[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 8101627, member: 6785785"] I think certain games are going to lend themselves to a more structured(?) approach. Many games have a very broad take on setting or theme. Alien, I think, is going to have a more specific focus than other games. All you really need is the kind of info they include in their cinematic scenarios; a location, some goals for the PCs that will inform play, and then an inciting event. So a crew of shippers whose last job fell apart and so they did not get paid come across a derelict ship. I think that fits the general description of an “adventure” but can still fit the mold of “playing to find out”. Of the two published scenarios I know of for the game, I wouldn’t view either one as being too heavily GM determined. Each of them very much relies on the players to play their characters with their goals in mind. Neither has a specified victory condition or a set sequence in which the action must take place. But the players do tend to want to engage with the central premise, and their goals are likely related to that. [/QUOTE]
