Would love to talk more about Star Trek Adventures. I’ve only done one campaign with it, but it felt very clunky and Captain-heavy (the rest of the crew often felt like they were supposed to be excited if they got to push one button during a session). It could also have just been our GM - I found his style very frustrating.
So excited for Bloodstained Shade and the audiobook release date! Since your contract with Audible was independent of the DAW contract, how optimistic are you about securing audiobooks for future Aven titles not covered by the initial 3-audiobook contract?
I've really enjoyed ST:A so far! Our game is designed a little atypically. The players each have one bridge character and one "Lower Decks" type character. Our usual GM plays the Captain, and only brings her in when necessary. So, we keep a pretty good balance of who's central to the action. We also have the option to switch who GMs for an "episode". None of us have been brave enough to take the reins yet, but I think one of my fellow players is going to soon!
As to Audible, I am not at all confident about securing future audiobooks, lol. The contract was independent, but it only really existed *because* there was a DAW contract, and since I haven't earned any of the audiobooks out yet, it's unlikely there will be demand for more. But you never know!

The GM doubling as Captain? I love that idea - it probably helps with a lot of the issues we ran into.
Fingers crossed for future audiobooks!
