A GAME IN THE RODDENBERRY VISION

If you were at the convention in Las Vegas last year, you probably saw the introduction of Star Trek Timelines, from Boston-based Disruptor Beam, Inc. Unlike other games in the Star Trek universe, this one will allow you to explore the galaxy and even resolve conflict instead of having to just shoot things. You’ll be able to discover the Final Frontier from your computer, tablet, or mobile device!

Today, we’ll learn more from Timelines Lead Designer Tim Crosby and Principal Game Designer David Heron who chat about everything from concept, game play, and even their own personal love of Star Trek as fans.

Then, Bill and Dan discuss their favorite (and their not-so-favorite) Star Trek games over the years across a variety of platforms. It’s an All-Gaming Edition of the Trek Geeks Podcast, so line up your Code Red, your Doritios, and get ready to hit Start…it’s GAME ON, and we’ve got next!
