Roleplaying game

Aroleplaying game (commonly abbreviatedRPG) is an organized set of rules for simulating actions as characters in a fictional setting, in this case theStar Trekuniverse, with most particpants taking on the roles of such characters and usually one person administrating the game as moderator/referee/game-master.

To date have been several licensed Star Trek RPGs:

• Heritage Models'Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier
• Tsukuda Hobby'sEnterprise: Role Play Game in Star Trek
• FASA'sStar Trek: The Role Playing Game
• Last Unicorn'sStar Trek: The Next Generation Roleplaying Game,Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Roleplaying Game, andStar Trek Roleplaying Game
• Decipher'sStar Trek Roleplaying Game
• Mōdiphiüs'sStar Trek Adventures

Each typically has a core rules set and additional volumes or products providing additional material for wider areas of interest, prominent aliens, adventure scenarios and campaigns, etc.

Note: This list does not include secondary licensed games, such as the RPG set in theStar Fleet Battles universe. It also implicitly refers to human-moderated "paper and pencil" games.
