Alien RPG system is based on Year Zero Engine which was developed initially for Mutant: Year Zero

[@BrindleBoxerMax]

As I 5e DM, I found this easy to learn for players as well as Game Mother. If you love horror this game delivers.

[@SkywalkerOne1977]

This is one of those RPGs that I know nothing about but really want to play

[@zedgathegreat9122]

If you want to see it being played, Glass Cannon Network has some Actual Plays of it up on their channel. It really looks like a really good system and a blast to play.

[@FablesD20]

As a 5e DM, playing the Alien RPG 3 times, it helped me really become a better DM. We actually ran the Alien RPG on Fables D20 around a table, and not over zoom, hooked up colored lights, and did a lot of alien isolation sound effects, it was one of our most exciting games ever. If you're ever in LA, we'd love to run an Alien Oneshot for you 💪

[@mr.dragonbane]

Alien is a great system to run. The stress mechanics really push the players to create situations for themselves. I've had a lot of fun running it.

[@Omnathious]

When I came across this RPG I was coincidently thinking about what system would work best to homebrew a RPG set in the Metroid universe. This checked all the boxes and more. The Year Zero System is a really good system, I have been fond of it since reading about it.

[@74gould]

Really wanna try this one. It looks awesome.

[@mikejednorog3383]

Love this game and I’ve never played lol , looks like so much fun

[@LatheOfChaos]

Oh! I just got this one for Christmas!

[@jamesalexhowlett]

22:57 any time I’ve bought from free league, they’ve given me pdf copies through drive thru rpg

[@obsidiansiriusblackheart]

I bought a broken copy of this for super cheap, but it didn't come with the campaign book which was the reason I bought it to begin with 😂

[@chrishousenick6105]

I've run an Aliens: Colonial Marines cinematic scenario three times, and even wearing their body armor, and carrying pulse rifles, that scenario has a 33% PC mortality rate (and NPCs fare even worse). It's didn't go well under the atmospheric processors on LV-426, and it rarely goes much better on the table top.

[@odinulveson9101]

Have yet to try it when Im in a sci fi horror mood. Hope you gonna review the Dragonbane starter set as well! Also from Free League and excellent for Solo, Co-op and standard G.M+ Group play. New bestiary and updated rule books + standees are releasing this spring BTW!

[@GiganticPawUnit]

I bought a Free League book from Exalted Funeral a while back, and then emailed them asking if it's possible to get a PDF after purchasing a physical book from an independent online retailer. The answer that I got was that you get a free PDF if you purchase a physical book from an LGS that participates in their program. Very frustrating to me, since I don't think there's a store nearby that carries their products - only one game shop I've been to in my area even has a significant selection of RPGs. That said, I strongly doubt they'd give PDFs to people who purchased on Amazon, since they won't even let independent websites participate.

[@paulunderhill550]

Then purchase from their website if you want the free pdf

[@GiganticPawUnit]

@@paulunderhill550 I guess you didn't watch the video, because I'm replying to a specific topic in it. I'm not asking for advice, I'm providing information relevant to the speculation that was discussed at length, which should be obvious if you watched the video before reading the comments.

[@derekstein6193]

$20 per each dice set is definitely too much.

[@coreymease7851]

I've played a game of this at PAX Unplugged 2022. I feel like it is fantastic for a one shot. I don't think it would work well as a campaign game.

[@outkastagc]

I want my first game to be Alien style and the games thereafter Aliens style.

[@generalsci3831]

I do really want to try this game.

[@Wolfbane971]

You'll probably not get the pdf if you only had an Amazon order, given Amazon takes a cut and you could return the order and they would loose money

[@RIVERSRPGChannel]

I wouldn’t mind trying that

[@johngillan4475]

Thank you for your information video

[@paulunderhill550]

I would gladly pay 50 for a starter aet like this than 25 for the crap WotC puts out which is a box thats half air. WotC needs to take a lesson from some of these other companies on how to to a starter set right.

[@shadowhawk1701]

Bought the core rule book and The Chariots of the Gods source book when it first came out. Couldn't make head nor sense of it. Tried asking Free League questions becasue I couldn't understand the player creation. They just didn't seem to want to help. So I chucked it on the side and haven't touched it since.

[@jamesalexhowlett]

Character creation is straightforward.

[@shadowhawk1701]

It probably is, but at the time I couldn't understand it. There were supposed to be pregens in the chariots of the gods book, but what there actually were was just concepts, almost just NPC stats. I contacted Free League, and they just pointed me at the same information I had. I tried, and got fed up, and lost interest.

[@jamesalexhowlett]

@@shadowhawk1701 is this your first rpg?

[@shadowhawk1701]

Nope. My method is, I look at a completed sheet. And if I can easily replicate it and understand it following the rules, Good. But when there was no example at the time, and the publisher couldn't help. It got shelved. It might be the best game ever, but I got frustraited with it because I asked for help from the source and I honestly think at that time, they were just looking to get it on the shelf, and there was no support. To date, Aliens and Lex Occultum are the only two RPG's I've given up on.

[@InhabitantOfOddworld]

Posted your own L. Skill issue.

[@uid360]

I would love to see an Alchemy / Alien! F* the mouse.

[@tabletopgamingwithwolfphototec]

Ah i see you are catching up to me on showing off starter sets / beginner boxes. Edit : You are about 1/4th of the way to catching up to me ( i just checked to see how many Starter sets you have covered & how many i have covered ).

[@Teufeltusken]

You have resting glum face. I can never tell from your thumbnail if you're going to are going to go gloom and doom or really enthusiastic about your title game.

[@rdmsh]

Please don’t do those over the top faces some channels do
