>>5375777Ah that is the Alien Free League system right? The one where you add to a d6 pool, and it simulates the tension, shock and horror against the xenomorphs? Free League also did Coriolis, that artbook is good, but the Alien d6 dice pool is so much cleverer in that rpg. I never played it but I skimmed through it.
Alien is such a good setting, Weyland Yutani (it's like British Leyland Motors never nationalised and dismantled itself!), I think Aliens (1986) is one of the best films ever, it has a flamethrower taped to a pulse rifle, it is just perfectly paced with some Sleeping Beauty fairy tale imagery (think about the sleeping pods, and the alien queen and child), unsubtle maiden mother crone themes that would unravel when that French man attempted to direct bald penal colony Ripley in Aliens 3 hehe.
Alien Isolation the videogame captures the feel of those films insanely well, for action I am still always nostalgic about the gun arsenal in Aliens versus Predator 2 (2001 videogame by Monolith), that had some cool alternate ammo, the large arsenal of weapons felt fairly close to the original films in feel like the smart gun etc. And despite graphics that are twenty years old now (oh my god, I am so old) I remember it because of the cool perforated heat shroud on the shotgun, the folding pneumatic? sniper rifle and the alt fire on the triple barrel chaingun that kept it spinning ready to fire hehe.
I never really got into star wars or star trek, I watched the films but they just never really did it for me. But Aliens 2 alongside inevitably wh40k, Halo Reach, Dead Space and Asimov Foundation the novels (the novels! Not the unspeakable tv series argh!) basically influence how I think about all space sci-fi. Maybe also that weird Farscape episode where he destroyed the universe by walking into a female toilet (this happened, it was a warning).
