Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.


If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

I had to give this a think. This is what has to be in Riker's head, every game. Each player has a critical flaw that must be exploited.

  • Worf is going to make a lot of bold moves and will double-down on a bet. Even if it's bad. Even if he's obviously bluffing. Doing otherwise is basically surrendering.
  • Data will play the odds, every time. He's getting better at reading blood pressure and facial expressions, but this means you can misdirect him pretty easily.
  • Deanna can read your emotional state so just keep thinking about that last shore-leave on Risa. She can also get overwhelmed with a lot of "loud" emotions at the table, so antagonize Worf every so often; works great.
  • Geordi might be tempted to abuse his visor, so pay attention to how he reads the table. For some reason, he starts making mistakes whenever holodecks enter the conversation.
