As a diehard canon nerd I found nothing that popped out as egregiously strange or incorrect–except for the multiple depictions of Klingons having purple blood. Not all of this is strictly derived from the established TV canon, but the authors didn’t make it up so much as interpret and fill in the gaps where necessary. The first seventy pages or more is just a Klingon-centric view of Star Trek history, including a deep dive into ancient Klingon past. Klingon Core Rulebook, Star Trek Adventuresīut everything you wanted to know about Klingons, and more importantly, all of the information you would need to run a Klingon campaign is included. Even without that though, there are plenty of other sources to draw Klingon stories and lore from-in fact, there are times throughout the book where they suggest specific episodes to watch that usually deal with what’s being outlined on the page. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though publisher Modiphius has the rights to the newer Star Trek shows, and Discovery’s specific Klingon look is never used, nor are the events of Discovery laid out in the lore. The rules accounts for these different looks, and in fact, uses the explanation that the show Enterprise gave for why some Klingons have smooth foreheads-there are even corresponding stat and talent differences.
In Star Trek: The Original Series they didn’t have the ridges that they’re known for now, and their appearance has been different almost every time Star Trek has reemerged in some fashion. Klingons have taken many forms over the years. Of course, there are those Klingons that would be dishonorable, and even villainous-and even the most noble of Klingon’s standard of conduct would still seem savage to those who dwell within the Federation. They’re noble warriors who value honor and have a code of conduct to follow. Klingons aren’t just bloodthirsty monsters, though.
Those with more Starfleet sensibilities may wonder why someone would want to run a campaign that’s all about Klingons.
