Show Notes
In this Continuing Conversations episode, Michael Dismuke, Jim Johnson, and Alex Boer explore innovative ways to track character growth in Star Trek Adventures. Alex demonstrates his visual value-tracking system—using index card-style boxes and arrows to map how values evolve and generate determination through callbacks. The group discusses both digital (Obsidian, Google Sheets) and physical approaches to tracking mission logs, showing how these tools help players stay engaged with their character’s moral compass and choices. Together, they unpack how experienced players share determination, reset values between episodes, and use milestones to develop both main and supporting characters—bringing deeper emotional continuity to every mission.
