  • Credit Roll
    The Potemkin has been running for almost 19 months as of the writing of this report. We started small, at the time having 7 players and using Obsidian Fleet’s Discord for our voice channel, being guest writers on Obsidian Command for our post writing, and using Roll20 as our ‘table top’.
  • Discord
    Like much of the fleet, TBR makes use of its own Discord server. We have three primary categories: Announcements, To Boldly Roll (Public Channels), and Member Channels (Private Channels). We do also have an Admin channel but this one is boring, and the bots are in it, and only the Command Team has access to this one!
  • Foundry
    The VTT Foundry is a program that works in a similar way to Roll20. The benefits of Foundry are seemingly limitless.
  • Introduction
    This report is an effort to clarify and to summarize the operation of the USS Potemkin as a sim. The Potemkin, or ‘To Boldly Roll’ (abbreviated TBR) is a multifaceted endeavor that utilizes a number of online platforms.
  • Leadership Roles
    No aGMs were harmed in the making of this report. ~nikki<3
  • Social Media
    Our social media presence is still being developed. We have accounts for Twitter, TikTok and Twitch; so far we are using Twitch far more than the other two platforms
  • Statistics
    From our first sessions in March of 2021 Nikki and Matt along with the Fleet Council have been trying to find the best way to record our successes.
  • To Boldly Roll - Nova site
    We decided to make use of a Nova site several months ago, before we had our own we had been guests at Obsidian Command. The choice to move was more out of a need for our own space than anything else. We had wanted to start a written component to our gaming in the form of the Night Watch, a ‘Lower Decks’ inspired game that would be set (timeline wise) during the year that the Potemkin was in repairs. This is now just starting to take off after much planning and proponing. The Nova also houses the bulk of our lore database, the Character Bio’s and their Star Trek Adventures (STA) character sheets.
  • To Boldly Roll - Public site
    Our public facing site makes use of WordPress to create an easy to navigate and easy to use website. We keep links to all our podcasts in easy reach on the front page, Player and character profiles along with awards given to said players and characters. The simple nature of the site means that while there is data on there much of our game play data and information is also linked out to our other sites, we try to keep too much duplication from overloading our viewer/listeners.
  • To Boldly Roll welcomes you to the Potemkin
    At its heart, To Boldly Roll is primarily a tabletop RPG that utilizes Discord stage, which enables us to play in real time even though we represent several countries. Essentially the play style is akin to Dungeons and Dragons dice rolling with character stats and story challenges to be rolled against. The Bridge Crew segment of the Potemkin is using the Star Trek Adventures 2D20 play system published by Modiphus. Because we host the game online, we rely on a virtual table top in place of a physical table and dice; the system we currently use is called Foundry. While the sessions are played, they are simultaneously recorded by a bot in discord, where the players are all logged in to a voice stage, and also live streamed and recorded on a twitch channel by the GM.
