This is an idea that's been tossed around a bit on the ShadowRN list the
last couple days. A friend of mine has a book (not a game book) that has
detailed info on the Aliens as well as the Marines and their equipment, and
we were talking about converting the stuff to the SR rules system, but as a
seperate game, not for SR, cause that'd be kinda silly, but interesting...:)

Kinda silly we did it a couple of years actually it more like 5 or 6 years
ago it was a whole lotta fun. But as a new guy to this discussion I figured
I'd ask any way. Your friend doesn't have the actual aliens game by leading
eded does he? There should be maps and equipment description as well as the
bio on the maries from the movie.

If you have to ask then it's probably classified.
Which means that I have to follow protocol.
But if you ask nicley I might forget that you asked.
Then again maybe not.

No, we don't. I sen the game played once, and was very disappointed, I must
say. But, that's ok... Creation is half the fun...:)
