Star trek adventures character builder
For instance Chapter 2.2, which details the ‘Early History of the Federation’, is just loads of little snippets of communication logs, reports etc. However, it is weirdly inconsistent in how it gives you that information. The book follows a fairly trad construction: it has a load of setting information, then gets into character creation, how you play, and then into how you run the game. I just don’t get how the latter one got through an art director to the final product and the better pieces really make the weaker ones stand out.
Now obviously this is a purely subjective opinion, as is this entire review, but the inconsistency in the quality and style really struck me. I’m not usually one to criticise art in a game, I think how it plays is more important than the looks, but this is so bad that I couldn’t skip over it. To pictures of people like Captain Doofus: This inconsistency throughout the book extends to the art direction which goes from pictures of beautiful starships like this:Ĭouldn't find a bigger version of this, sorry. When looking up various rules things were frequently not where I expected them. Some chapters feature perfectly good writing but others are badly laid out, and feel ill thought through. The first thing that struck me about Star Trek Adventures was that the whole thing feels very rushed. A hiatus to continue a Shadowrun campaign meant we only started playing it againrecently, and I think I am ready to deliver a verdict having come back to it with fresh eyes.
