just bought the core rulebook, if i want to play (not as a gm), will i need to purchase any of the supplementals?

Corporal Hicks

No, that should be enough. Though I love the themed dice.

No. I'd already played some demos, so I knew about it going in.


And ordered my bundle :)

Kailem

Is the starter kit even something that's worth getting if you already own the full game, or is it aimed mostly at people who don't?

Corporal Hicks

I'd think it's aimed mostly at the people who don't, but Shevvie convinced me with it being a shorter, perhaps almost "quick" guide and the extra goodies (the dice along are almost the same price as the boxset) that it was worth it.

Glad you enjoyed it! Certainly endeavouring to do more!

Kradan

Oh yeah, I enjoyed it a lot ! It felt really engaging, like a real in-universe ongoing story.

Theres a discord for this? :O

here you go: https://discord.gg/hSQkUTJ (assuming it's ok to link this? ???)

Gemini

has anyone actually ran a session based around any of the Alien movies yet? or is that too obvious?
could be kinda cool though. experiencing the colony as part of Hope's Last Day is cool enough, actually being part of Aliens even cooler.
remember to give Hudson a good Comtech skill!

could be kind of a parallel universe version of the story. "here's how it could've gone down"

I think the marines could have won the day with a couple of decisions being more effective, and a bit more luck (if that first dropship had made it..)

Schrödinger

For those with the materials, what size are the maps and can you use minis with them (2 Inch Base)?

Mr. Clemens

No, the maps are schematics much like you see in the films. But you could map out key areas yourself based on them, for minis play.
