Hmmm.
Anyway.
Aliens: Game Over gets its first revision to 0.2!
* Various edits thanks to my lovely editor and wife Amber.
* New Planet: A6 454
* New Equipment: Pheromone collar
* New Monster: Alien Hybrid Terminator
All due to Dragon*Con, where I picked up Aliens: Hive and Aliens vs. Predator vs. Terminator. You can pick up the latest version at http://michael.tresca.net under Freebies.

Looking through the various advanced careers, all awesome by the way, I noticed that the advancement chart did not jive with the skill and feat descriptions listed below the med tech. It seemed like the chart would be more fitting for a teacher. Also, is the med-tech more like a doctor than a field medic like Dietrich from "Aliens?" Thanks. Constantly looking more updates. Plus, I'm going to have to pick up your mercs book. Cheers.

Heh, as appealing as that may sound, I feel using artwork from copyrighted sources is really pushing it. Text is one thing, graphics is a bit over the line.Emirikol said:
Additionally, for whatever reason MS Word has a hissy fit when I put graphics in and explodes every time. Especially when I reformat it and add more content. I'd like to put graphics in too (probably created on my own), but it's not worth the frustration and time.
On the other hand, I've gotten a lot of experience about how to write one of these books, which is useful should I ever publish a similar but unique (i.e., my own copyright) product.
Short answer: no graphics any time soon.

Sorry. I had written a spiel about how I'd come into possession of a brainstorming memo for a purported Aliens RPG a few years back, for which Lee Brimmicombe-Wood was supposedly tapped as a creative consultant. According to the guy who passed it along to me (to help with a GURPS conversion I was doing at the time -- this was a couple of years before d20), the project had actually gotten a greenlight from FOX but was later nixed when shooting began on Resurrection. My original message was overlong; it essentially boiled down to "Would you like me to email you the file, plus some of my own stuff derived from it?"

Holy crap! And you DELETED that post? Why man, WHY?!

I wouldn't mind at all. I should state though, that I'd be extremely leery of taking someone else's work that was official and then using it in the semi-questionable d20 capacity. I.e., I'd hate to use something claiming it's the "real RPG" as a source, only to have a real RPG come out later and be seriously pissed about leaking a rough draft. But if you feel it's legit -- or conversely, if you feel it's seriously not legit -- send me a PM and let's talk.
