Join me, Peter, as I dive into the chilling and intense universe of the Alien role-playing game by Free League Publishing. In this series, we explore the dark, unforgiving world of space horror where survival is uncertain, and danger lurks around every corner.
Episode 1: Character Generation
In this premiere episode, we create our crew and outline our first mission. Our crew faces the unknown as we encounter strange signals and mysterious artifacts. Will we survive the encounter with the deadly xenomorphs, or will we become their next victims? You can only know by watching the campaign unfold.
I delve into the unique mechanics of the Alien RPG, focusing on stress levels, panic rolls, and the survival horror elements that set this game apart. Expect heart-pounding tension, difficult choices, and a narrative that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
Game Mechanics Spotlight
Throughout the episode, I will highlight key game mechanics, including the use of dice pools, stress and panic mechanics, and the cinematic versus campaign play styles. I will also share tips and strategies for solo play, ensuring an immersive and thrilling experience.

Went to RU-vid looking for a cosy solo rpg video and ended up with a new series of Red Dwarf. What a result!

What about McGruder? 🙂 Red Dwarf, timeless classic. Hey, where did you get the solo rules from? (Love your videos, keep 'em coming you Smeg Head).

From the parts per million website. If you sign up for the newsletter they (well he) sends them.

Another excellent start to a campaign. When you said familiar crew, I thought you were going to resurrect Cap’n Jack and co. as sci fi characters but the Red Dwarf crew fits perfectly; well apart from Rimmer. I hear he’s a real smeg-head! I’m very keen to see how this plays out. 😃

@HollowPondsSoloSagas 2 месяца назад

Well they quite drift from the comedic Red Dwarf crew as quite quickly I work out that doesn't fit the genre but it was a good plan :D

@andysimmons2648 2 месяца назад

@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Yes, that was bound to happen, given the genre of Alien, but using the RD crew is an excellent way to hook yourself as a solo player into the campaign. I look forward to seeing how it goes.

Your playlist is all out of whack you need to organize with oldest at the top and newest at the bottom so it plays in the right order. Right now they are all over the place.

@HollowPondsSoloSagas Месяц назад

Will do. I’ll take I look see.

@HollowPondsSoloSagas Месяц назад

Took a look see. So issue is everytime one is added it goes to the top automatically. Let me have a play

@HollowPondsSoloSagas Месяц назад

So I’ve ordered them oldest at the top. But. If you have sorting on it may throw that out as far as I know. Have a look see.

@Satsujinki1973 Месяц назад

@@HollowPondsSoloSagas Yep. Should be a setting to add new videos to the bottom instead. It looks like you already cleaned some of it up. Before the order was 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 7, 10, 8, 11, 1, 2. Now just 11 is at the top.

@SobeR999 2 месяца назад

Looks complicated

@HollowPondsSoloSagas 2 месяца назад

Hello. Which bit? It falls between twilight 2000 and TWD. It abstracts less but is no more complex then the other year zero systems.

@frithy25 29 дней назад

Aliens RPG is by far one of the easiest RPG’S to get into. The rules are very light and when you get into it, it’s super fast. Although whenever you run a solo play campaign does get hard to keep track of everything. But simply you have 8 films to draw from along with 20 or so novels. So there’s plenty to do and with all the world and mission tables they give you. You can have missions that last an hour or a world management game that lasts you weeks. There’s so much versatility!

@HollowPondsSoloSagas 29 дней назад

Agree 100% and combat flows like a film and just demands graphic descriptions.

I enjoy watching the adventures, laughing with and at Qwackbane and feeling the terror in CoC, and at the same time picking up tips and tricks on how to progress and build my own solo adventures. So having fun online as well as offline 😀 And thats why I upgraded my membership 😁.

And it´s a bit strange that the character sheet has no place to note down money. I use the backside of the sheets. Two rows; one for the money on the card and one row for physical cash :)

Week after next T2K will return and I’ll be doing Blade Runner when the solo rules get released (I backed them so will play them as soon as I can) and I get the Blade Runner base game which I missed the sale of as I was still recovering financially from returning home to Europe 😁 executive summary: watch this space lol

@bruceford6133 2 месяца назад

@@HollowPondsSoloSagas I backed the Replicant KS too. I've enjoyed the system so far but haven't had much of a chance to play. I backed a fair number of nostalgia based KS games which I need to find time to play including Terminator. I look forward to this next session and the return!

@HollowPondsSoloSagas 2 месяца назад

@bruceford6133 yes. I feel that story isn’t finished and I’ve been thinking about the direction and I think we have enough leads from series one to maybe if the dice fall well take it somewhere interesting BUT out of TWD cannon. More into the Arisen series of books if you know them?
