[QUOTE="Randomthoughts, post: 7818469, member: 6681248"] I played STA a couple of times at cons, which convinced me to get it and run it for my family and friends. Some things for consideration at a session zero are: [LIST] [*]Is anyone playing the captain? Should anyone? [*]Are you all going to be Chief level? Or lower? The game does accommodate you playing other cast members (think that’s what they’re called) at all levels so it’s not as important. [*]What races are allowed? In my game, I asked my players what race they wanted. One wanted to play a Human Science Officer. The other wanted to play a Klingon, the last wanted to play a Klingon, Ferengi or Romulan. The game supports Klingon and Ferengi (not sure about Romulan) but it was far from the organized play and available missions. [*]Characters are easy to create and are highly competent. Specialization is based on foci (IIRC). Dice mechanics interact with those a lot (they played like Aspects or Distinctions) in narrative games. [*]I actually found the missions to run like ST TV episodes so felt very Trek-like. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
