Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kannik" data-source="post: 9849100" data-attributes="member: 984">I have played 2d20 under Trek, and only skimmed through the 2d20 Dune rules.*  On the whole, I find it a moderate system.  I like the group momentum aspect (fits well for Starfleet characters) and how they define and use Advantage/Disadvantage tags.  The rest though is pretty bog standard stuff, with little to emphasize the more introspective, thematic, and character focused aspects that Trek often brings in.  And while I love any non-linear system that generates margin of success, the 2d20s here is a bit fiddly and not the easiest to intuit one's probabilities.  On the whole, I enjoy playing the game enough (and made both <a href="https://lynxthoughts.com/gaming/" target="_blank">custom character and reference sheets for it</a>), but the system itself sits in an awkward place and isn't tuned well to what Trek style stories aspire to be.  Like Umbran, my first choice would be to run a Trek campaign in Cortex Prime, easily cribbing the Divisions and tweaking the Attributes and elevating Values (and species) to a higher influence (by making them Distinctions).  * Which it amuses me to no end that the previous license holder was Last Unicorn Games which also had the Trek license... so far Modiphius hasn't suffered the same fate.</blockquote>
