**Star Trek Adventures** is Modiphius's licensed take on the property, running on the publisher's in-house **2d20** system — the hobby's most successful attempt to make a crew of the *Enterprise* (or *Voyager*, or *Discovery*, or a ship you made up) playable at the table. The line splits cleanly in two: the full crew-based roleplaying game in its first (2017) and second (2024) editions, and **Captain's Log**, the standalone solo game Modiphius spun out of it. It's Star Trek done as a dice-and-tables sport, and after seven-plus years and a mountain of supplements, it's the definitive tabletop version of the property.
## Setting
The pitch is the franchise's entire promise: the United Federation of Planets, Starfleet, and the final frontier, playable across **any era** of Star Trek, from the earliest days of the Federation in the 2100s to the 32nd century. The first edition defaulted to a specific, volatile moment — the **Dominion War**-era Alpha Quadrant of 2371, with Bajor, Deep Space 9, the Maquis, and the Dominion looming — while the second edition spread the net across all eras and broadened who you could be beyond a Federation officer. Both put you aboard a starship with a crew who epitomize the best Starfleet has to offer, assigned to explore strange new worlds.
## The 2d20 system
Both branches run the same family of mechanics: players roll **two (or more) d20s** against a target built from an **Attribute + Discipline**, with narrow **Focuses** granting extra successes, a **Difficulty** equal to the number of successes required, an economy of **Momentum** (for players) and **Threat** (for the Gamemaster), and special **Challenge Dice** for narrative effects. The member notes carry the detail.
