cant wait to try some of the other offerings from Modiphuis.
Star Trek Adventures Star Trek: Lower Decks Campaign Guide is available now priced around £45.
