[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 8402092, member: 6779310"] And it got several silvers in the Ennies for the [I][U]Destroyer of Worlds[/U][/I] Cinematic Adventure. Corebook got Gold last year for best game. Everything using the YZE gets good reviews, are great reads, and are readily implemented in play. Most also have processes for random adventure prompts and open world mode play. Alien is amongst the best of the YZE games. But they're all excellent: Vaesen, Coriolis, Forbidden Lands, Mutant Year Zero, Tales from the Loop, Things from the Flood... I've read all of those corebooks, I've run Vaesen and Alien. And now Twilight 2000. It, too, is Year Zero Engine... but using a different mechanic for generating the dice. I'll note that the Coolness Under Fire (CUF) rules in T2K do evoke a good bit of feel. The look on my players when the gang of hardened marauders didn't make CUF checks first round was priceless... I'd special-ruled this batch - due to their meth, they got to ignore the first CUF test... most other Non-KGB NPCs have fled combat. [/QUOTE]
