[Interest Check] Blade Runner or ALIEN?

Hey folks,

Would anyone be interested in a Blade Runner or an ALIEN game? We'd be using the Free League rules and gaming system.

Please drop your thoughts and preferences below. Thanks!

Count me as interested in both. I would love either, but I'd probably prefer Blade Runner.

That said, did you have any thoughts for the kind of Alien game you wanted to run: Romulus (teens in space), conventional, Colonial Marines...?

Regarding ALIEN, I am fine with any kind of scenario; space truckers, marines, teens in space, researchers, colonists, et al. Do you have a preference?

Honestly, no. I think it might be fun to play a game with less officialdom, like Romulus, but I'll go with whatever generates most interest.

I would be interested, more in Blade Runner than Alien. I own, but haven't really read, the book for BR (I have read the Alien book).

I'd love to play a colonist-themed Alien game! I own the Alien core rulebook, but none of the other supplements.

Alright, I am thinking ALIEN might be easier for me to GM. Here's what I am thinking . . .

Theme: Adult- violence/ gore/ suspense/ horror; if a player wants to avoid particular scenes that make them uncomfortable, feel free to message me and I'll do my best to avoid those subjects.

Premise: Your character's parents/ guardians, partner/spouse/lover, or friend(s), were in the first wave of settlers on a new "shake'n'bake" colony and now it's time for your characters to join them.

Characters: Young adults (any career except Colonial Marine or Marshal) or Kids. Standard character creation details will apply (12 attribute points, 10 skill points, 1 talent, and appropriate gear/ cash).
  • Buddies & Rivals; we will work through this as the game progresses unless players want to establish relationships with other PCs prior to the game starting.
  • Personal Agendas; what drives your character?
  • Your character will need to have a background.
  • Two NPCs tied to their story (i.e., mother and father; partner and best friend; older siblings) whom are already on the established colony. Why were you separated?


Thoughts? Questions? Suggestions?

In reply to Doomed (msg # 7):

It sounds awesome, and the details seem clear.

When you set the game up, count me in ;).
