Regarding a third season, I know you have said itās possible. What is your level of confidence? Is this now just like any other show on Netflix awaiting a season pickup if it does well?
Kevin Hageman: I would guess more than doing well. We donāt know anything about season 3 yet. But what from what I see of Netflix when they do pickup shows for a season 3, which is very rare, itās not about doing well, it has to do gangbusters.
Dan Hageman: Most things only get 2 seasons.
Kevin Hageman: I think itās going to be a real challenge. And I think it has to be bigger than just the Star Trek audience watching it as much as they can. Itās about breaking into kids who are [not already fans]
Dan Hageman: But letās also put it into perspective. Lower Decks is five seasons, but those seasons are 10 episodes. Ours is 20 episodes. We got 40 episodes. Itās a lot of content out there. So it kind of comes down to: are there large watch-throughs of the season? Whereās the appetite? Do people want more Prodigy? Obviously, Kevin and I want more Prodigy. But happy with how we left things off at the end of the season 2. We feel like thereās a nice place to stop, but also a new adventure to pick up if we want to.
Kevin Hageman: Doing a show like this is not cheap, doing 20 episodes. So, my hope is we get a great-sized audience, but if itās not big enough to warrant another season, thereās always option B. Which would be, letās do a 90-minute animated film, the sequel which could start the film franchise.
Our group played this system for a short bit. We loved the social combat system and the pooled resources. A good DM can absolutely make it feel like a Star Trek episode.
Our problem with the system, is that you have to play the lawfull good guys for it to work well; just like a Star Trek episode. Our group likes to play morally grey.
You don't have to play the good guys for the system to work, the same system is used for Dune - Adventures in the Imperium, and that's a setting about as morally grey as it gets. Even with Star Trek Adventures, there is the Klingon Core Rulebook if you want to be a bit more rowdy than your typical Starfleet officers. The Operations Division sourcebook has suggestions for playing as Section 31 as well.
