Alright guys, I picked up the Alien starter set and am running Chariot of the Gods this weekend. Any weirdness I should be aware of? It seems pretty straightforward but I'd like to know any weird pitfalls.

Spiteski posted:If I remember correctly Chariot didn't have this issue, but I know the latest cinematic has massive spoilers on the player handouts and even the character information given to the players that isn't supposed to be known by them until later. Just double check the information given in the handouts before giving them. All good information. Panic rolls work by 2d6+current stress level then compare to the chart? Is that correct?

Has anyone found a good online dice tool for this system? We shifted our Alien game to Zoom and are still using physical dice.

M. Night Skymall posted:Maybe this Discord bot? https://github.com/Stefouch/sebedius-myz-discord-bot I like Foundry in general, but also super overkill if you just want to roll dice. Discord bots are usually great for that. How do these work? I've never really used Discord for anything beyond simple chatting and don't like it for that, honestly. Is this graphical or does it just give results? (I'm working atm and can't test it out.)

Welp, FL announced a Blade Runner rpg so now my shelves are going to be EVEN MORE full of games that I never get to play.

Spiteski posted:Cautiously optimistic about that. Mainly because I don't like any of the other cyberpunk games but thoroughly love cyberpunk. Cyberpunk 2020 is, in theory and from a nostalgia point of view, my favorite rpg, but Red did it ZERO favors and really drags it down in my opinion.

Snorb posted:I have a very nostalgia-fueled soft spot for Cyberpunk 2020 too, but I'm all right with Red. (Mostly because it decanonized a lot of Cyberpunk 2030, and I loving HATED what that game did to the lore of 2020.) I never hosed with it. Too much of Red is just copy/pasted from 2020 for my liking, and I still hate that they use d10s and gave me some cop out answer as to why they didn't switch to 2d6. I'll also say that as much as I love CP2020, man, the folks that run RTG's social media are a bunch of fucks and actively make me not want to buy their games.

Woah, thanks! That looks pretty cool, but that art style is...sort of a bizarre match for T2k. Kind of reminds me of those Undaunted boardgames that came out within the last couple of years.

Spiteski posted:Do you mean the map art or the book art? Nah, like the covers of the books themselves. The BOX cover on the other hand is that FL digital painting style that they use on most of their products and is amazing.

bewilderment posted:From looking at a video, the book art covers and their non-splash-page interior art is meant to sort of invoke the illustrations inside real-life infantry training manuals. AAh yeah ok, I see that now. It's just such a weird shift from the old style T2K art (basically generic mid-80's RPG art) that it threw me off a little. It'd be cool if they looked like actual field manuals the way stuff like Morrow Project or Traveller did.

I dunno what happened to my response above, but I'd like to give that a shot if there's room and it works with my schedule. Man, I was on the fence about that Colonial Marines book but went to buy Warhammer poo poo the other day, couldn't decided what to buy, so just bought Colonial Marines. Now I have everything for Alien.
