Past Games and Activities
Traveller (classic)
Traveller is a premier science fiction tabletop RPG focusing on space exploration, interstellar trade, and combat within the human-dominated Third Imperium. Known for its realistic, high-stakes sandbox gameplay, it uses a skill-based system and 2d6 mechanics. Characters are defined by career lifepaths rather than levels.
Terraforming Mars
Terraforming Mars is a 1–5 player competitive engine-building game where players manage corporations to make Mars habitable. Over several rounds ("generations"), players use resources to play project cards, increase global parameters (temperature, oxygen, oceans), and build cities/forests to earn the highest terraforming rating and victory.
Star Trek Adventures RPG - The Celestial Algorithm
Star Trek Adventures is a cooperative tabletop role-playing game set in the universe of Star Trek. Players take on the roles of Starfleet officers serving aboard a starship, working together to complete missions involving exploration, diplomacy, and scientific discovery. Using the game’s 2d20 system, players attempt tasks, overcome challenges, and make story-driven decisions as they investigate mysteries like those found in the starter scenario “The Celestial Algorithm.”
Merchant of Venus
Merchant of Venus is a board game set in an unexplored part of the galaxy during a reawakening of galactic civilization. Players move around the board as traders discovering long forgotten pockets of civilization and buying and selling goods. The game can be played by 1 - 6 players. The aim of the game is to acquire a set amount of wealth ($1000, $2000, $3000 or $4000). The first player to hold the required amount in cash and deeds is declared the winner.
Warhammer 40,000
Warhammer 40,000 is a tabletop miniature wargame set in a dystopian science fiction future where massive armies clash across war torn worlds. Players build, customize, and command armies made up of detailed miniature soldiers, creatures, and vehicles, battling opponents on terrain filled tabletops that represent futuristic battlefields. Using dice, strategy, and faction specific abilities, players take turns moving units, engaging in combat, and completing mission objectives.
