Thanks, ah I remember watching Aliens, I think I was 9 and I was hooked but then there was the AVP moves (Shudder).

Aliens was definately the best ever alien film...

.. I suppose it'd work...

... and, soldier people, I advise you to come up with a reason why you'd be in the small village, or the town nearby...

... as long as its a fairly believable reason, I'll allow it...

... then we can start!

@silly

Yes. Yes you did.

@ Trollpie

Trolly ma friend, yes you can!

And, blood! An alien! Ooyeah!

I take it im soldier am i? If so im in the countryside village for training it will be surrounded by trees, bush, fields that sort of thing and im a sniper perfect training.

Shall I help stir up interest? I might PM Ineptus and Darko, they're always fun to have on board.

Also, a player list on the OP would help.

Back to storytelling mode:
Reason to be here: Felix has a contract to investigate the mysterious deaths of employees at the HQ of an international bank in the nearby town. To keep a low profile, he's staying in the Four Dragon's Inn in the village. (If it's OK with blood reaper I'd like his character to be the murderer I'm hunting... that would be interesting, stalking each other around a towerblock)

oh yes please.

Sounds great. It'll get several RPs to meet early on, speeding it up and meaning players will actually have to decipher clues given by other players... interesting.

It could be like AVP should have been with a lot of shadow play at the beginning, lots of little things the humans would have to investigate, lots of little things the aliens and predator would be investigating...so on and so forth until it gradually builds up.

Does this village and town have a name or what?

The Xenomorphs will slowly build up, a Queen should be located somewhere in the town.

blood reaper wrote:The Xenomorphs will slowly build up, a Queen should be located somewhere in the town.

Or under it...under it would probably be better...

A crashed ship carrying a Queen would be buried under the town.

blood reaper wrote:A crashed ship carrying a Queen would be buried under the town.

Like what kind of crashed ship? IIRC this is happening in the present day so it can't be a human ship, can't really be a predator ship and the Aliens don't have ships...

England has caves right? Or sewers? Those could work...

This gets better and better.

Could the town be a city instead? Something about fighting Xenomorphs in a sprawling maze of roads or a massive tower block makes me feel... happy.

Ideas for names:
Town/city: Horvern, Nimchester, Bitterham, Tastyham, Matterford
Village: Haymsley, Slotterton, Linthorpe, Dinley End, Milton Keynes

Is it? I thought it was set at the time of the movies, so we can have a lot more free roam with the story line... and pulse rifles... frickin' badass pulse rifles...

No its modern day.

Ok, but I still get a pulse rifle.

TrollPie wrote:Ok, but I still get a pulse rifle.

And you gave yourself an M4?

According to Shas (who is GMing this) its going to be set in modern times like in the predator movies...

So kinda like AvP except much more awesome...

I'm fine with either way actually but if you wanna get that changed you guys might want to PM him...

I'd like 1960's-70s British town but I'm fine with the current setting.

I would like it more if it was like Aliens but this is going 2 be fun.

That's what the Pulse Rifles in the movies are called. But never mind, since I found a much better selection of weapons that actually exist, such as this little beauty. Made changes to character sheet.
Also, I've called dibs on the AA-12. Sorry.
