Perilous away team missions have a unique component to their tempo in the unique genre of Star Trek: there's often the opportunity to make a quick getaway in the form of a phone call to home base.

Good Evening folks! If I asked you, Is Dungeons And Dragons a "collaborative storytelling" Tabletop Role-Playing game? Is Call of Cthulhu a "Collaborative Storytelling" TTRPG ? There's a buzzword taking the Tabletop Role-Playing world by storm: "Collaborative Storytelling." At first it meant something pretty specific, referring to a new cohort of role-playing games that began to ask the players about parts of the setting and events beyond the mere reach of their characters. These games, like Powered By the Apocalypse (Dungeon World), FATE, and others had mechanics and concepts that brought this new remix of GM and Player roles into focus. A second wave of games like Shadowrun: Anarchy and Good Society (the Jane Austen RPG) have tried to capitalize on some of these ideas, to...mixed success. But this video is not about that.... The phrase "Collaborative Storytelling" has gotten to be an inflated buzzword in the intervening years. First we saw Paizo hitch its wagon to the phrase in its promotion of Pathfinder 2E. Then I started to hear more and more about how players had an expectation that there were parts of the setting and world in their D&D games that were malleable to their desires (perhaps outside of the normal tempo of sessions...seems okay to me, if it suit's a group's style.) But now I'm hearing that this ACTUAL PRACTICE of inviting players to create stuff in the world, in the middle of sessions, is becoming a part of...even an expectation of the players...in games FAR afield of where it fits well. Namely, Call of Cthulhu. excuse the shenanigans with the sherlock clip. it was neccessary...for reasons owing to the platform we're on... ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XwgQeq1T-co
