Welcome to GP, Surrealist38! A few of us are indeed playing Alien, and it's a solid choice for PbP play. Hope to see you around!

I thought it might be because of Year Zero Engine.

Yup! The more complex end of the YZE spectrum is a little rougher for PbP play (Forbidden Lands and especially T2K, though people play those too!), but it works really well with the pushing mechanics being full in the players' hands and such.

I wonder how pushing works given the roll mechanics here. Are stress dice simply rolled separately from base dice?
