## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ RPG/Tabletop gaming
*by A***R on June 6, 2025*

Love it!!! And mine had ribbon book mark

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fun horror RPG and a good looking book
*by D***H on September 21, 2020*

Having run D&D campaigns for almost 2 years, I approached the Alien RPG system with some experience with TTRPG mechanics, both in terms of D&D’s strengths and weaknesses. The Alien RPG system, with its focus on cultivating fear and panic, is an excellent system with unique mechanics that I can’t wait to try out (even if I’ll have to keep a lot of tables and cheat sheets in front of me).In particular, the Alien RPG does a couple unique things (at least in my limited knowledge of TTRPG rules): first, the option for Cinematic Play is a great concept, limiting the story to one session with 3 acts and giving each player personal agendas that change as the story progresses. Second, the stress and panic mechanics (which remind me of the sanity mechanic in Call of Cthulhu) are interesting, and combined with the low-power character stats, make for a tense and dangerous scenario.The book itself could have done with some better organization. For example, key mechanics often have you flipping pages or chapters to get the full concept. Also, a one-page cheat sheet for new players and GMs would have been great (these are available online, so no big deal).As for the mechanics, the one thing that worries me is the concept of referring to tables in combat. Signature attacks by the creatures require a dice roll on a table, the effects of stress require a dice roll on a table, critical injuries require a dice roll on a table (one for players as well as a unique one for the Xenomorph), etc. Conceptually, this allows for varied consequences, varied reactions by monsters, and more specific descriptions of damage, which is great in a TTRPG, but in practice it may be cumbersome to keep so many tables close at hand while running the game.Overall, I’m really excited to try this out. There are some great ideas in here, as well as streamlined mechanics to create a fast-paced, dangerous, sci-fi horror game.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very nice lore book
*by A***H on October 17, 2024*

The book is well-written, and the interior design is top-notch. It is entertaining for those interested in the lore of the Alien universe, and I'll leave judgment of the game experience to those who have tried it. The book was delivered without damage and in perfect condition.
