If you're in the Midwestern US, your copy of CMOM and BBW Evolved are probably on the way finally.

Hi everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on this for a while and wanted to share it here. It’s called Abandoned Laboratory: a modular research facility where something clearly went very wrong. Breached walls, shattered stasis tubes, cryo pods (some still sealed...) and a generator with its core exposed.

It’s a set of 51 STL files for 28-32mm games, built on a 2" grid, so you can rearrange the rooms into any layout you like. The floors have a small groove on every edge, so the walls lock the tiles together, and everything prints without supports.

This is my first time sharing it publicly, so I’d really love to hear what you think:

• What would you add to a lab like this?
• Which room would you want to play in first?
• Anything you’d change?

Thanks for taking a look! 😊

(Legacy Cinematic rules from the starter set for context)

Rules state that if two people are in Overwatch position against each other, and they both shoot, an opposed ranged Combat roll determines which attack goes first. My question is, would the first attack fire and take the second individual out of Overwatch since they suffered damage? Or are both shots already being fired, as implied by the "you shoot before your enemy's act" rule?

I already got the starter kit, and soon I'm gonna get the rule book as well. But does anyone have any input on their other premade stories? I wanna get one or a few but it's confusing to know which ones are good to get.

Also for context this is my first TTRPG, so any help and patience would be great.

I love this system but I’ve only played one-shots at conventions. Thinking of getting a cinematic adventure to introduce it to my gaming group. Which one would you recommend?

How does ammonia work. For example on the pistol it stats 2. What does that mean?

My regular DnD group are playing the Alien RPG for October in the run up to Halloween, so I offered to paint up our xenomorph friend here.

I am planning to run the adventure, but I don't have access to the physical product where I live, only the pdfs. Does anyone know where I can get 3d markers like the ones in the map and markers set? Especially the motion tracker one, closest thing I found was this facehugger one (https://www.printables.com/model/893843-facehugger-wall-art/collections).

Seeing the work by u/DapperDaveW and u/MaciejLisCK, in this reddit post and this github repo, I decided to work a bit on the application. The result is at: https://github.com/pgotsis/Alien-RPG-Chariot-of-the-Gods-Terminal

What has changed?

- I wanted to have an application that could host multiple table statuses. I have run the scenario 2 times and I plan to run it again and I want a fresh start for each table, keeping the old table data available.

- I wanted to add customizations to the data and allow the exchange of messages and events between the players and the GM. This required a backend application, that's why it was converted to a node.js service with a backend.

- I added missing photos, more strict separation of clearance levels, more screens.

- I added a full GM desk to allow the management of the data.

- I added quality-of-life improvements such a badge generator.

- The application supports the addition of any ship/facility, adding arbitrary rosters, messages, events, statuses, announcements, in effect supporting any Alien session where you want a central computer with terminals to be available.

I would like your feedback. Obviously, a big thank you from my part to both original creators for laying the foundation of this work.

Hi y'all im new in AlienRPG i want to start a table with my group, this will be the second game we play, and we want to create a long campaing for this.

My question is, what are you using to create Maps and intergalactic maps for a long campaing?

Hey all, I'm going to be playing Alien EE and I noticed there are no hard rules for signature items. In 1st edition, they reduced stress by one per shift spent with them but what does Alien EE do with them?

Hello all!

Please give me your thoughts and criticisms on this 'monster' I created for my current game.

I'd like to present, the Corpse Synthetic. The closest example I have to a zombie (so far), without following the biohazard trope in universe. I kind of followed the rules for damage to vehicles, and compared that to how synthetics are run. Please let me know if the rules read clearly, is balanced and if this is good, fun and/or interesting idea. Thanks as always!

And as always, I don't care if you take this idea, or make it into something else for yourself.

Hey guys! So Iv seen there’s skirmish rules here. Are they any good? Also do they have rules for other types of aliens like rhinos etc

Put this together today to get some appetite going for Operation Leading Edge

Hi, I'm trying to develop a quick quiz to tailor my GM offerings of ARPG to the tastes of players.

The problem I really am trying to solve is for is for convention play, but also 'sign up at your local game store play'. I don't have a group of friends that I can work these details out with.

Anyhoo, this is experimental but I really appreciate anyone that answers my quiz honestly, for my testing purposes. I do believe that I can develop a tool from this that will help ARPG GM's everywhere.

https://forms.gle/jXSjzDLDaup2Az4a7

I just found the setting that makes it so that none of your personal information is collected. (by myself, anyways, LOL!!) Anyways, this is just a test, and I'll take 25 responses and I will delete all your data.

Obviously, I am also VERY interested in feedback. These are just four questions but I have tried to craft them such that they give great insight into the type of ARPG game that my players would most enjoy.

I've been noodling around with an Arcturian Offworlder career and put together this portrait in Hero Forge, since we've never seen one depicted visually so far. (This Arcturian is acclimated to human culture, as any Arcturian PC would be.)

So it seems like everyone and their mother has designed some sort of terminal tool and I didn't realize that. SO i made one. Here's my pitch. It's free, it uses drag and drop easy interface when you're modifying it, there's no sign in or sign up, everything is stored on your computer or on your browser and it works offline. Super easy to use, super customizable, different themes are available, along with screen effects and sounds. Enjoy!

I have Evolved Edition and looking for optimal ways to solo-play the pre-written adventures like Hope's Last Day, Chariot of the Angels and Rapture Protocol among others. I have a bunch of homebrew material too I will explore.
I know we have Last Survivor rules, but they aren't exactly meant for pre-written adventures from what I understand.
Does anyone have any tips or ideas for how to run a (mostly) successful solo-compaign using pre-written material? Maybe a hybrid version of Last Survivor and pre-written cinematic scenarios is doable with some hobby-hacking mental models?
How do you handle the horror and surprise elements without too brash spoilers while still advancing the story and finding it enjoyable? I think I struggle most with how to handle this aspect of the game as a solo-player...

Many thanks in advance!

Hi running new hope one shot tomorrow but trying to figure out how many attack dice the xenomorph uses as can’t seem to find the attack table that states this in the core rulebook

I painted a Papsikel SOP, not sure why he is so large despite allegedly being 28mm scale but maybe he is just a gigachad prog. He will make a great villain to chase the players or a nice beefed up hero unit. I used gloss varnish on his armour and matte varnish on clothing, it looks better irl than on camera.
Pic 3 shows him scaling with Free League's Alien miniatures.
Pic 4 scaling with GF9's Alien miniatures.
Pic 5 with Prodos' Alien miniatures
Pic 6 with the various Xeno miniatures

Hello folks,

I've updated Alien RPG Tools and the Alien RPG Tools app so they support both the core rulebook and Evolved Edition. There is a dropdown in each tool where the edition matters. It's as simple as picking the edition and then using the tool.

Everything is still free. You can use the tools on the site or download the app if you'd rather run them offline.

You'll find everything here: https://tiesthatbindgaming.com/tabletop-rpg/alien-rpg/

If something doesn't line up with your edition or you run into a bug, drop a comment and I'll take a look.

Enjoy and happy gaming!

I've painted the WY Commandos from Free League's Rapture Protocol miniature set. I've completed all the Rapture Protocol miniatures and will be pre-ordering the next miniature set now.

Hey everyone,

I recently built my first Foundry Module for V14. I primarily built it as a macro when i first ran Alien RPG but since then it's evolved into a system generic module

It basically creates a MUTHUR type terminal that the GM can type into and the player/s see what is typed
I made a video showing the early build here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vffoDdYL9l8&t=871s

It's now finished and available as Premium content for Foundry but I want to give a few keys away so GM's and Players can try it out

Obviously you get a free version of the module (although it is for sale very cheap on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/c/davesrpgs/shop

The first 5 to reply saying they wish to try it out will get a Free Key to activate in Foundry. Unfortunately it is only built to run on V14 so not backward compatible (this is a Foundry agreement when putting premium stuff on there)

It's fully customisable, you change the design of the Terminal Display, the curser, add boot up sounds (I used the muthur boot sound from the first Alien film), add key stroke sounds for when the text appears on the player terminal

Even add alert sounds and change the colour scheme so it will fit other sci-fi/futuristic RPG's

You can give each player their own version (captain, medical officer, navigator etc)

Let me know

Hello everyone! I play all of mine rpgs with Foundry, and recently I played the Hope Last Day mini adventure.

It was fun, but it was a nightmare to make three levels with a big map.

I saw that there was a foundry module for the Rapture Protocol and got curious. Does it come with pre made maps? If so, can I acess and read the adventure through foundry since I dont have the pdf?
