Episode 72: Aaron Pollyea

We are joined this week by Aaron Pollyea, chief engineer for Star Trek Adventures by Modiphius. We talk about his process of starting out nearly all of the starships of the game. Even more interestingly, Aaron shares with us his personal and professional story of how he became a scientist and then master of starships. We even dove into some serious talk about historical reenacting.

Although Aaron's work can be seen in all of the Star Trek Adventures sourcebooks, most notable is:

Utopia Planitia Starfleet Sourcebook

Aaron Pollyea has a background in astronomy and physics, but currently has a day job dealing with climate change and its intersection with agriculture. He has been a life-long Star Trek fan, and has been working as a freelance writer for Star Trek Adventures since it began. In his free time, Aaron may be found gazing through his telescope, reading a good book, or doing historical reenacting with his wife.
