Is anyone getting black boxes covering the text in various places throughout the book, as though the images were placed over the text but not on a transparent layer?

Is anyone else having a problem with ships completely missing most of their stats in this PDF? Like, both Systems and Departments showing far more empty boxes than not?

Do I need to buy each captain's log era edition to play in those eras?

The yes or no probability matrix on pg. 254 gives the example questions “How probable is it that
the force fields collapse under that assault?” and “What is the likelihood that my hiding place is effective?”... Could you explain how to answer these questions with the provided matrix when the only answers you can get are "yes" or "no"? Perhaps I'm not understanding a step?
LOVING the book and my first adventure!

Hi Jordan, happy to help. As you work through scenes and encounters, you may come upon a situation that requires you to ask a question and consult the probability matrix.

You've erected a forcefield but it's under heavy barrage by the adversary. You wonder "how probable is it that the forcefields collapse under that assault?" You'd look at the table and maybe decide "Probable," all things considered.

The implicit question in there is "will the forcefields collapse?" Roll on the Yes/No table, and check the result against the Probable row. Rolling 1-15 means yes, the forcefields collapse; 16-20, they did not. Note that result, and then narrate the scene accordingly with that new information.

Same with the other example. You're hiding from Jem'Hadar soldiers in a wrecked shuttlebay. Is your hiding place any good? You might wonder "What's the likelihood that my hiding place is effective?" You look at the totality of the scene and maybe...See more

Thank you so much - that's exactly what I needed to make it click!!! In my mind, I was trying to figure out a way to get to a % answer, rather than using the probability to inform the "yes" or "no" answer. Thanks again!

Do you need the full rules for this, or does it work with the starter set?

This is a complete standalone rulebook; you don’t need anything else to play.

It is largely compatible with the starter set. The rules in Captain’s Log are streamlined compared to the starter.

On pages 85-88 you can roll for a random character focus. These rolls are 2d20 so results naturally will tend to be in the middle of the bell curve (20, 21, 22). But all the areas of focus are presented in the lists alphabetically. I would assume with an alphabetical list you would want an equal chance of each item?

These don’t seem consistent. The 2d20 rolls make sense for the task resolution mechanic but not for randomly selecting items on an alphabetical list. Is this an error? If not, why was it chosen? As written it tends to statistically favor items on the list that start with the letters in the middle of the alphabet.

Not an error. If the results using the method provided don’t work for your needs, feel free to use another method to generate a result, or select your preferred option from the matrices. Thanks for the question!

Update: We'll be randomizing the 2d20 focus tables (and the lone 3d20 table) in the next PDF revision cycle.

So traits are handled narratively? I did not see a part of the lifepath that included them. I did see them talked about. Just wanted to make sure. Ty. Really cool system so far.

The species you select serves as a trait, just as it does in STA. Klingon, Pakled, Vulcan, etc.

And yes, they're handled narratively.

The example on page 167 has a ship trait working like a focus? Are ship traits different or is this an error? I really find the traits to be very badly explained. I had settled on them working as a kind of permission allow positive and negative outcomes that would otherwise be impossible. Like an an android who can make a roll to try and move something too heavy for a human. But then I read that example and am totally lost again.

You’re correct; the example is in error. Landing struts is a trait enabling the ship to land. It wouldn’t act as a focus and wouldn’t impact the task attempt (other than to make it possible).

Will correct in errata, thanks!

Are the included solo rules portable enough that they could be used to play other 2d20 games solo (i.e. Fallout 2d20)?

Possibly? We were focused on Star Trek and didn’t test the ruleset with other IPs. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
