KR KingHOST
I like their concept.
KR KingHOST
But the only one I played extensively is Aliens RPG.
KR KingHOST
That would not be the one I would choose because of issues of Alien.
KR KingHOST
It's fun to have at a convention, but it's not a game that would be on my list of five.
Michael DiamondHOST
This podcast episode is brought to you by the Old Ways Actual Play team.
Michael DiamondHOST
This actual play uses the Alien RPG rules by Free League Publishing.
Michael DiamondHOST
This actual play is performed by adults and in an adult setting.
Michael DiamondHOST
While we try very hard to stick to languages for all ages, listeners should know that the Alien setting can include strong violence and gore.
Damien MorfitHOST
However, you know, maybe for the next couple rounds, you get a minus to any of your other rolls because, you know, you're so focused on this specific thing that it's, you know, it's kind of putting blinders on you.
Damien MorfitHOST
You know what I mean? Now, another way that Blades in the Dark uses their pushing mechanic that I like a little bit more than the way it's implemented in the Alien RPG is you can also push for effect.
Mike AshquieHOST
Yes, I was kind of hoping you'd do this because I see other systems that have done this, but I think Blades might have done it first.
Damien MorfitHOST
Um, so essentially what you're doing with, uh, so with the way that, uh, affects or results work in blades in the dark.

Mike AshquieHOST
I love stuff like this.
Damien MorfitHOST
Oh yeah, like having extra effects that you can do and extra effect dice are always kind of a fun mechanic.
Damien MorfitHOST
And that actually even goes back, it kind of circles back to what we were talking about earlier with the Alien RPG because they have their own effect dice.
Damien MorfitHOST
Yes, they're stress dice.

But other than that, we recently put up Bill's first time ever doing an RPG as the GM, where we played through the Free League Alien RPG, which was a ton of fun.

The first one's available to everybody right now, but I think the second part is currently member exclusive.
RyanHOST
But very, very fun time.

I want to use the fear mechanic in that alien RPG.
JerryHOST

GobbyHOST

Arne KeustermansHOST
Last week, Delta Squad set out to retrieve the data and prototypes from the shooting range, and on the way there had to fight off some of the mutated wildlife of the planet.
MattHOST
And I first experienced...
MattHOST
Something that clued me into this dynamic when I was playing in the Alien RPG, which I have maligned on this show before.
MattHOST
Because I don't mind the fade to black even though – I've never thought about the fact that that's actually robbing me of actions.
MattHOST
Yeah.
MattHOST
Right? I've never thought about it that way because why would you, right? Time's got to move forward.
MattHOST
But we were playing through the Alien RPG and – Unfortunately, I was both the ship's captain and the android, so I knew that there was going to be an alien, and I played accordingly.
MattHOST
Yeah.
MattHOST
Right? I played with a tightly controlled environment because I'm trying to eventually, when we find this, capture it and study it and yada, yada, yada, which actually meant that narratively there was no room for the plot to continue after a certain point.
