What is the Star Trek: RPG-X Pen & Paper Companion Skill System?
Developed by Serris, the
Star Trek: RPG-X Pen & Paper Companion Skill System (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1fu-jqaqmTitY_LTz9H0LqN2HEF_-h9zt) is a new traditional roleplaying game designed to compliment the direct action-oriented style of player interaction in
RPG-X. Similar to
Dungeons & Dragons, the
Star Trek: RPG-X Skill System provides a framework for players to quantify their character's abilities, as well as add a more dynamic, random element to their interactions with the world around them.
A print-friendly version of the first edition is available here (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cf34n725qOZ805NnRxO6VJtnfRDUlpZ7).
What does this mean for The Last Outpost's Shared Universe?
Asteria and
Endurance will be the first series to use the
RPG-X Skill System to facilitate events and define the consequences for characters' actions, hoping to provide a more dynamic storytelling experience. Players who apply for either series will be required to fill out a skill sheet for their character. Andzzy has created a spreadsheet template (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-QDwzvwxWkATfpMNAVoyhxVfAHToFXQiwNTgR4BbyvQ/edit?usp=sharing) that will help you do most of the work, though you may still need to refer to the PDF to factor in trait bonuses and penalties. An example of a finished character biography with a skill sheet can be seen here (https://last-outpost.net/forum/index.php/topic,9754.0.html).
