Thinking about Gorman killing the ALIENS in the air ducts, the rule I proposed above wouldn't work for that (the M4A3 pistol only does 1 damage). However, in that case, I might create a situational/terrain effect. If the ALIEN is crawling towards you through the air duct, its almost impossible NOT t...
My group and I agreed that it was too difficult to kill the ALIENS if we were going for an ALIENS style, action-horror, feel. When we ran it in that vein (with mostly marine characters and lots of ALIENS to fight), we made it so each additional success on a hit re-applied the weapon's base damage, i...
I had a similar issue. In this case, they trapped it in a small hallway between two rooms (the med bay and the medpods to be exact).

I made most of my tokens via screenshots of the pdf. I don't want to distribute that, but here some tokens I made out from google image searches that might prove useful.
You are assuming that the path continues instead of diverting. Food surplus => Technological advancement => Advancement to the point of society being free to do whatever (generally results in decent into hedonism) => Movement towards personal challenge and personal advancement and personal achievem...
Anyone have any ideas how to handle this? Given how lethal the system is, I feel reticent to leave this entirely up to my own fiat. A NPC panic at an inopportune time could easily spell death for a character. Similarly, an NPC keeping it together could totally save a character. This is probably less...
