RPG Adaptation for Star Trek Adventures: Doomsday World

Leave a comment

Captain Roger Taylor of the USS Essex has done it again. He was inspired from reading the Star Trek: The Next Generation novel #12 “Doomsday World” to adapt it into an adventure module. This can be used with the Star Trek Adventures RPG by Modiphius.

This 29 page adaptation includes three new races that can be used in the game. There are also several NPCs, a planetary profile, a vehicle profile and several handouts.

Warning: if you want to play in this adventure, do not read the PDF file below.

Admiral’s Banquet and a special surprise

Leave a comment
A prototype of the new Seventh Fleet Annual.

This Saturday, March 26th, is one of two annual fleet events. The Admiral’s Banquet. This is where the Admiralty gets to acknowledge the efforts that the members put into the chapters and fleet. The USS Rendezvous is hosting the event at the Richmond City Center (were we have held past banquets) with a starting time of Noon. Please note the change in time because we’ve usually started at 2:00pm in the past.

The USS Rendezvous will be serving a Taco Bar for the meal. However they stated that they would not be insulted if you bring your own food because of dietary/taste reasons. There is no charge for the food, but a tip jar will be set up to help for those that wish to help out.

There will also be a silent auction available with items donated by various chapters in the Seventh Fleet. This will be cash only as per the organizer. There will also be various videos created by the chapters.

This is a nice dress or uniformed event. We will also be taking group photos at the banquet.

New this year we have a special surprise. As you can see from the photo above, we now have a prototype issue of the Seventh Fleet Annual. This fanzine is a “Best Of” featuring selected articles and artwork from various chapter newsletters and blogs and comes in at a 136 pages. Come check it out at the banquet. We will be gauging interest in this publication.

It’s been a very long time since we’ve held the Admiral’s Banquet in person. We are looking forward to seeing everyone again.

A starship for Star Trek Adventures: Cochrane Series-500 Scout Spaceframe

Leave a comment

Captain Roger Taylor continues to send in a wave of wonderful articles taking various elements of Star Trek and adapting them for the Star Trek Adventures role playing game.

For this entry, we have the Cochrane Scout Spaceframe that was (barely) seen in two Star Trek: The Animated Series episodes. Once Upon a Planet and Mudd’s Passion. Details about this ship on screen can be found at Ex Astris Scientia and the Guide to Animated Star Trek (see question 29). Captain Taylor used information from the USS Enterprise Officer’s Manual by Geoffrey Mandel and Doug Drexler.

As a bonus, Captain Taylor also included a “hero” ship the Molly B.

Kelly Kookbook Entry: Foul Madammas

Leave a comment

One of the goals of the Seventh Fleet is to celebrate the creativity of our members. In the late 90’s (then) Lt. Commander Ruth Burns assembled recipes from different sources to put together the Kelly Kookbook. Not only did members of the USS Kelly and the Seventh Fleet help out, but several actors and production personnel from Star Trek also sent in submissions. While our dear friend Ruth is gone, her book of Star Trek recipes is still with us for us to explore. We will post a submission from the book on a semi-regular basis. With February 8th being the birthday of Ethan Phillips, the actor who portrayed Neelix on Star Trek: Voyager, we thought we would post one of his submissions to the book. Enjoy.

A PLAYABLE RACE FOR STAR TREK ADVENTURES: THE ELTHAN

Leave a comment

Here is another article submitted by Captain Roger Taylor of the USS Essex. The Elthan is a race that appeared in the Star Trek story “Night Whispers” by Diane Duane. This story appeared in the Star Trek: Enterprise Logs anthology.

These statistics can be used for the Star Trek Adventures role playing game by Modphius. Just a reminder that members can submit articles for any Star Trek gaming system.

Yea, we didn’t do a Hailing Frequencies Open in January. The month had been so busy plus recovering from the holidays that we took it off. Not to worry, the special dates that would have been posted then will be celebrated now.

The Admiral’s Banquet had to be postponed for obvious reasons. Thanks to the efforts of the USS Rendezvous we have a new date for the banquet. It will be on Saturday, March 26th at 2:00pm. This will still be at the Richmond City facility that we’ve used in the past with the theater.

Star Trek: Strange New Worlds has a premier date. We will all be able to enjoy it on Paramount+ on Thursday. May 5th. We are very excited for this new Captain Pike series to come out. We’ve been really enjoying Star Trek: Prodigy and Star Trek: Discovery.

Hailing Frequencies Open December 2021

Wow, where has this year gone? It seemed like just last week was the Fourth of July celebration. All things considered, 2021 has been a much better year than (shudder) the year that shall not be named. With the help of vaccines and safety measures, we’ve been able to start having activities in person again. While we are not out of the woods yet, it is much better when we can see the members of our Star Trek family in person.

Orders for the 2022 Seventh Fleet Calendars are still being taken. The cost is still $10 an issue. To order one, get the money into your Commanding Officer no later than Saturday, December 18th. This calendar will have various fleet and chapter events listed. There is also listings for area conventions and holidays. 2022 will be the tenth year in a row that we will be publishing the Seventh Fleet calendar.

The first season of Star Trek: Prodigy is currently on break with the next episode coming out on January 6, 2022. The series has already been picked up for a second season. The fourth season of Star Trek: Discovery is currently airing with several interesting episodes so far. As of this blog post, we have not received air dates for the first season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds or the second season of Star Trek: Picard.

On a sad note, the Seventh Fleet would like to extend our personal condolences to Aaron Kehn for the loss of his mother in an automobile accident. We do not stand alone.

Please be safe for the holidays. We would like to see everyone on Saturday, January 22nd for the Admiral’s Banquet in Richmond, Utah.

Congratulations To:
Admiral Dennis Hollinger on the birth of his grandson on November 16th.
Seth Nielsen of the USS Valkyrie for promotion to the rank of Lt. Commander.
