Looking for new adventures

[locuteus]

Ok everyone. I'm new to this board so forgive me if I mess up anywhere. Just let me know what I did and I'll make sure it doesn't happen again.

I run a game group onboard a Galaxy class starship set during the 3rd season of DS9 and the 1st season of VOY.

My question is... besides the obvious place of TrekRPG.net, where can I find an archive of really good adventures? I see everyone giving a lot of good ideas. Unfortuneatly, I don't have the time to turn those ideas into adventures.

Any help?

I smell fresh meat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously though I haven't seen any other sites yet that offer full blown adventures. Most just steal the adventures from Trekrpg.net and post them there.

Sorry, wish there was more help available.

Oh and welcome aboard.

Locuteus, you're welcome to try the adventure ideas I've posted here. Just use the search function to look for Back to Babel and Sargasso Nebula. My group is just winding up after two game sessions in the Sargasso Nebula, and the players really enjoyed it.

LUGTrek isn't really dead. Not as long as we remember it.

Here is an idea for a place to find adventures for your series...your local library. They will probably have a slew of Star Trek Novels, if you don't have a player or players who read them, then you have a ready source for ideas. Keep in mind taking them as whole cloth will probably be difficult as they will focus in part at least on "character drama" about the characters from the series, but you can still find some useful dilemnas and possible solutions to work off of. Eventually you will discover after some practice that the very best adventures for your group will come from your own imagination.

Another amusing thing to try is, ask your group to each put one word on a scrap of paper before they leave. Try to take the words they give you and come up with an adventure from them. Heck, that might be a good idea for a thread on this board.

Peace

Hmmm... likely words from my group:

Pizza, Asteroid, Borg, Babes, Surf!(Dude),

and 1970 Mach I 429 SuperCobraJet (that last is mine! )

So I would have an adventure where beautiful women, including 7of9, are captured and forced to work on a prison asteroid making really bad frozen pizzas for export by the Breen... one (or both) of the female PC's are captured and taken to this asteroid, the other PC's come to rescue them (maybe!) and everybody escapes in a vintage hotrod waverider shuttle.

You guys are great. Thanks for all the help. I've decided to just "wing it" as most of you have seemed to suggest. I did that once before and my group seemed to like it better than the ones I found anyway. I'll let you know how it goes. BTW, I think I'll try the suggestion of getting them to write some ideas down on scraps of paper.

Thanks again.

Winging it is fun, and works well for me.

I've also run all the old FASA "Starfleet" modules... except Return to Axanar, which I'm going to run soon. I'm trying to figure out how to run the "Trader Captains" civilian modules with my SF crew. I think they will work better once I get them transfered from the Nebula class USS Endeavor to the Nova class USS Pathfinder.

If you haven't run any of Mr. Biggin's adventures from this site you really should. They are uniformly excellent, with great background material... some of which I've incorporated into the history of my campaign.

ive found that the best gaming sessions ive had are the ones where i only have a very rough outline of what i want to do...maybe one or two simple ideas, then i let the characters run with it....my group seems to enjoy this more as i let them lead and i just develop the adventure around them....gives them great opportunity to do what they want to do
