On a fateful day in 2021 an idea was born. A crazy GM with an obsession with Star Trek and Role-Playing Games floated a mere suggestion: “If I ran a Star Trek Adventures TTRPG who would be interested?” Little did he know what he was getting himself into!
Thus, To Boldly Roll was born. The fledgling RPG would at first focus upon the USS Potemkin, an aging Excelsior Class with a rich history and an impressive combat record. Her Captain just as old as the ship and ready to do some exploring.
The cast were all new to the system and we would stumble, throughout those early years the sim would lose players and gain new ones, but would continue to Boldly Roll into new adventures with each session. As the seasons and years passed, we fell in love with the game, our characters, and the story.
As with all things though, change happens! In our case, after five very successful seasons of play, we said goodbye to the Potemkin, her long history drawing to a close, her story having been told. Next our bold crew embarked on two more seasons aboard the USS Wabi Sabi, a shiny new Excelsior II Class.
After seven seasons (amounting to four years and one hundred game sessions!) of virtual table top play in the Star Trek universe, player interest waned, not so much for lack of stories, friendship, or creativity but for players looking for a new challenge and a fresh page to turn. Thus, in late 2024 we placed the Wabi Sabi on the shelf and picked up our new adventure: Stargate! So, now we go boldly into 2025 with a new system and new characters. Players both experienced and new are already loving the danger and the exploration, confronting galactic evils and the very real (in game) threat of death and destruction. The membership of the sim has now gained a few more regular players and has room for a few more, too!
Now we explore the Galaxy through a Stargate rather than a starship!
To Boldly Roll welcomes you to Phoenix Base and Phoenix 6!

End of Year Report 2022
While the Potemkin is now nearing the end of her 3rd year (March ’23) this year has been our first full year of running. We have been very happy with our game play and stories, the Potemkin has been through a lot and her grow has grown in both skill level and emotional.
In our time we have had a total of 12 players with a current number of 7 active and 5 former. Even so, all players of the Potemkin have added to her story and overall Lore, The have faced great danger, welcomed a new member world to the Federation and travelled through time! They have wrestled with both the Prime Directive and Temporal Prime Directive, realising that at times morality sometimes clashes with the regulations.
In 2022 the crew of the Potemkin has written 44,187, which amounts to around 88.3 posts; in the same time we have had a total of 2,780.52 player hours, that’s a little under 115.8 days!
We move into the new year with high hopes, a new season starting soon and some new characters to expand upon the interesting and fun Lore the Potemkin forges every session.
