Thanks for the share Aramis and Fumarole!

You're most welcome!

I wanted to share a chart of probability of rolling at least 1 success that I put together. Base and Stress dice are separated into two axis. I've also included the probability into the action will be canceled due to Stress, by rolling at least one 1 on the Stress dice. I'm aware that a 9 on the Pa...

I don't really see how an 'evil corporation' makes a story necessarily cyberpunk.  AI isn't front and center in the Alien series until Prometheus, and I wouldn't call that cyberpunk either. It's not JUST the Corporatism, but the subtle examinations of what it means to be human that pushes the franc...

Is the sandbox concept really that open for different interpretations? I would say no. It’s a quite obvious metaphor: it’s a framed area. You can’t miss what’s inside and what’s outside. That’s the main idea.  This implies to me that you really do not fundamentally understand the concept. The point...

The swarm is basically space locusts. They're concerned with what they can eat. The Xenomorph can't impregnate them. They can't eat the Xeno because of the acid blood and because its exoskeleton is silicon not carbon. So likely you'd see something truly terrifying. A Xenomorph with the swarm crawli...

As for cyberpunk - I don't see it.  Blade Runner, yes.  But Blade Runner is not Alien.  Alien is horror first and foremost.  How does it fit into cyberpunk?  There's next to no cyber, nor punk. At least into the early 90's not all "Cyberpunk" literature had cyberware. Cyber also didn't have the har...

Don't forget that, if good story reasons present themselves, even #63, #65, and #66 have real world potential to be survived. People have survived having large portions of bowel and/or small intestine removed. It's a huge issue for health... and there's the peritonitis that is almost guaranteed...  ...

I've decided for my campaigns, Deception Mode is a talent, not inherent.

Think about the resolution sequence implied by the effects of the panic check - which can cancel the action. Here's how I interpreted it, in a pseudo programming mode... roll the dice if stress dice showing 1's, check for panic. else go to 4 if panic roll 10+, attempted action failed and panic actio...
