  • 141: Review of Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier
    Sep 18 2024

    Joe is joined by James to celebrate Dekahedron's two year anniversary. In this episode, they dive into the depths of Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier, the very first licensed Star Trek RPG. This classic game, released in 1978, offered a unique blend of science fiction and role-playing.

    In this episode, we explore the game's mechanics, its place in RPG history, and how much it still holds up today. We'll discuss what we believe to be the game's pros and cons, from the easy-to-learn rules to the lack of starship combat.

    Whether you're a long-time Star Trek fan or just curious about the early days of RPGs, this episode is a must-watch!
