Reception
In a review of Star Trek Adventures in Black Gate, Patrick Kanouse said:
Overall, Star Trek Adventures is an excellent system with rich but simple mechanics that support the feel of a Star Trek game. Modiphius done a superb job, and any wishing to play in the Star Trek universe should take a look at this game system. I look forward to my own gaming group's continuing missions.
In a 2024 review of the 2nd edition for Forbes, Rob Wieland wrote:
The original edition of Star Trek Adventures focused on older media in the franchise because it came out during something of a fallow period for the IP. This book includes content from the popular shows that have come out more recently The second edition focuses more on feeling like Star Trek, which I already thought the first edition did well. Star Trek Adventures Second Edition is a great jumping on point for new fans while also making changes to the rules fans of the original edition will find mostly painless.
James Amey for Trek Central wrote:
it’s clear that the 2E rulebook was built with fan feedback at the forefront of the design process. It’s leaps and bounds ahead of the previous book in the areas that count. Accessibility, readability and structure.
