Aliens Adventure Game Part 2

by  • 

Still aboard the derelict Walbran, Corporal McVenner and Pvt. Simmons of the Colonial Marines soon find themselves nearly alone as the aliens pick off more members of their team.  Having been sent to get evidence about a Hyperdyne executive named Winston Coombs, they now find themselves in a Mexican standoff with the man – they can’t return to his ship, the Mendez, without him, nor can they trust him not to simply kill them on the trip back.  But more importantly is the matter of mere survival.

On January 28, 2012 I ran the second part of the Aliens Adventure Game to finish out the story and the scenario.  My players were Steve and Erik.  The scenario was “Forced Entry” by by Roman J. Andron from Challenge Magazine #62.

Aliens Adventure Game Part 1

by  • 

Colonial Marines are paid to fight, but sometimes missions come along that require them to do a little bit more.  In this case, it was infiltration, disguised as a mercenary group.  On Oct. 14, 2179, one squad on the marine base on the planet Aerodyne in the Borodino Sector was ordered to do just that: get some dirt on a Hyperdyne executive named Winston Coombs.

Corporal Harold “Hal” MkVenner was a very handsome, solid man of 24 who had been in the Colonial Marines for about five years.  Private Andrew Simmons was neither as handsome nor as solid as MkVenner, but rumor had it that he had received an exceptional education prior to entering the corps.  The squad also included their CO, Lt. Oliver Smith; as well as Corporal Leo Brobski; Pvt. Wilson Kemps; Pvt. Michael Anderson; and Pvt. Mark Henson.

On July 30, 2010 I ran the Aliens Adventure Game as a one-shot to test out the game for a review in Knights of the Dinner Table Magazine.  My players were Steve and Erik.  The scenario was “Forced Entry” by by Roman J. Andron from Challenge Magazine #62.  We didn’t finish the scenario, unfortunately, but played some time later so look forward to Part Two.  Only the two detailed characters above were pcs.  The rest were npcs to fill out the squad.
