New from LeVar Burton: TAKE MY WORD FOR IT, a memoir celebrating a life devoted to stories. I grew up with Reading Rainbow and Star Trek: The Next Generation, and I've always admired LeVar's curiosity, kindness, and love of stories. Congratulations, LeVar and Tracey michae'l Lewis-Giggetts! 🖖📚
Has a Star Trek Adventures mystery ever stalled at your table while the theories piled up? My new Continuing Mission piece, "Follow the Nouns," offers a five-step fix: investigate the persons, places, and things. The link is in the reply. What noun tends to crack your cases?
Big news, Trek folks: the book I've been teasing is STAR TREK TIMELINES, a 336-page DK hardcover on the full history of Trek, Big Bang to end of universe. With Derek Tyler Attico, Kelli Fitzpatrick, Jim Johnson; foreword by Kate Mulgrew. Out Nov 24. Preorders open wherever books are sold.
Canon Is a Springboard, Not a Cage — my new Continuing Mission piece is live today. Mapping the timeline for Star Trek Timelines (@dkbooks.bsky.social) taught me canon works best at the table as a springboard, not a fence. The link is in the reply. How do you use canon in your game?
41 Threat. Zero spent. My players feared a pile of tokens more than any monster. New on Continuing Mission: Pile On the Threat and Don't Spend It. continuingmissionsta.com/2026/10/27/p...

When you're used to the door only opening one way, fairness can start to feel like exclusion. David Mack (@davidmack.pro) and I dug into that in our Continuing Conversations conversation — and Star Trek has been wrestling with it for sixty years. The full episode link is in the comments.

Captain's Log 2026 ships out this month — Oct 30. I was lead writer on the solo Star Trek Adventures game, and my new Substack piece is about how I actually play it: open the complication tables and lean on the rolls. trekstorian.substack.com/p/captains-l...
60 years. Four centuries of Star Trek. One week living in one era — which do you pick: Archer's 22nd, Kirk's 23rd, Picard's 24th, or Burnham's 32nd? I helped map all of them for Star Trek Timelines (out Nov 24, @dkbooks.bsky.social) and still can't decide. Convince me.

Your Starfleet officer doesn't need trauma to be interesting. Trauma and scars are great character tools — they're just not the only ones. New on Continuing Mission. Link in first reply.
Time travel in Trek isn't a plot device, it's a lifestyle. Slingshot around the sun, the Guardian of Forever, the Bell Riots, transparent aluminum in 1986. STAR TREK TIMELINES charts it all — out Nov 24 from DK, foreword by Kate Mulgrew. Favorite time travel incident? @dkbooks.bsky.social

At Fan Expo I met Kate Mulgrew, forgot my whole rehearsed speech, and all I managed was: "Miss Mulgrew, I don't know how you do this." She looked me in the eye and said thank you. @thekatemulgrew.bsky.social @dattico.bsky.social @kellifitzwrites.bsky.social @ineti.bsky.social
Captain Janeway wrote the foreword to our book. Well, Kate Mulgrew did — close enough to make my inner cadet stand at attention. STAR TREK TIMELINES (out Nov 24 from DK) opens with her foreword. @thekatemulgrew.bsky.social @dattico.bsky.social @kellifitzwrites.bsky.social @ineti.bsky.social
Love having @idwpublishing.com talent in my show.

I've read the first issue of Christopher Cantwell's new Star Trek series from IDW, and I think the best way to describe what he's trying to do comes directly from Chris:
