I do not have the books at hand right now, but in the Alien RPG, magazines are called "reloads" and they take up 1/4th of an Enc. each. Except, when you put a reload in your weapon, the Enc "disappears", so to speak (and presumably you discard the empty mag). A reload "weigh...

Yeah, that might work, but personally, for Alien RPG, I prefer something a little more rules-light. I tend to just roll a "catastrophe roll" when things like this come up: I grab a number of Stress Dice -- say, 3 if the danger is low, more the higher it is -- and if I roll 2 Facehuggers so...

Thanks for your input both. Definitely with you both on the computer systems being down adds to the isolation on the base. I agree that the colony would neccesarily have an AI, but it would have a mainframe of some description i think. They want to look for things like officers logs and the like, w...

Ya it's crazy not to include spacesuits on board of any ship (unless it's really important in the storytelling of the cinematic). Angelman, it's very interesting to reprise the scene from the beginning of Aliens with the specialized equipment of laser cutting metal. It's very clever. Arthur. Yeah, ...

I still taking about stealth mode.

Me too, mate; me too.

Yes, you can spend the Fast and Slow action to move while in Stealth Mode. The GM can, of course, add penalties for moving quickly while trying to be silent -- (say, -1 f...

Any ideas on how the Sitillo crew can get to the Kronos? The script is poor in this matter. On Kronos, the airlock door is broken and probably has a burnt hole. Additionally, according to the scenario, the Sittilo crew does not have appropriate suits. In my running, I had the Sotillo crew attach to...

It is also important to note that Alien RPG is a horror game, not a shoot-'em-up game; it is Alien: Isolation more than Alien: Fireteam Elite . This is a design choice, and you can always tweak the rules if you like. There are several threads in this very forum where people discuss ways to make the ...

Oh, man! I'm very interested in that, _ArthurDallas_! Please do share when you're ready

According to a recent (March IIRC) yt interview with Tomas, the next thing up is a new cinematic with some tweaking to that format (or something to that effect). And then there is the Space Trucker/Company sourcebook that there's been talk of through the years. Nothing has been announced yet, but To...
