pelorus, I modified your source so the script will run as normal, and asks the user if they want to run another distance calc in a continuous conditional loop. It also displays in classic 1979 green underline text. I'm not sure where to host it, let me know if you're interested in the updated source...

I pulled the sound effects from source files from Aliens vs. Predator Classic and Aliens vs Predator (2010) PC games. Just use extractors ( FastFile Explorer for Classic and quickBMS for 2010) .  All the standards are there—weapons such as the pulse rifle and smartgun, equipment such as the motion t...

All of these options look great. Those colors look thematically perfect. But I don't like cubes because they don't roll well . Instead, I'm going with doublesix dice . Doublesix concept is straightforward—use d12s with each of digits 1 through 6 printed twice. dd6 probabilities are identical to d6 p...

 "When you face a challenge together with the other PCs, don’t roll dice separately. Instead, you choose who among you is best suited to take on this challenge. The others may help them (see below) if it’s relevant to the situation. If the roll fails, it counts as a failure for all of you—you a...

It seems reasonable that someone would have to take cover before being shot with a firearm/plasma/fast projectile weapon. The ranged fire modifications seem to account for the difficulty of lining up a moving target. Ever since watching the Mythbusters episode about not being able to dodge bullets, ...

Thanks for flagging this. Looking forward to it. Minis could be repurposedto Alien RPG.

It's unlikely that the plant at Hadley's Hope would actually wipe the place away.  It's (quite intentionally) very hard to make a fission power plant go "BOOM!" The best you get is a steam explosion lit from below, and a glowing pool of mixed metal self-heating slag. And radioactive fallo...

Yes I have to admit the weapon art seems to me a little sub-par. It's passable. But I think it has trouble holding up to the super-high bar set by the amazingly good character and setting art.

Licensing is an unimportant contrivance to block an AVP RPG. If Fox/Disney/whoever owns it wants to make it happen, they will. If there can be a Bishop action figure  and an AVP Alien Attacks Predator Action Figure Set , there can be an AVP RPG. Short of some kind of actual market survey we know not...

Speaking of the help from others mechanics, why would anyone help for only one base die if they could just not help and get more base dice with a skill check? Is help from others done instead of a skill check or in addition to a skill check? Fundamentally, the help/group mechanic is best dice pool ...
