Hi!

I happily got my Alien EE package last year*.

This is my first contact (pun intended) with the Alien RPG and the YZE system, overall. So before even thinking about giving it a ride with friends, I wanted to try Last Survivor first, to become more familiar with the rules. Since I also never solo'd an RPG, I started to struggle a bit on the first page, with the mission starters. Is it correct that there is a format error in them? I read them like that:


Page 291

• Nobody's Home: Space Trucker Mission 1
  • Unearthed Artifact: Possible plot 1
  • Company Meddling: Possible plot 2

Page 292

• Falling Star: Frontier Colonist Misssion 2
  • Alien Object: Continuing plot part 1
  • Lurking Presence: Continuing plot part 2

If that's true; I chose one of the two missions at a point I find interesting (standing at an overwatch point of the colony, seeing it is fully abandoned; waking up from hyper sleep; entering a derelict ship …) and then with the help of some imagination – and the matrices – see, how the story unfolds?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good example of how to get started with Last Survivor using the existing rules?

*The bag was a bit smelly but is fine now, as is everything else. This is a lovely filler of space in my Expedit shelf

There's a gent named Bard To The Bone one the ARPG discord group who has done fantastic solo play write ups. He goes though all his rule uses and thought processes as he plays. Gives a great insight on how to go about it all.

I've tried to attach one, let's hope it worked.

Thank you. It seems, that didn't work, but I will take a look at his posts.
