Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. A brilliant introduction into the universe of Alien role playing. The system is clean, well hinges, and the coupling of stress dice with mechanics to stimulate deterioration of function in life threatening situations was well thought out, and sensible. In some ways, and interesting premise and better than the sanity system for Call Of Cthulhu. I look forward to many more supplements, and support material, on creatures other than the Xeno morphs, and would like some concentration on the various corporate factions and states other than the United States. ( ) Coming out forty years after them original movie, this is the role-playing game. (Previous efforts were a board game and an adventure game, both based on the second movie.) It's a solid work, depicting the worlds and characters from the movies, and set up for cinematic style (one session adventures, with few if any survivors) or campaign play running over several sessions. A solid entry in the sci-fi/horror genre of games. no reviews | add a review

"Space is vast, dark, and not your friend. Gamma rays and neutrino bursts erupt from dying stars to cook you alive, black holes tear you apart, and the void itself boils your blood and seizes your brain. Try to scream and no one can hear you - hold your breath and you rupture your lungs. Space isn't as empty as you'd think, either - its frontiers are ever expanding. Rival governments wage a cold war of aggression while greedy corporations vie for valuable resources. Colonists reach for the stars and gamble with their lives - each new world tamed is either feast or famine. And there are things lurking in the shadows of every asteroid - things strange and different and deadly. Things alien. This is the official ALIEN tabletop roleplaying game - a universe of body horror and corporate brinkmanship, where synthetic people play god while space truckers and marines serve host to newborn ghoulish creatures. It's a harsh and unforgiving universe and you are nothing if not expendable. Stay alive if you can"--Back cover. No library descriptions found. |
