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.

We have a strange mix of STA stats, following the rules set forth within the Modiphius 2D20 system; and the stats, rules and lore of Obsidian fleet. SO, for each vessel we have as NPC in our game we have two sets of stats for! At times it is difficult to align the two very different systems into something that is acceptable. An example of this is the Potemkin herself, following strictly by the rules of STA the Excelsior class is a very different ship within Obsidian Fleet’s databases. It has taken 3 years in universe time and three refits after massive damage to come close to the stats of Obsidian Fleet.

To try and give as much depth as possible to the Potemkin we have created a set of Wiki pages that help to inform the player so they can better play their character. As you can see from the image below we have the Star Trek Adventures character sheets for those NPC ships we make use of as well as the ‘Ships of the Expanse’ section, which links to the Obsidian Fleet Specs for some of those ships.
