Here are the details of my games at North Star VII, taking place at the Garrison Hotel in Hillsborough, Sheffield.
The first game on the Saturday afternoon is a re-running of my Star Trek game ‘Star Trek Legacy: Conspiracy’, using Fria Ligan’s Year Zero Engine. The precise setting in the timeline are the continuing voyages of the Starship Enterprise-G, following on from the third series of Star Trek: Picard. It will have some old favourites available as player characters as well as some the new cast to keep it exciting. You don’t have to have seen the latest Star Trek TV shows to play.
The game was first premiered at Furnace XVIII last October.
My second game is Fria Ligan’s Alien RPG, ‘Alien - Beauty is Not Only Skin Deep’. This game was scheduled to play at North Star V in 2022. However, the Railway strikes disrupted my transportation home late in the evening so I had to cancel the game.
This scenario has fully equipped, armed and armoured Colonial Marines on a live-fire training mission on a remote and distant planet. With android and robotic opposition it is a no-holds barred series of encounters where the PCs can go all hung-ho. Of course, nothing is quite what it seems.

We were on route to Pacifica when we were interrupted by a Code 47 (Captain’s Eyes Only) call from Starfleet Admiralty. I’ve been ordered to take the Enterprise to the Perintha system, site of the Iconian Research Taskforce. There are no further details to the orders but my intuition is that they are wanting to send the Enterprise through the ancient Iconian Catapult Device in orbit of Perintha Prime to be thrown instantaneously beyond the known Galaxy to the distant outreaches of deep space.
Nothing new for me then!

“Tench-Hut! Listen up people, eyes front and centre. Officer on deck!”
“You rabble, you wastes of skin, you’re a shower, unfit to be called marines.”
“You did so poorly on that last mission that the whole squad is going on a live-round training mission. We’re going to put you through the wringer, as you’ll get no help nor support until you come out triumphant on the other side!”
“Oorah!”
“Your opposition? Drones and Working Joes. You’re going to be fighting androids. You’re on toaster clean up duty!”
