1000 Year Old Vampire. Come for the cool looking book. Stay for the horror of having to write a journal entry where you feast on the little beating hearts of babies in a depression era hospital. You want to stop but instead something inside you forces you to write page after page in ever more gruesome detail. Are you having fun yet?

    Mothership is the best "Alien" RPG there is, because it makes you feel the same way people felt when watching that movie for the first time, even without a clue about what was "the Alien".

    The problem with the Alien franchise is that we know everything there's to know about the threat, so we're just waiting for the characters to catch up.

    If things go the right way, you never know what will happen. It is suspenseful in all the right ways and it strongly discourages encounters, way more than any Cthulhu games. You really feel like an ordinary joe in a very dangerous job, with a flimsy suit, facing unearthy horrors.

    If the master can handle it well, I would say it was chest pounding.

    But I didn't survive.

    Try Brindlewood bay and unleash your inside Jessica Fletcher.

    Alternatively, you can also become McGyver's gram.

    My group of 50-year old Traveller-and-B/X-playing dudes LOVES Brindlewood Bay! We went absolutely nuts for it.

    I'm sorry. Can people please learn the fucking difference between "your" and "you're"?

    I feel like it's really hard for people who learnt after smartphones. When autocomplete gets it wrong they don't notice

    Obviously the way of remembering which is which is "you're" is short for "you are" (hence the apostrophe) and "your" isn't. But they also need to practice while keeping that rule in mind

    English as a second language people seem to do better than first language users
