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 [has] 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. ^[26]

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. ^[4]

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. ^[13]
