Discussion - Our of character

Here is the thread to out of character discussions.

Since it's an homebrew ruleset, we can try and adapt the careers coming from the Alien RPG core rulebook and the colonial marines operations manual into Tech-Com (or else) soldiers working with / under John Connor.

I'm also open to players who want to play a character from the past where (when) the soldiers are sent.

We can talk about it on the main thread of the forum. We will play on a specified thread.


Hmm. I have only the Mutant Year Zero book as a guide and less game play experience with the system.

How do us poor individuals wishing death and destruction have fun with making needed characters?

I have Enforcer, Gearhead, Stalker, Fixer, Dog Handler, Chronicler, Boss, & Grunt for my selections. You probably have a different selection.

I did a NPC character sheet but I deleted it by accident. Can anyone remind me how I can assign a character sheet to the players ?

I'm gonna try to have the admins here add a new template for our character sheet. Ill keep you all informed !

No idea how. I do 5e and strictly use the 5e standard sheets but I have seen in games where they had options to use special custom sheets but no idea how that was done.

Thanks for the invite! I downloaded a YZE reference guide and will start looking through it when I have some time. Time to start brainstorming a character.

You can also check the Alien RPG corebook ! ;)

Cool. I have a character now in the new template. I have "Alien RPG - Starter Set - Rulebook 2020" Pdf and I have "Aliens - Colonial Marines Technical Manual" pdf

New character is called temporally, "Year Zero". :)

Woot. So how are you wanting us to create characters?

STARTING SCORES: You can distribute 14 points
across your attributes. You can assign no less than 2 and no
more than 5 points to any attribute.

cross your starting skills. Each career lists a number of associated skills. You can
only start the game with a skill level 3 in your career skills
– all other skills are limited to a starting level of 1.

STARTING TALENTS: You start with 1 talent from your career's list.

You can choose from the Aliens or Colonial Marines books for career. Many of these careers can be easily fitted into the Resistance / Tech-Com soldiers !

Alien's pdf is a Starter. It has no Career listed. Colonial Marines lists fluff only and not mechanics. I don't own the full Alien RPG core book.

Year End book. I like the thought of something like an Enforcer. Can you work with that? Probably more in the martial arts area with a gun.

Can you set me up with profile and such for that? & can work on the background.

I have the Alien core book, and the Colonial Marines Operations Manual. Should be a solid basis to get started.

I'll try to get a character together this weekend. I'm thinking a Scientist of some kind.

I might go with a mechanic type. Someone who works on the old Toyotas the resistance uses to fight hunter killers 😂
