Merry Christmas and welcome to a special holiday edition of Strange New Pod.

Julian sits down with Jim Johnson, Project Manager for Star Trek Adventures at Modiphius, for an overdue and insightful conversation about the past, present, and future of STA.

They discuss Jim’s background and love of theater, reflect on how Star Trek Adventures Second Edition has grown since its 2024 launch, and why the Starter Set remains such a strong entry point for new players. The episode also touches on the game’s place in today’s expanding TTRPG scene, recent releases like the Technical Manual and Exploration Guide, and the latest mission brief collection, Five Year Missions.

The conversation wraps with a look ahead at what 2026 holds for Star Trek Adventures. A perfect listen for the holidays and for anyone ready to boldly go.
