So what does it all say exactly if I may ask?

- Mar 04, 2021, 06:44:16 PMInteresting, is there any more indepth info about the Plagiarus Linesteres? And whether its a progenitor or a different variant altogether, also it is the precursor, when and how did Plagiarus Linesteres become Plagiarus Preapotens.
I know Covenant tells us David created the Alien, but I am curious on what the RPG's take on the lore is.

I am glad but, pity to hear you do not care for the idea, I think it's perfectly in line with Alien's main themes.

- Feb 26, 2021, 10:26:28 PMI haven't gotten to Phalanx and Into Charybdis yet, but I didn't care for all of the new stuff about the facehugger biology that was introduced in The Cold Forge. But if it's in the next books and the RPG then I guess that's the way it will be going forward

- Feb 26, 2021, 03:48:35 PMCorrect the terms do first appear with Alien The Cold Forge and carried on in Alex White's Alien Into Charybdis, Alien The RPG and it's continuations, and also other new media such as Scott Sigler's Phalanx.
The RPG Corebook also introduces "Plagiarus Linesteres" to distinguish and, describe the, Praetomorph or Stalker from Alien Covenant.
Although it does not bother distinguishing between varieties of Eggs and Facehuggers and Chestbursters much, apart from describing appearance, and noting the additional abilities of the Royalty.
