OLD ALIEN RPG from SerenaDawn

[Xenotaris]

I think the uncertainty and ambiguity works much better for short horror games. If players can say with certainty that x enemy is a Runner, and Runners have xyz rules and HP, it gives them a sense of structure and stability that a horror game should ideally be stripping them of.

Oh yeah, like its the player character's first encounter with the xenomorph?

Generally, yes. It's a lot less tense and scary if they've met them before and lived - the whole point is that just seeing one is usually a death sentence.

There was another free fan made one called Aliens Game Over by Michael Tresca. Not sure if it's availability these days.

I never heard of that one, how was it?

[SM]

Don't know. I have a copy but haven't rolled a dice in anger since the 90s.

Would be a curiosity if nothing else, if you feel like uploading it.

Here you go.

I had a feeling there was a Resurrection expansion, but maybe that was FUZION.

[Xenotaris]

Cool, I will have to read through this more thoroughly when I get the time.

Thanks for that.

I should probably try and scrape together what passes for a ruleset for my game, it's just badly scattered after several computer deaths and I don't want to re-type or format a bunch of stuff.

You should put on a backup drive or a USB or burn it to a disk.

[[cancerblack]]

A lot of it exists only as physical print-outs at the moment, and I haven't owned anything that can burn disks in like, 15 years.

Just covering all basis (I know floppies are out of the question), oh you could pain stakingly type it all in google docs
