Recap
"Sculptor of the Mind" is one of the few non-Dave Biggins adventures on
TrekRPG.net. Based on the TOS episode "Dagger of the Mind", the basic
plot is that a Romulan team has taken over a Federation Penal Colony
near the Neutral Zone, in order to conduct mind control experiments on
human subjects. Some of the prisoners managed to escape and send out a
distress signal, which the Discovery picks up.
This episode is rather long and intricate, with tight timing for lots
of players. There's supposed to be one character on the ship
commanding, with the away team split up into two groups and all three
interacting with the story. The problem is this is summer and not that
many people show up. Two weeks ago there were five players but not
enough time to run this episode. This week I had lots of time but only
three players and only four players expected next week. That and I've
plotted this season out so I can't really replace one adventure with
another. So eventually I resigned myself to running this episode and
not getting the full effect.
Present were Clancy (Shannon), Krystal (Donald) and Venor (Pick). This
season the skill tests have been changed into four skill rolls plus
some light roleplaying. The four skill rolls are one point each (and
Clancy got three of the points) and the roleplaying deals with each
character's department. Clancy is slowly building team spirit with a
combination guest lectures and fun activities. Krystal is having
problems with her group, with one complaint that she is mis-using her
mind powers. Nothing for Venor this week.
