Playing Alien in ICRPG

I know Alex played and maybe still plays Alien in ICRPG. I was wondering if you have any weapon stats/pregens or other related stuff to share? I’m very close to setting a game up.

Oh, and do you use a sound board for effects?

I got XDZ a while ago. I also have the Alien RPG by Free League. I’m maybe just contemplating too much and need to get a game going.

Hey @svedsken, hit me up with a DM. I’ll hook you up.

And yes, I am still playing Aliens using ICRPG rules. Haven’t stopped!

For anyone wondering about the conclusion to this drama, we linked up on Discord, which also made the file transfer super easy!

  • 2 character traits.
  • Anything can be invoked for a mechanical benefit if appropriate.

Looks great dude! I have assembled most of my minis, but still lack 8 xenomorphs.

I painted some minis up a year ago for my club.

Thanks! No, they are the GF9 minis for the Aliens board game.

We used them for the cinematic scenario from the Alien rpg starter box.

These are 28mm marines. I got these on Gripping beast miniatures in Uk here. They are metal. 7.50 sterling.
Wish i could find Xenos cheap GF9 are too few for the price. Found there is a gap here for someone to fill.

I went for a Xeno hive style base with hot glue, think it works…
