Loved how well Chaplain channeled Bishop! One thing I would have liked to see in this is the map, just because it helps me as a viewer to visualize the environment better. Also, even if someone accomplishes their personal agenda during an act, you aren't supposed to award story points until after the act (since doing so can spoil personal agendas for subsequent acts). Still, great show! Not a lot of folks have shown this module off, so it's nice to see it done well here.
P.S. where did you get those weapon macros? I'd love to use those!
EDIT: Also noticed a few more rules errors that may have changed things quite a bit. The cutting torch actually DOES have a weapon profile, and you have to roll for power after every use. Also, armor piercing doesn't ignore armor outright, it merely halves the number of dice you would normally roll for armor (so a Xenomorph with armor 8 would roll 4 dice).
Man my Hammer only brought his Pulse Rifle. But he sat by the door all the same. Good stuff.
Love the Chaplain character! Or should I say “artificial person” 😂
Aww, Thank you!
I know this is old but many rules mistakes were made. And PDTs don't exactly work like that lol. They can be turned off.
we know this response is late, but thank you for the feedback! On this channel and some of our friends channels we've learned a lot about the system, and anything to help us play it correctly is appreciated :)
i really wanna play this
It's a ton of fun! We highly reccommend it.
@@CannonOtterStudio cant find anybody to play with lol
What are you guys using for those macros and files? I'm curious as I'm about to host this exact game online and that would help immensely.
The GM mic isn't working.
Warning: THIS IS A NERDGASM...... This campaign seems to delve into the black goo of the Alien prequels… I have an issue with the last several Alien movies as well as some of the books based on the proposed screen plays for the sequels. I just did not care for the black goo idea… we see that in too many sci-fi staples and it was part of the X-Files… I also did not like the idea that the engineers made us and the xenomorphs… and that the engineers were, well, just violent and evil. Too many other fun things to use. There is a cornucopia of books/comics, however, that work well in favor of the Alien universe. I do not care for Alien 4, Prometheus, and Covenant; albeit their art direction is fantastic… The Prometheus ship and how the Covenant looks like a mobile colony with serious similarities to the construction and lines of the main building in Hadley’s Hope. In other words it lands, doubles as a base of operations to build the colony and functions as a temp colony… very efficient. I ran a campaign years back using Savage Worlds and before that Champions… (I had to make several character templates for the later as character design is quite involved and the game was somewhat lethal!) I took the liberty of combining other movies that are likely in the same universe as Alien… A few of them fit if you…strain your eyes just a bit…others are painfully obvious…but some internal dates and times of the events of each must be shuffled a bit!
Here is a list of films I used as in the same universe as Alien and Aliens (not the other sequels in story…sorry) Predator {all}, Blade Runner, Saturn 3, Terminator, Space Above and Beyond, Commando, Die Hard, Soldier, Moon 44, Pitch Black {all}, Critters {4}, The Black Hole, Firefly, Total Recall [1990], Space Hunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone, Dead Space {1991}, Within the Rock, Outland, Prospect {2018}. Some would even say that Screamers, Ad Astra, and even space truckers (lol and if you squint really hard) would fit.]… Oh and Buffy the Vampire Slayer… see below
Predator is a given considering that we have them in cannon and see the merger of the Weyland and Yutani corporation in those moves (some hate them other like them, I’m in the later of the categories but will say AVPR was a hot mess)…
We see a large gun in Predator carried by Blaine… a minigun that reappears in Terminator 2 and has the same markings…This is a loose fit but…considering the time shifts nobody would really be the wiser… Every nerd salivated at the site of the xenomorph skull in the predator ship during the last act of Predator 2… so we knew this was something of a precursor…too bad it took so long to finalize though… In Commando Val Verde is a fictional country… It is also a fictional country in Predator as well as Die Hard 2 where the drug lord General Esperanza was a heavy from that country… Hmm. A sound argument may be made that Dutch and Matrix from Predator and Commando are the same person… it is mentioned in Commando that Matrix’s squad received new identities to protect them from enemies garnered over years gone by…
It also may be argued that Skynet used its access to military records to formulate a template for the 800 series Terminator…as his build fit the chassis of the robot. Additionally, all military personnel have their DNA on file… (I know this from personal experience)… so cloning his flesh would be no issue. This may have no immediate significance on a campaign but could be interesting back story and could lead to distant relatives of these characters who may have some account of the predator passed to them from great, great, grandpa or may even have artifacts…that may or may not have led to the design of the androids in Alien…
In Firefly a targeting computer has the Weyland Yutani logo on it… sooooo …
In the 1st episode of the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series we see a Fire Fly Class Transport on Caprica!
Despite not liking or acknowledging Prometheus as a part of the cannon I use (with the exception to perhaps some characters and the ships, not the events)… the Prometheus extras on blue ray shows a screen one which there is a screed typed out on a video screen that ties Tyrell corporation to Weyland/Yutani referring in certain terms to Replicants.
In the Buffy spinoff Angel there is the law firm of Wolfram and Hart…in the episode “Harms Way” we discover that Weyland/Yutani are one of their clients…(funny)…
I did not have Weyland Yutani as a global power although they were like Black Rock today in a sense they were still under the laws (sorta) of the major warring governments of the Earth and they also had total governance over some planetary colonies they established so they were powerful. I had many other companies… I have not read the new Alien RPG book but I hear it has Cyberdyne in it? That is from Terminator…if I recall correctly. In my campaign there is lore of a few companies and private individuals who ventured into space on long hyper-sleep treks to distance themselves from the death throes of humanity… I used some of the ships seen in the Black Hole to depict this. I even threw in some Stargate into my campaign as it made good fodder for the corporations and squabbling governments of the sphere to fight over!... and it provided an expedient way for xenos to infect a planet… (Insert maniacal grin). I also had a thought that perhaps another Skynet like A I comes around and decided to use the xenos as a termination protocol… never got to that point… last session was a massive space and ground battle over a gate that a swarm had poured thru… rival companies and governments had to rally and fight as one to stave it off. Cheers.
Wow! Your game sounds very interesting and creative. Your players must have had a ton of fun, no doubt. Tying those different movie universes together sounds like a blast. Goes to show how versatile the Alien setting can actually be. Thanks for sharing!
