#AlienRPG

Es könnte sein, dass ich mir gestern den Sichtschirm der Spielleiterin von Alien RPG im Nerdladen meines Vertrauens in physischer Form gekauft habe und nach langem Herumschleichen soeben das Regelwerk für Alien RPG als PDF, nachdem es ja aktuell bei Ulisses runtergesetzt ist 🫣

Ich habe unsere Schnupperrunde #AlienRPG gespielt, bevor ich Romulus gesehen habe. Mein Fehler damals: Zu wenig auf den Low Tech Ansatz eingegangen.

"Also, mein SC würde sich gerne die Karte des Raumschiffs vom Terminal runterladen - er hat doch bestimmt ein Tablet oder so."

Richtige Antwort wäre gewesen: "Nee, da liegt ein Klemmbrett. Mit ner Klarsichthülle. Kannst dir die Karte abpausen. Vom Röhrenbildschirm."

Continued thread

A dying oligarch has expended billions to prolong his life. But the procedures and technologies are no longer sufficient to extend it further.

Having heard of "the perfect organism", he commissions the group to capture one such specimen, so that it can be studied, its DNA potentially revealing the secret to everlasting life.

Regardless of how unstable, unpredictable or risky that "cure for death" might be, the oligarch will take it in order to attain immortality.

A drop-ship leaves the group on the snow-covered surface of an ice planet, plagued by strong winds. The group's goal is to bring supplies to a research station a few kilometres away.

When they arrive there, they find the station obliterated. With sparse resources, in an unforgiving climate, they must make their way to the next outpost before they freeze to death.

On their way, they notice suggestions of moving shapes in the distance that seem to be following them.

As part of TTRPG prep for Alien RPG, I've started listening to Alien audiobooks during my walks.

The one I'm currently listening to, is "The complete Aliens collection – Living Nightmares", (that contains "Aliens: Infiltrator", "Aliens: Phalanx", and "Aliens: Vasquez") and clocks in at a whooping 35.5 hours.

@arstechnica Alien is a rough franchise to be a fan of.
Alien: fuckin' brilliant.
Aliens: brilliant.
Alien3: kinda shit.
Resurrection: total shit.
Prometheus: disappointing shit.
Covenant: so shit, I stopped watching after 20 mins.
Romulus: didn't even bother.

The dark horse era comics are a mixed bag, but there are some good ones.
The #alienrpg by Fria Ligan is fucking excellent.
