[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 7939158, member: 11760"] There's a lot more they can do with the line. Maybe it doesn't have the legs of a LotR or Star Wars (present difficulties aside), but off the top of my head: 1) Sourcebooks on various aspects of the Aliens universe (some of these are already in the works, I understand) 2) A fleshed out atlas, or series of atlases, on worlds throughout the universe, using material from non-movie material that will be new to a lot of fans 3) A bestiary that contains more threats than just the xenomorphs, which will help extend the line's life 4) A sourcebook for Earth and the Solar System which would dramatically expand the play possibilities -- I can imagine running the equivalent of Blade Runner adventures inside the Solar System 5) One or more lines of campaign adventures 6) And, of course, lots of terrifying standalone one-shot adventures (releasing these each October seems like a fun way to create an annual tradition) Aliens is easily one of the biggest licenses ever adapted to RPGs -- I love Goodman Games' works, but all of their licenses [I]combined[/I] aren't as popular as Aliens. That's a huge audience to potentially appeal to, at a time when the RPG audience is bigger than it's ever been. [/QUOTE]
