Excellent video and thank your for the fantastic work you have done in the past. I'm a big fan. I'm sad to say that this video showcases a very lackluster combat system. Many times the math of Gudrun's attacks or "Saves" were automatic successes with dice only determining if it were a critical or not. The more I dig into this system the more I dislike it. Remember folks Gudrun is a beginning character with no experience. Auto hits and Auto saves at first level. In no point was ole Gudrun in any real danger. Sorry I'm sticking with Conan Modiphus 2d20, all the way.

Great thanks for the video!

Thanks for this! Even though I enjoy some 2d20 games, I feel some of them, including Conan, can get a bit bogged down in rules minutiae. I've wanted an epic rules-lite Conan RPG for years, something more similar to my fave sword & sorcery game Barbarians of Lemuria. I'm stoked for this!

Who is the woman on the wall behind him?

Thanks for the video! I’d love redoing the Monolith 2d20 tutorial video for this system. Sadly I have no time anymore :(

Wouldn't it be easier just to count all the damage roll instead of having to subtract the defense value? Seems like an extra calculation step. Do you think it's really necessary?

Good job on the combat system.

Nice video! Clean and smooth. Audio good. Conan crush skulls good.

Any explanation yet on why the ability scores and the associated die type don't seem to be tied to one another as far as increasing? Thanks, great video!

Awesome job! A nice and succinct combat demo.

Helped! Thank you. Bring back content, I see this vids 6yold. Like to know more about your indie games!

In the UK I’ve discovered Vanguard Miniatures who do 15mm metal space marines, Orks and Tyranids. I’m also waiting for a batch of 3d printed minis from a company called ROK miniatures that make a 15mm version of Space Hulk. I’ve decided I’ve enough 28mm stuff so I’m really excited to enter the 15mm world.

Lost our Roughneck last night to a Heart Stab after he went catatonic from stress, we will miss him probably

You’re handling armor wrong. Armor roll successes reduce damage by 1, they don’t negate the attacker’s successes. It works out the same if the attacker is using a weapon that only does one damage and spends extra successes on extra damage; but it is not the same if the weapon does 2 or more damage, and armor won’t protect against other stunts that the attacker spends extra successes on.

Great video clarified more than a good few hours of watching let's plays 😄 One question I'm struggling with though that I cant seem to clarify. Does an active enemy (as per the book, actively stalking the players) know where the players are inherently? E.g. would you have an active xeno head straight to them, or wander aimlessly rather than sit passively. Unless of course the pcs left a trail or made a noise maybe?

Imagine having an actual footage about a Conestoga-class ship fighting a space battle. I'm still waiting for that day...

good videos

I aprracite your video, very well done indeed. My only criticism is that roll20 sucks when compared to foundry vtt at every level. Something you might would like to consider in the future. Anyway, I aprracite your video style, simple and effective! Your players are lucky to have you as a GM. Cheers.

If Kwang wins initiative can she hide from the Alien? Or, can she attempt to move silently before initiative is rolled because she was aware of the alien?

Im taking a break from dming dnd...im trying to learn this for a change of pace... Thanks for the video

Nice video, I am new to that game and rpgs. Can you tell me what a 5-10 min turn mean? Is that real time or what does it mean.

EXACTLY !!! 15mm or even 1/72 (about 20mm I believe) is the way to go for the space on the table and in storage. Great video Dude. Thanks for it.

Fun idea:)

Great tutorial, thank you for taking the time.

Nice video! Looking forward to playing Alien RPG. New sub

I dig it! Used a retractable pen for the rivet method on a couple of my projects.

Phew! That Power Supply audio cue scared the bejeezus out of me 😅

totally useless

I was confused with the stealth movement for humans and xenos. So this clarifies it, because there was some seemingly contradictory wording with humans being speed 1, but moving 2 zones. Thank you! Wow, Aliens are stupid fast...

Planning on running an Alien game, and this is incredibly helpful! I really understand how combat works in this game now.

Of there is more then one gunner on a ship and more then one weapon system can't the ship make an attack for each gunner and weapon? Like a defensive CWIS, and a Long Lance ASAT missile?

Thank you so much! :D

Question: The sheet is calculating Ranged Damage Bonus from Coordination, but the rulebook says it comes from Awareness. I searched for FAQs and errata but can find no mention of a discussion about it. Which is correct?

Thank you! That answered several questions I had. Thanks for the mob functionality and the careful explanation of why you do not link the token to the npc sheet. I backed the kickstarter but have not yet been able to play. I am now really looking forward to this. I guess I've been looking forward to this since I discovered the Conan pastiche paperbacks in the early '70s :)

Thank you so much for this. It looks extremely helpful. I had been looking for something that would do more than the openly available sheet in Roll20, especially in the housekeeping of dice pool, momentum and doom. I don't have much experience of GMing with Roll20 and while I was a programmer a long time ago, I've hardly touched html, css or javascript. I was looking forward to the challenge, but realistically it would take me many scores of hours to get where you have. I have set it up and will give you feedback as I can. The only quick thought I have is the layout of the Soak panel. If I'm looking at the figure head on, in my head I'd expect to see right and left reversed which would also put the shield by the left arm. I'll see if I can work out that change. If not, I'll come crawling for help :) Cheers!

Very comprehensive video. Thank you. To have a workable sheet that consolidated all the information needed for this process would be amazing. We have ship sheets and character sheets. However, a tiered list of positions and their skills like you provided for this video made it crystal clear. A sheet like that has to exist or I swear I'm just going to do it on a dry erase board or something.

Run goddammit! Run... why do you bother to pick up your crowbar... Kwang's already dead... Nice, would like to see blocking and maybe start with more stress. I am gonna run this game first time tonight.

wouldn't it be easier to use SPRAY paint ?

Very nice video! And awesome presentation of the combat within a system that deserves to be played more often but sadly that is not the case. So hard to find people playing this system nowadays, and it also goes well with the Conan flavor which i also like. Thank you! Also the cheap tabletop sim is the cherry on top, again, wish more people would start using this easy sim for ttrpgs but that is not the case

That looks great! Nice techniques.

Stopping by on this one as well to say thanks again for your work on this.

Yeah totally awesome. Thanks for this!

How do you figure out how far they can move?

IS there combat for human enemies and combat Synthetics at all?

Do you play Vaesen or other Free League games? What do you think of them?

I can't access the site for dundjinni has it shutdown or moved elsewhere? or are there newr programs to make RPG?

Please don't use Roll20. They actively discriminate against white men. Giving them money and/or publicity just enables them to continue this type of behavior kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYuteXSvrLZ5o5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/goDKmYyNhtiIm5Y

If this is what a typical combat round is like with the star of the show, it means as a DM that wants to build a campaign with some staying power and character building, you have to provide the players with both a strong enough sense of dread to avoid such an encounter, and enough opportunities to get the hell out of there when an encounter is imminent. Compared to D&D, Alien RPG feels like you have 0,1% of the diversity of the monster cast so it's like "You're tired of fighting rats for 3 levels? Ok, here's a Beholder, glhf"
