Modiphius, Star Trek: The Animated Series Supplemental Guide

[aramis erak]

They're working their way through. Discovery a couple years ago, Lower Decks very recently, and now TAS. They'll get there.

The Disco sourcebook is specifically pre-time-leap. SNW is essentially mostly covered by the Disco sourcebook... After season 3, there might be enough to justify a sourcebook...

I'm a bit surprised by the inclusion of the animated series. Pleasantly surprised. I wonder how many current Star Trek fans have seen it? I remember two episodes I saw more than 40 years ago (Jesus, I'm old). The first one involved Spock going back in time, meeting himself as a child, and seeing his pet sehlat. The other involved tribbles, with Mudd (I think) fixing their reproduction problem but that led to them simply growing and growing. I remember Kirk having to push a fat tribble off the captain's chair.

SNW is a much less laser-focused show with a broader perspective (ie, it's not the Michael Burnham and Pals Super-Fun Hour) and deserves it's own material IMO.

Nice, good to see even the more obscure section of the franchise get rep. Should combine well with the Lower Decks book, perhaps as a slightly more serious prequel...

Pleasantly surprised the Kzinti will be in there!

Looking around, it seems that previous Modephius books have dealt with the Kzin, like what they were up to during the Dominion War.

I don't disagree, but 20 episodes is pretty thin, especially since #21-30 are already in process of production. I don't expect a sourcebook for SNW until season 5 is "in the can"... Partly because of CBS/Paramount - they didn't allow Disco until the setting change, and then it's restricted to before the setting change. I have worries that the final season won't provide enough more for the second half sourcebook to really support 27th C play.

I'll likely be watching the animated series in a couple weeks, just working my way through TOS at the moment.

Given the number of TAS references in LD, including a Kzinti officer in Star Fleet....

gasp
Lt. Arex! How I've weirdly missed you.
I was pretty excited seeing another of his species on a Lower Decks episode. A fun easter egg for me.

His race and the Catians were in an early book, either Alpha or Beta Quadrant.
