New Additions to the Gaming Format
Posted: Mon Jun 12, 2017 1:01 am
I am going to add a few new features to the game to try and increase the level of enjoyment if you will! First off like traditional table top games there will be an awarding of Experience Points at the end of the Turns. I am going to start viewing Turns like Gaming Sessions. In order to help the readers and the players get a better feeling for just what exactly they know about the Xenomorphs I am adding what will be known as Conspiracy Levels. I am garnering this information from a website that seems to be defunct as far as updating things known as www.SerenaDawn.com so I give credit to that site for the following information:
Conspiracy Levels
CONSPIRACY LEVEL 1: “A VISITOR”
CL1 takes course around the time of the movie. A Narcissus Shuttle is towed from Outer Reaches to Gateway station. On the basis of the report from the survivor, a CMC Cruiser was sent to a planet on the Outer Rim. The Aliens are only known by that survivor. This setting is a pre-threat scenario. Marines usually don't even consider any non-human threats in known space. The human quotient is another story. The Aliens still exist in deep, deep space, and on the planet Acheron, quarantined after the Atmospheric Processor there went critical.
EG: Aliens
Tech Levels
TECH LEVEL 1: STANDARD TECHNOLOGY
These are all technologies from the start of the series. Everything from the Aliens movie is present. All technology is considered TL1 unless stated otherwise.
EG: M41A Pulse Rifle, M51 Smart Gun
Finally, as some already know I have been toying with a new Character sheet on Excel. But I am not quiet happy with it or even the D20 Gaming system. So I am going to insert a poll to ask those players who are actively playing or even those who are simply following along to vote on. One of my favorite systems that I have played and that lends itself to a little more creditability is the StoryTeller system by White Wolf. I played many a game in the original system Vampire the Masquerade and a few in Werewolf the Apocalypse as well as a few custom games. So I may turn around and scrap what I have going in the D20 realm and look at redoing the game in the StoryTeller system. Doesn't mean that I will stop the current game until we get things done. But I will gladly accept any assistance from people who want to help with the creation process. Once the group as a whole decides on what they would like to do I will start a new Google Docs for the Players and GMs Guide and then we can move to Google Spreadsheets for the Character Sheets. I will let the poll run for two weeks then I will go from there.
