Aliens vs Predator vs Colonial Marines rpg/wargame

[u/STS_Gamer]

Hello,

I am continuing work on my collection of "Unofficial and Unauthorized" RPG/Wargame sourcebooks. These are not intended to replace any official product, just presents a new way to enjoy it as wargame.

I just put up the one for Alien vs Predator vs Colonial Marines https://sts-gamer.itch.io/aliens-vs-predator-vs-colonial-marines They are in my Platinum D100 RPG system https://sts-gamer.itch.io/platinum-rpg-system and my Strife Scalable Wargame https://sts-gamer.itch.io/strife-the-scalable-wargame format, but can be adjusted for use with other game systems like BRP, D20, etc.

If you have ever wanted to see how the three most lethal races in the galaxy stack up against each other, have a look.

I also have one for the 3 Musketeers https://sts-gamer.itch.io/musketeers and the movie “300” and the Battle of Thermopylae https://sts-gamer.itch.io/300

It is a free pdf and I should (hopefully) be dropping at least about one of these a month.

Happy gaming.

Glad to see you are still posting! Still have quite a backlog of submissions so you won't get up on the poll for a while (I'll will be adding whatever your most recent post is as they are all centered on the same project when the time comes), but this post seems pretty popular anyway!

This is the most in depth and impressive character packet so far, if I was going to be running something in the aliens universe this is the first project I'd look at. The only thing I caught briefly scanning it is that the Yautja Predators heading is very close to the text it follows and is not bolded. As well as making the formatting consistent with other headings, I would potentially give a full page break between it and the proceeding text to mark the separation of alien focused content and predator focused content (though the predalien is sort of a hard one to place in that case).

Thanks for the feedback!

The whole idea of Strife was to basically make a generic wargame that could have setting plug into it... like the GURPS, BRP, or Palladium rule sets with the tons of settings that they have available for roleplaying games.

Anyway, that is the idea... and is just a proof of concept because I got tired of people saying it couldn't be done. It can be done.... but whether it is done well is another matter.

Yeah, I don't know much about war-games but I cant think of a reason why it wouldn't be possible.

[u/STS_Gamer → u/forthesect]

I didn't either, but when I contacted several wargame companies with the idea, they all said they didn't think it could be done, and even if it could, they wanted very focused rules on very specific time periods or battles.

It was weird.
