About the adventure
" What we hoped to achieve was to meet our makers. To get answers. Why they even made us in the first place..." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERFACE 3301 — WEYLAND-YUTANI — FROM NETWORK COMCON NODE 1010141 — EIJA33477975 MESSAGE BEGINS. NEW LIFE DISCOVERED. CLASSIFICATION, EXTREMOPHILE. SERVICES REQUIRED. CONTRACT FOLLOWS. AWAITING ACKNOWLEDGMENT… The company found a new lifeform, and they want you to study it. Their offer’s uncharacteristically generous—you catalog this organism, determine how they can use it, and bring it back so they can slap their patent on it. Fairly routine stuff. In exchange, they'll hook you up with a cushy corporate department head position, secure you a book deal, and make sure the institute of your choice gives you tenure. Did I mention the money? There’s a lot of it. Simple survey, sample, and analysis job. Seemed too good to be true. Of course it is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The ideal sci-fi horror experience, ALIEN will throw you into situations you never thought possible, and force you to confront your worst fears as you pitted against the iconic franchise's perfect killer: The Xenomorph! "Remember, in space no one can hear you scream..." * This game comes complete with pre-generated character, ready for you to jump straight into the action. * Work together to come up with creative solutions to problems that would make a weaker person give up. Manage your supplies and your stress levels, trying to survive in tight vents and shadowed corridors. * Experience true fear, with a tense atmosphere, a claustrophobic setting and gruesome body horror. All of this whilst knowing that all you can do is try to complete your objective. Surviving is an unlikely outcome...

About me
"Humans need fantasy to be human..."- Death My name is Mike and I'm a happy little TTRPG enthusiast currently residing in the South East of England, having claimed this land with the aid of my supportive partner and my less than supportive minions (three grumpy cats)! One day after a theatre rehearsal I was pressured into joining this weird cult where they rolled dice and seemed to pray to them for success... I then thought: "Why not let it consume my life?" Now I'm a GM with over 10 years of experience in over 40 different systems, meaning that I'm ever keen to share my love of Tabletop Role-Playing (TTRPG) with as many new players as I can! Thus Kobold Kaverns was born, a goal of mine to help both fresh and veteran players alike to get involved in their favourite TTRPG settings, or to discover brand new ones, all presented with high-quality maps, tokens, music, and storytelling! All of this is run by your friendly neighbourhood GM Mike! A man who not only has way too much time on his hands, but also has a passion for acting, gaming, and bringing people together through online tabletop games. Whether it is the well-known dungeons of D&D 5.E, the dark and anarchist-filled future of Cyberpunk, or the cramped terrifying atmosphere of Alien, you are guaranteed to find a game (and a group) to suit your play style! Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my players fully engaged with the story, whether it be through laughter or tense anticipation of the action to come. My goal is to create an immersive and gratifying experience for all involved! I am adept at crafting customized adventures tailored to each player's character, but I am also experienced in running pre-written modules for those who prefer a more structured gaming experience. Are you searching for a skilled and experienced game master to lead you on an exciting TTRPG adventure? Look no further because I am here to guide you! Don't hesitate to contact me if you are seeking a passionate and experienced game master to help bring your TTRPG adventure to life. Let's connect for a friendly chat and discuss how we can make your gaming experience one to remember!

How Kobold Kaverns (GM Mike) creates a safe table
⭐ - X, N, & O Communication: To make sure everyone feels comfortable at all times, we’ll be using the X, N, and O system. X means stop the game immediately if something crosses a serious boundary, N means something is approaching your discomfort zone, and O lets us know everything is okay. You’re always welcome to message me privately before, during, or after gameplay to use these signals or address anything else on your mind. This system allows for real-time feedback and ensures that any concerns can be handled promptly and with care. ⭐ - Open Door Policy: Real Life comes first - life happens, and that’s okay! My open-door policy means you can leave the game at any time for any reason-no questions asked, no pressure, no negative repercussions. Whether it's because of an emergency, discomfort, or simply because you're not enjoying the session, your well-being always comes first. I want you to know that your participation is always valued, but there’s no obligation to stay if real life calls or if the game’s not working for you. ⭐ - Our Gameplay: You can look forward to deep, narrative-driven sessions where character development, interaction, and teamwork are central. The world will present tactical challenges, and your decisions will have meaningful consequences-so think ahead! While I want you to have fun, when your character steps into a fire, expect them to get burned. The balance between risk and reward will drive much of the experience, and I’ll do my best to keep you on your toes! Your safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. By implementing these tools and practices, I hope to create a space where we can create a rich, immersive world together. Your comfort and feedback are vital to this, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts or suggestions along the way.
