Adept Play
I’m on posting duty for our first official, post-pilot episode of Star Trek Adventures, “Questions of Duty,” as Anthony is battling complications (a bit like our characters were). The video embedded below goes right to the episode, or rather, the first of the four sessions we took to play it. So you know, the episodes…
It’s 2030, as conceived in 1994, and things like this thing are attacking Earth out of nowhere. No fear: the International Society of Enlightened Scientists has swung into action, using secret weird tech from the 1940s under no quality-control supervision at all!

Our two dusters and draver arrive near and along the Great River during their travels. The questions of why they’re here and what they want, individually, have just become pointier. This post continues from Desert duster fantasy with session 8 in the embedded video, which is also hooked into the entire YouTube playlist. For immediate…
