Re: ALIEN SCENARIOS WITHOUT ALIENS

I have not had any issues with running a non-Alien game so far. I am GM for a Colonial Marines campaign, where right now the marines are on a peacekeeping operation on a frontier world. They have encountered separatists and some local fauna, but no Xenomorphs. Right now the focus is sorting out who ...
