Grant, wishing you a full recovery without issue!

Ok I'm two years late but dear god - I hope you guys pick Alien RPG back up again. This is GREAT stuff!

@@TheGlassCannonAre those VODs available somewhere still? Can’t find them on Twitch and am subscribed 😕

Hearing Joe talking about his fear around flashlights, knowing that months later he decided to start streaming Dead Space, which is lit almost entirely by flashlight 😅

Train sequence reminds me of split second with rutger

Why is no one talking about Kate Stamas using Bishop meets Sherlock Holmes level deduction skills reading those ship logs? Even for a person who codes for a living, that was super impressive!

I am really enjoying watching Skid's face while Joe is describing the locations and settings. It's great watching someone who obviously loves the Alien universe get to play this amazing game.

Just rewatched in prep for my second attempt at ALIEN RPG. Still entertaining and educational a second time.

That was the most gruesome death described in a TTRPG I've ever heard.

This episode just makes me want them to play a grand campaign in alien RPG. Fingers crossed.

Grant failed his reflex save.

Ohhh, jeez, Grant. I'm a cyclist myself and have taken some nasty spills without getting any major injury, but I can just imagine how rough it was. Speedy recovery. Watch those trees man.

I thought he was a motorcyclist, how the hell do you do that on a little kids bicycle at speeds under 80?! I've literally come off at 160 kph and walked away with significantly less harm than this dude on his tricycle!

@@matthewhopkins7042 Bodily hit a tree and see what sort of shape you're in afterward. It also depends on how you land. He went over the bars; that's literally the worst thing for a cyclist as it's a head injury, facial injury, or upper body injury, like a broken collarbone or, in Grant's case, humerus. Grant's also a big guy, over 6'3". That's a lot of mass. F=mv is a b***h. You don't need a lot of speed to acquire a lot of force, and bones don't have a lot of shear resistance; something as little as 5 lbs can snap a bone.

Troy is great at playing on emotions and cultivating competitive spirit; Skid makes gameplay light and fun while keeping the drama believable and Joe is great at making an intensely dramatic story. Such a great team. Personally, I would love to play in a Joe GM'd game.

Gotta love Joe's sound FX...

I like how Joe makes the captain sound a little like Gorman.

you didn't give Liam a chance to block, but otherwise JOE's descriptions and reactions to what he's saying totally rocked, its like watching a movie and you feel your heart rate increase.

Such a fun group for such a GREAT game!

Super fun episode 🥰 Joe is a great GM - Loving this Aliens series - Ty ty all of ya 🥰 The Panic rules for this are amazing but wow can be so killer 🥰🤣 OMG - The look on Skids face when the creatures showed up - Awesome 🥰

Again thank you Joe and All, quite enjoyed !

No hits with seven base dice for that head crush attack? Joe has the same kind of luck rolling dice as I do. :P

Who needs to play Alien with these ER stories!

Man, I'm glad you're ok Grant! I fell off a cliff drunk in my early twenties (about a decade ago now) and exploded the anterior cruciate ligament in my right knee to such a point there was nothing left. Most painful experience ever, but I just made jokes and laughed to get myself through the pain. On the plus side, the beer was ok. When I landed it was still in my hand when I couldn't get up, so I just carried on drinking until my friends picked me up and took me home. I woke up the next day with blood and beer all over my bed, went to hospital like 3 days later to see the extent of the damage, was out clubbing a week and a half after that and the Nurse and Surgeon laughed because they said "you shouldn't even be able to stand, but you're jumping all over the place". Anyway, I'm from the UK and the NHS paid for me to have it done privately and the last thing I said as I was going into the operating theatre was "I watched the remake of Nightmare on Elm Street last night, so if I don't wake up it's because Freddy got me", then I was out like a light lol.

Joe’s DMing skills are insane! Great way of keeping the intensity and engagement! This is all scenario is homebrew?!

@TheGlassCannon

Жыл бұрын

Yes! All homebrew from scratch. It was a 3-person team that put the story together: Joe, McD, and friend of the show Matt Jones. Loved this story and hope to do more ALIEN homebrewing in the future!

Epic GM storytelling.

I just love Troy repping the nightshift hat

Joe makes for a great DM. Troy is obviously an incredible DM and Skid in the Azlant is also great, so good to have so many great storytellers on the cast. I haven't gotten round to see much of Matt or Grant DM but Joe really has a good tone of voice for it when he plays it straight.

1:36:00 now this is how you tell a story Peoples faces are so good as they get sucked into the narrative

Great session. Very interesting to see Troys cinematic perspective.

I plan on doing Chariot of the Gods for my group, our first session that will be outside of the regular DnD 5e Rules, (currently doing Curse of Strahd), so this is great to kind of get an idea of pacing and how to manage events etc.

Always solid performances from all you guys/girls😊👌🏻. Grant, I’m impressed you stayed in character with all the pain you must have - speedy recovery!

Captain Johns is very intense. I'm picturing Aliens/Terminator Michael Biehn

Well done Joe and all the crew........I'm not going on a train for a while...lol

I know your pain guys! I got totalled in a car wreck in 2007. Lower leg broken in six places, sticking out in two, upper thigh snapped in half and sticking 3" out of my leg, sixteen other smaller breaks and fractures including the knee and hipjoint and base of the spine, ribs, et al . ;) They shot me up even before I got to the hospital, thankfully, the medic told me it was basically moose tranquillizer. *lol*

Damn, there's a spot to Joe's lest side ... and I've been rubbing my screen with a solvent and wondering why is it not coming off !!! LOL

I really love Joe as game master!

I love these guys, wish they'd keep playing through the campaigns... This had some sick horror sci-fi.. Love it

I wasn't sure how combat would go from reading the manual, but it sounds like it captures the proper intensity and franticness (??) needed for the mood.

I have watched the first two episodes of this. First: Damn, I like you guys and how you get into it, Joe, amazing tension building and intensity

This system is awesome! More episodes please!

I get nervous just playing a regular game of Pathfinder, I cannot imagine being a player in these circumstances. But man does it make for an excellent show.

The weapons’ bonus is added to the dice 🎲 pool. For example, the .357 Magnum has a bonus of +1. So to make an attack roll, the dice 🎲 pool is: Agility + Ranged Combat + 1 + misc modifiers.

Troy is playing a convincing Paul Rieser. He's a very neurotic metropolitan Jewish man and his mannerisms really come across during the game.

Absolutely loving these sessions.

I am loving this game play of this group!

OMG! I do hope everyone is ok! Just started watching these and I love this series! Keep Up the Great Work! :)

Alien is great, but you guys figured it out fast - it's a brutal game, where the characters can all easily be killed with just one shot.

I'm really enjoying this. Thanks folks!

Good one!

This is a lot better than Aliens the movies! From the third movie on. Awesome work guys, and Kate. Have been laughing my pants off! Troy is hilarious

Great episode! I was surprised that Joe didn't hit the players with more stress when they first encountered the creatures on the train, but still incredible scenario and roleplaying!

Pinin' Grant! Rippin' it up. Hope you can overcome the mental barriers and keep on with it.

A plus. Wow. I need to know what a 9 is on the panic chart. I just rolled a nine on the panic die.

I don't know why but whenever i see Skid's headrest for his chair I think it's going to be an alien popping out.

Love you GCP come to Michigan!!

I relate to Kate so much when it comes to not watching movies lol

I hope you revisit this game soon :D absolutely awesome

The Conolly accent was funny for 2 minutes.

Get better Grant!

on seeing the dead bodies for the fist time no one given stress, aside form the not making full use of the stress mechanic pretty good session

Joe puts emphasis on words like he just heard about English for the first time today.

Never been a more stressful game!

RIP Lynn, didn't deserve that death.

too good bruhs

close the podbay doors dizzy lol
