@Jennkryst said in Star Trek Games:
There were five people on the ship with a lower rank
Gentle reminder that I’m talking about the enlisted crew, who constituted the vast majority of the ship’s complement and generally didn’t get to go on wacky adventures. I’m also, more pertinently, talking about past games that have existed not one of the TV shows, where people who weren’t lucky/connected/whatever enough to get a senior position didn’t get to have wacky shenanigans anywhere near as often as The Main Cast. So please don’t “gentle reminder” your way through ignoring my experience.
If you want your game like Lower Decks, focus on those people. If you want it like TNG, focus on those people. Yes, players can run shit, but staff run the game and set the tone; so if you’re focusing on telling a story about The Senior Officers that’s who people will want to be and will feel left out if they can’t.
