I just discovered Kobold Press's Black Flag Role Playing system and Tales of the Valorant game being made. I had no idea that was a thing.

Added with the ones I did know about:

Critical Role's Daggerheart
MCDM's new RPG (Matt Colville's company)
And we can count the Pathfinder 2's updates if we want

I wonder how many other RPG's are being made as a result of that debacle.

It does seem like a lot. WotC really shot themselves in the foot spawning all this new competition, didn't they?

Are you using the official Star Trek TTRPG? I definitely want to run something with the Lower Decks book for my party at some point. Maybe next First Contact Day

Star Trek Adventures? Yeah! It's a great book. It takes a little bit to wrap your head around, as it's a little abstract in some places, but once you get it, it's simple to play and works very well for emulating an episode of Star Trek.

I had used Mongoose's Traveller in the past, but ST:A is a far better system for the purpose.
