In Star Trek Adventures, your Department determines your proficiency between the different aspects of being a Starfleet officer. Whether you are a Security redshirt or an Ensign taking the Conn to fly the starship into a black hole, your character will specialize based on the different departments available during your commission.

What Starfleet department best fits your career path? Take your time... this is the Federation. We just want to see you reach your full potential.

    Also I love Lower Decks. And that episode is great as no one judges him for going back to what he loves even after everything. Even more they support him for being true to himself.

    I am now down to one third left of the nine sisters ocean gin and that, I have decided, is my cutoff for buying another bottle of booze because I want to have a lot of bottles in this cupboard for the aesthetic pleasure of it and also because a third of a bottle is perfect for going "fuck it might as well kill this tonight" should I actually host a nachspiel for the first time in forever

    I think I’d be in either science or engineering

    But most likely I wouldn’t be allowed within 1000 yards of Starfleet

    A vampire can’t harm a skeleton, there’s no blood. Conversely, a vampire can glamour or bite a werewolf. Likewise, a werewolf would go to town in a pile of bones.

    I mean, a vampire can't bite a skeleton, but it can still kick a skeleton's ass. Or a skeleton's lack of ass as it were.

    Maybe that's the skeleton's power. With no ass to kick it can't get its ass kicked.

    Skeleton clearly beats Vampire (lack of blood, constructed out of ideal staking material)

    Which means Werewolf must beat Skeleton which ok that makes sense.

    Vampire beating Werewolf is where the debating comes in. Without decently high level alacrity and silver bullets I just don't see it.

    95% of the time a werewolf is just a person who can hammer some stakes into a vampire too.

    Yeah but they don't need to as they can just casually dismember the vampire and then use the pieces to start bonfire
