grabbed a romulus drone just last week. Very good sculpts.

Not a fan of their takes on Big Chap so far but whoever they are, they're improving.

lots of time for them to change the designs.
But they are consistent with how the alien is presented in interior art for this new edition (badly).

Exactly this, it's the representation of a specific xenomorph from the art. Possibly an animal hybrid or genetic experiments again. Even they, the front of the face is so round and ugly that it's surprising. Anybody wanting good Alien XX121 minis, I implore them to go and check out the newer, recent stuff from Papsikels. They got perfect Queens, new Praetorians, Drones, Warriors, Runners, Romulus Drones and the Neca versions of the Kenner Mantis and Gorilla. All in multiple poses, with lots of people making them and shipping them out or you can just buy the STLs/Patreon and get the files for yourself.

The rest of the RPG I'm really excited for though. Some of the new rule previews I'm not too fond of, some are literally what me and other GMs have been houseruling already, so I'll be mixing and matching a combo of old and new rules. But I do like that everything will be cross-compatible regarding the adventures.

I like most of his sculpts but the patreon format and being print files means I just can't be f**ked dealing with any of it.

skhellter

that's the great thing.
you don't have to deal with the patreon or the print files..
(just go to an etsy shop. lots of peeps 3d print them and sell them)

I'm like 99% sure there are sellers in Australia that could ship it over to you for relatively cheap (compared to other official minis).


Mr. Clemens

I like the new layout. It looks like a document that might exist IN the world of Alien. Also, white pages means fewer visible fingerprints.

Not keen on the Alien miniatures either, though I don't think I'd use miniatures for an Alien game, anyway - they'd diminish the fear factor.

Slutty Badger

For some reason, the timeline still states that Origae-6 is in Sector 87. Hope that's corrected on release.

Zazeren

Anyone got a clear picture of the cool cover from hope's last day in the RPG?


The one where the giant Xenomorph is standing over 3 people

Still Collating...

I don't think that pic has been released yet, on its own.

Post-resurrection era inspired by the AVP and titan books but without the crazy time jump

I took some elements from the adventure game for the setting

After the Auriga incident spurred a secession crisis that led to the fall of the United Systems, Weyland-Yutani quickly reestablished its supremacy through the restoration of Earth through terraforming and the introduction of Drop-Hole technology, which utilized wormholes for instantaneous travel between various star systems of the rapidly-expanding human sphere.

In the following years, the nations of Earth have lost much of their power, and multinational and multi-stellar megacorporations have reasserted themselves as the rulers of Humanity. Although large-scale warfare has been avoided, there is constant strife among corporations and nations, as well as with the many colonies that have been established in the new colonization boom.

In the midst of the chaos, the Colonial Marine Corps stands as Humanity's peacekeeping force, moving among the stars and trying to keep Humanity safe from the dangers of space, and most importantly from itself. And now, on a minor world, the greatest enemy of all has been reawakened; the Alien.

So you took a point in the timeline where you could do anything at all, and just reverted it to Aliens+?

I guess I'm just confused as to why you'd modify the rez era that hard instead of just saying "yes, and" during the Aliens era.

We need an RPG scenario set during the timeframe of Resurrection. New weapons, new factions, and probably even old ones; I'd imagine the UPP would still exist. Plus, what exactly was going down on Kawlang?

Dead ass, the only difference between me and the sea of sorrows novel is that the time skip wouldn't be that extreme
