Once again, I got to run a game for the Enter The Nerdom podcast, along with special guest Dan Mason.

Here’s where you can find Enter The Nerdom Ep. 46 – Alien RPG Tabletop; if you don’t see your favorite podcast venue of choice, check again in case I missed it.

• Audacy
• Apple
• Spotify

There will be a video version of this episode with cameras on the battle maps and gaming table coming soon!

I ran Steve Hatherley’s Perfect Organism scenario with a few minor tweaks and it was almost a Paranoia-level hose-job for the players! I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a scenario that does a great job tying right into the first two ALIEN movies.

We’ll be doing a sort of post-session breakdown, explore some of the alternative events and some other actual plays of the scenario, and discuss ALIEN: Romulus later this week! I’ll make sure to really take you behind the scenes of the scenario when we do that.

Update 8/5/2024: We pushed the recording to Sunday 8/18, so the podcast episode will be up sometime soon after that.

Last May, my friends from Enter The Nerdom — a podcast about all things fans love about movies, shows, comics, super heroes, gaming, and more, hosted by Chad, Stan, and Watson — invited me to chat about the origins of the tabletop roleplaying game hobby-turned-industry, and then I ran them through a one-shot dungeon crawl using the scenario Puzzle Dungeon: Seer’s Sanctum with the dead-simple rules of Knave (technically, I used a hack of the first edition). Joined by another friend of ours, Dan Mason, we had an absolute blast. (Check out all our antics in these posts.)

In celebration of the release of ALIEN: Romulus, I’m going to run ALIEN The Roleplaying Game for them. I found an incredibly fitting cinematic scenario to run. (I’ll post which one after the episode comes out; free cake* to anyone able to guess it listening to the episode before my reveal!)

As I often do, I spent some time revising the scenario and crafting some homemade props for it, so I’ll share those with the episode reveal, as well. Just to whet your appetite:

• Custom xenomorph and other character pawns (in the style of Pathfinder Pawns)
• Additional deck plans
• Homemade agenda cards
• Homemade initiative cards for ALIEN’s unique initiative and action tracking system
• …and other handouts!

We’ll be recording the episode Sunday August 11th, and I’ll drop an update with the reveal and custom goodies once it’s live on all the usual channels!

*The cake is a lie.
