@arstechnica Alien is a rough franchise to be a fan of.
Alien: fuckin' brilliant.
Aliens: brilliant.
Alien3: kinda shit.
Resurrection: total shit.
Prometheus: disappointing shit.
Covenant: so shit, I stopped watching after 20 mins.
Romulus: didn't even bother.

The dark horse era comics are a mixed bag, but there are some good ones.
The #alienrpg by Fria Ligan is fucking excellent.

I received some great input for writing Alien RPG scenarios.

In D&D you usually center the story around a creature and how it affects its environment. It becomes a quest to somehow eliminate that threat.

Whereas in Alien RPG the questions you're asking, as a GM, are: When a group of people find themselves in a bad situation, how do they deal with it? What are their priorities? How far would they go to save others and / or themselves?

Interpersonal conflict is the driver.

Aquest dissabte 4 de Gener a la tarda fem això a #LaCinètika!

#Rol, oci subculutral i no consumista en general.

La intenció és anar-ho fent regularment els primers dissabtes de cada més per passar una bona estona a l'espai entre gent afí.

Aquest dissabte hi ha una taula d'iniciació als jocs de rol, i jo personalment dirigiré la partida introductòria d'#Alien (però sento dir que aquesta sessió ja està plena!).

Ich habe am Wochenende mal wieder #Vaesen geleitet und es war wieder sehr schön. Ich mag dieses Spiel, wegen seinem einzigartigen Setting und Flair, und ich mag generell die #YearZeroEngine. Zu Weihnachten habe ich das #AlienRPG Starter Set geschenkt bekommen, aber was ich wirklich gern mal wieder spielen würde, wäre #Coriolis. #Dragonbane schaffe ich hoffentlich auch noch mal und irgendwann muss ich mal was mit #DieVerbotenenLande machen.

Ich spiele leider viel zu selten Year Zero Spiele.

I've prepped an Alien RPG one-shot in case one of the players can't make it to the next D&D session.

The story in a nutshell: Ancient structures, impossibly old and not man-made, have been discovered near a largely abandoned colony. The remaining colonists have formed a sort of cult, assigning religious significance to those structures.

A team of explorers (the PCs) is sent out to investigate.

What type of planet does this scenario take place on?
