- Join me, Peter, as I dive into the chilling and intense universe of the Alien role-playing game by Free League Publishing. In this series, we explore the dark, unforgiving world of space horror where survival is uncertain, and danger lurks around every corner.
Episode 1: Character Generation
In this premiere episode, we create our crew and outline our first mission. Our crew faces the unknown as we encounter strange signals and mysterious artifacts. Will we survive the encounter with the deadly xenomorphs, or will we become their next victims? You can only know by watching the campaign unfold.
I delve into the unique mechanics of the Alien RPG, focusing on stress levels, panic rolls, and the survival horror elements that set this game apart. Expect heart-pounding tension, difficult choices, and a narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Game Mechanics Spotlight
Throughout the episode, I will highlight key game mechanics, including the use of dice pools, stress and panic mechanics, and the cinematic versus campaign play styles. I will also share tips and strategies for solo play, ensuring an immersive and thrilling experience.

Went to RUclips looking for a cosy solo rpg video and ended up with a new series of Red Dwarf. What a result!
LOL my pleasure.
Oh cool I’ve been looking forward to you covering the aliens rpg
I’ve waited so long for someone to try alien solo! ThAnks for uploading
My pleasure there’s lots more where that came from. And very soon. Blade Runner.
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas subscribed 👍
Another excellent start to a campaign. When you said familiar crew, I thought you were going to resurrect Cap’n Jack and co. as sci fi characters but the Red Dwarf crew fits perfectly; well apart from Rimmer. I hear he’s a real smeg-head! I’m very keen to see how this plays out. 😃
Well they quite drift from the comedic Red Dwarf crew as quite quickly I work out that doesn't fit the genre but it was a good plan :D
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Yes, that was bound to happen, given the genre of Alien, but using the RD crew is an excellent way to hook yourself as a solo player into the campaign. I look forward to seeing how it goes.
Loving the Red Dwarf bit. You've got to have the coming in contact with Gelfs 😂
😂
Captain Pete heads to ssppaaaccceee, luv it. Please forgives as I try to get caught up on your content again. Still need help with Blade Runner?
I do. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And always forgiven my friend 😁
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas can I email ya about it?
Of course... hollowpondssolosagas@gmail.com will get to me...
Nice! I've been thinking about getting the Alien RPG, so this the perfect primer!
It’s good. I’d think with the expansions as well you will have enough material to play a very long time.
What about McGruder? 🙂 Red Dwarf, timeless classic. Hey, where did you get the solo rules from? (Love your videos, keep 'em coming you Smeg Head).
From the parts per million website. If you sign up for the newsletter they (well he) sends them.
From when alien rpg dropped for the first time, every 3 months I’ve googled “Alien rpg space trucker campaign”. I can’t wait to watch this!
So it maybe drifts away from a pure trucker campaign but I am planning to do a more pure campaign using Hostile as the game system.
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas tell me why I just found Hostile Solo today lol!
Cant wait for this lmao
Get in there! Here we go :). Looking forward to se what the crew of the Red Dwarf encounter in uncharted deep space. Blade Runner Core book and Starter set is 50% until 1/7 at FL right now (maybe you already knew that) :)
Hey you went early door thank you heaps for your support
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Looking forward to it 😀.
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas You Sir are an inspiration :). I enjoy watching the adventures, laughing with and at Qwackbane and feeling the terror in CoC, and at the same time picking up tips and tricks on how to progress and build my own solo adventures. So having fun online as well as offline 😀
And thats why I upgraded my membership 😁.
And it´s a bit strange that the character sheet has no place to note down money. I use the backside of the sheets. Two rows; one for the money on the card and one row for physical cash :)
@Phenixfox75 very kind words thank you very much. 🙏🏾
So have you been working on your Liverpudlian? 😅
Sadly not LOL
I’m going to be disappointed if Kryten never initiates Smug Mode!
😂
I look forward to this as I love the system and Blade Runner. Though I am eagerly awaiting your return to Twilight 2000.
Week after next T2K will return and I’ll be doing Blade Runner when the solo rules get released (I backed them so will play them as soon as I can) and I get the Blade Runner base game which I missed the sale of as I was still recovering financially from returning home to Europe 😁 executive summary: watch this space lol
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas I backed the Replicant KS too. I've enjoyed the system so far but haven't had much of a chance to play. I backed a fair number of nostalgia based KS games which I need to find time to play including Terminator. I look forward to this next session and the return!
@bruceford6133 Terminator! Outstanding…
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Any plans to return to The Walking Dead soon?
That is an interesting system but it can get a bit heavy and dark.
@bruceford6133 yes. I feel that story isn’t finished and I’ve been thinking about the direction and I think we have enough leads from series one to maybe if the dice fall well take it somewhere interesting BUT out of TWD cannon. More into the Arisen series of books if you know them?
Your playlist is all out of whack you need to organize with oldest at the top and newest at the bottom so it plays in the right order. Right now they are all over the place.
Will do. I’ll take I look see.
Took a look see. So issue is everytime one is added it goes to the top automatically. Let me have a play
So I’ve ordered them oldest at the top. But. If you have sorting on it may throw that out as far as I know. Have a look see.
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Yep. Should be a setting to add new videos to the bottom instead. It looks like you already cleaned some of it up. Before the order was 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 7, 10, 8, 11, 1, 2. Now just 11 is at the top.
@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Looks good now, thank you!
Looks complicated
Hello. Which bit? It falls between twilight 2000 and TWD. It abstracts less but is no more complex then the other year zero systems.
Aliens RPG is by far one of the easiest RPG’S to get into. The rules are very light and when you get into it, it’s super fast. Although whenever you run a solo play campaign does get hard to keep track of everything. But simply you have 8 films to draw from along with 20 or so novels. So there’s plenty to do and with all the world and mission tables they give you. You can have missions that last an hour or a world management game that lasts you weeks. There’s so much versatility!
Agree 100% and combat flows like a film and just demands graphic descriptions.
