Where's the best description of Perfected?

I'm having a hard time grasping, conceptually, what the Perfected are, what a proto-hive is, and so on. I'm getting vaguely Borg vibes, but the descriptions in the books seem ... very nebulous, other than stats. Similarly, other than "vaguely biomechanical humanoid," I can't really figure ...

Printer-Friendly PC character sheets from Heart of Darkness?

I've done some searching, but I've been unable to find printer-friendly versions of the character sheets for Heart of Darkness. Anybody know of any? Given the graphic presentation of ALIEN, which is great but toner-destroying, I hope Free League will go out of their way to make printer-friendly stuf...

I'm a player for ALIEN for the first time on Sunday. I'm playing Hammer, in Destroyer of Worlds. I own DoW, but I haven't read it yet, so I don't want to poke around and possibly get spoilers in my face. Does anybody have (or have a link to) a printer-friendly copy of Hammer's character sheet, Act 1...

I'm not sure about a zip-file, but I use this fantastic website on my tablet (and Bluetoothed to my Echo speaker) in my ALIEN games:

Re: Campaign from kids to adults

Sorry to necro, but I've been giving this some thought as well. My thought was to start with kids, then have almost episodic adventures (roughly once a year, game time). I think there are three big considerations: First, you want to define "kid." There is a huge difference between a 10-yea...

Re: How many dice needed?

The English plural of "die" is "dice." "Dice" is already plural. That depends upon which nation one's from. The UK has used «dice» as both singular and plural for decades. The US generally uses «die» as singular, but the UK use is creeping in as RPGs and boardgames glo...

Re: How many dice needed?

I have 40 of each. As the GM, I reserve 10 and 5, and the rest are in a receptacle on the table. The players tend to keep the Stress dice as their Stress counters, which works well.
