About the adventure
This game is for new players, those who have gone through the scenarios before, or those who are just curious. This is great for those who wanted to play through each scenario all at once. These are the three we shall go through: Chariot of the Gods - Your team discovers a craft in the middle of nowhere and must bring and its crew back to home base. By any means necessary... Destroyer of Worlds - Sent to a colony to take care of on-site terrorists, things take a turn for the worse for you and your squad of marines. That may not be just rain falling... Heart of Darkness - Study a new life form on a prisoner station and report back to the company with the results. If only it was all so easy... There are pre-generated characters available if you want to jump right on in, OR you can create your own (though there might be a role necessity for certain scenarios). Safety tools shall be in effect and discussed before we start the session. There will be ambience, SFX, and the use of maps from Roll20 and the source materials. Though the Roll20 version of the trilogy has NOT been updated with the EVOLVED edition, we will be using the EVOLVED ruleset). No A.I. assets will be used. I try to ensure that the music, the graphics, voices come from authentic human talent.

About me
It's time to get green. Super green. The name is Jericho (He/Him); been a Game Runner since 2017, starting off with D&D and then moved to Blade Runner, Alien, Delta Green, and more and more as I just started to indulge in the many worlds there are. Giving players the type of immersive game experience means that not only do I attempt to describe the wonders and horrors, I also create SFX using Audacity to the table (for when an alien from another dimension skitters across the ceiling). Bringing the movie/cinema experience for my players is a style that brings a smile to my face. So far, I am someone that runs published modules though someday, I would like to run my own in the future.

Creating your character
Character creation should happen before our session so the personal agendas can be discussed, especially if it is a custom character and their interactions amongst the crew/squad/group. I will assist using the Roll20 website and materials.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
There is a discord for you to join (it is still a work in progress but should be good to go): https://discord.gg/TTCkwfTcf After that, if you have not already, make an account on Roll20: https://roll20.net/welcome When those are completed, we will have an onboarding process to which, the link to the game room will be presented!
What Jericho brings to the table
A game like this to me requires immersion in not only in sight but also sound. I shall provide music from the films , ambience, sound effects, as well as maps, tokens, pre-gen character sheets (mostly from Roll20) and a sense of terror (for your characters). Each campaign has a different feel as "Chariot of the Gods" is more the original Alien, while "Destroyer of Worlds" is more AlienS and "Heart of Darkness" a mixture. Because the beginning scenario is a way to get to know your other players and the way the game works, we will take our time to note any (in)consistencies on how everyone plays. As we get further in the first campaign and start on the next, gameplay changes where your character is not given as much to survive without others (or making really painful choices).
Homebrew rules
The EVOLVED edition of Alien: The RPG game has been released and with it, some changes to how panic and battles work. I will be using that with the trilogy and adjusting some other aspects the core rulebook has not touched upon.

Safety
How Jericho creates a safe table
The Universe of Alien is not compromising but I am! I will have a link to showcase Lines and Veils, to ensure we do not go to specific on certain subject matter. Racism, Homophobia, Sexism. None of that in the table nor as a character "just being in character". I do have digital cards within the game (Xs, Ns, Os) but if there is something that is uncomfortable or too intense and want to do it privately, can send a private message and will convene while pausing the session to see how you and everyone else is doing. There will be a ten minute break in-between sessions so folks can stretch, get water/snacks, etc.
