I have been thinking of running this module for my group to see if they would like something besides d&d, and the reason I clicked this one was because You guys have a freaking awesome name. Subbed cause idk if it's just be being American, but the fuckery is like 10 times better with all the colloquialisms and accents lol. Also WELL DONE GM! (Being one myself I know it's a labor of love and people barely acknowledge the work we do) you did an amazing job bringing the story to life and an even more impressive one hearding the cats that are you players!

[@ScorchedSheep]

Thanks so much dude! I’m glad you enjoyed it. Alien RPG is so much fun, the system works so well. Plus the joy of the cinematic modules is that as a GM you’re encouraged to try and wipe out the party. It’s nice stress relief for any shenanigans they put you through in your main campaign 😂

[@snieves4]

Did you run it

[@joshdavidson2448]

Ay just wanted to say; this is the first actual play of yours I've listen too and I loved it. This ep was also a big help as I'm learning the system and want to run chariots for my group. Cheers 👍

[@ScorchedSheep]

Thank you so much! The system is great fun. This was our first time too and we had so much fun playing it

[@evilzombie]

Loving the adventure so far, excited to see where it goes from here!

[@ScorchedSheep]

It goes to strange places 😂

[@amebower8898]

This is quite the chaos crew you've got here.

[@ScorchedSheep]

I wouldn’t have them any other way. I’m amazed they survived as long as they did 😂

[@PinkDefiler]

I genuinely hate being that guy, but since everybody is eager to learn, I gotta leave those two things here: The Motion Tracker. When you do a Power Supply roll, it is only done for the sole purpose of checking, how much battery power it loses. The item itself still does what it´s supposed to do. In this case, doing the beep bloop beep thing, telling the player whats moving. On the topic of Panic Rolls: When you roll a 1 on a stress dice, it does not automatically mean that the roll itself is a fail. Only when the Panic Roll result is a 10 or above, does the attempted action actually fail. Otherwise, the rolled 1 only means, that you are unable to push the roll, i.e. rolling it again to gain more successes. Apart from that, feeling the vibes. Great comedy :D

[@ScorchedSheep]

Yeah, I’ve run more sessions of Alien RPG since we did that and learned properly how the mechanics work. It’s such a good system, I’m trying to convince the party to return to it 😂

[@stumpywest1652]

@@ScorchedSheep please do love the system and you're crew

[@squeak83uk2]

Nice actual.. love the rp / voices... note on motion trackers../ torches etc.. you don't need to succeed to use.. only roll a power roll when it is used.. kinda a shame the montero didn't follow its due course.. always a "huh?" Moment..

[@ScorchedSheep]

Yeah I’ve run this game a few more times since and worked out the correct way to use devices. This was literally our first time playing it so a few things were a bit off. Still amazing fun to play
