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’. Our biggest supporter and the person who helped us the most is Becca, a member of the Joint Fleet Command (JFC), she offered a great deal of encouragement that was vital in those early days. Thanks to everyone’s encouragement and support, the Potemkin grew and needed to fly the nest! As such we moved to our own discord and started to gather listeners. Although we continued to write on OC for a time, and we are grateful to Sep for allowing us to infiltrate his sim, we likewise grew up and moved out to our own Nova site. Our next big change came when Matt realized that Roll20’s limitations were not helping him to tell a story the way he wanted to. So, a license for the VTT program called Foundry was bought and was then hosted on a server.

Foundry VTT is the tabletop that we use to play the game. It is a powerful program that can be filled with a great deal of information, items and NPC’s. The creators of Foundry VTT have done a great job and are always updating the core program to make it more stable and generally better at handling all RPG systems and adventure modules and quality of play modifications that are used. Matt bought a license for Foundry and paid for the server (Foundry Server) to run Foundry.

Discord is a very familiar program to us all, it is our primary means of communication between players and our community. It is a wonderful program that we are only now starting to take advantage of. Without discord and the recording bot Craig we would have found it much harder to do what we do!

Anodyne Productions has been a mainstay of the RPG community for so very long now it's hard to consider another format as good. Potemkin uses a Nova 2 program for our player site. We fully intend to swap over to the Next Generation Nova when it has been released, until then a few members of the command team subscribe to their Patrion!

Wordpress is the service we use for our public facing site. It is a versatile program that can be quickly and easily  tailored to the needs of the host. Will, one of our venerable players, pays for the webspace that TBR’s website uses and looks after it if it goes down.

Stormy Hosting provides the webspace for our Nova 2 and houses the rule books that the players use when they are needed to be disseminated.

Obsidian Fleet is where we call home. Without Obsidian Fleet we wouldn’t have even gotten started let alone gotten such a good start. Obsidian Fleet is a multinational collective of Role Playing Games that share resources and ideas to help better each individual sim! In particular we would like to recognize the help and support from Becca and Sep who both helped a great deal at the start!
Modiphius, well without them we wouldn’t have the very gaming system that we use to play. It is a wonderful system which has given a feel for Star trek in the tabletop world that no other has come close to replicating. They have worked tirelessly to create many supplements and story campaigns that give the feel of being in Starfleet!
