Anyone know where to find tabletop rpg guides online for free? I want the Star Trek Adventures books, but my usual book hunting sites aren't good for that sort of thing

Do you think video games have the same/similar benefits as offline play?
Concerning this, I have a few small thoughts
On the one hand, proof of the benefits of video games to skills like dexterity have been more than well documented, and they can also aid memory and provide other cognitive benefits. Not denying any of that, or trying to dismiss it. I am, however, a little worried about how it might affect the social element of play though, because of how such indirect interactions seems to warp how people socialize, you know? Personally, I think both are quite valuable and both should be enjoyed, but I still worry about how much video game play dominates the lives of some people over in person play

I do, however, think play is as important for adults as it is for children, even if less time must be dedicated to it
Speaking of games, anyone have Pulsar Lost Colony? Been meaning to play it, but I want a crew
