Whether someone make an impromptu system for aliens in shadowrun, it'll
never happen officially. FASA doesn't own the rights.

Agreed, and I wouldn't want to see it officially... it wouldn't really fit
into the world well, plus someone does own the rights for a role playing
game, but it kinda sux...:)

But as a one shot adventure for Shadowrun, or as a homebrew Game System
using the corerules from SR, it would be a cool idea...:) And a lot of fun...:)

I'm currently writing an adventure that involves Spiders taking over
a hospital after the players are inside. It's going to be very
alienesque. So, IMO, the invae (insect spirits) work just fine.

Oh wait. Did you mean aliens or Aliens? If it's just regular
intergalacic aliens, then no. Not in Shadowrun. Call me
conservative, but I like shadowrun the way it is with IEs, dragons,
invae, critters, magic, technology, and the lone horror to round it
out. I feel that aliens would be that one additional ingredient that
would ruin the stew. All IMHO :)

Well I have aliens (the little greeen men type) in a couple of my
adventures ... but the players have never seen them .. and never will
or if they do they will wake up with severe memory lapses ... :)

They are there but to smart to be seen ...

Aliens ... No I don't have any of them acid bleeding killers ... but
hey it is nothing that is going to stop you from ... some nasty
Aztech genetic experiment gone horribly wrong :)
