Here is the thread to out of character discussions.
Discussion - Our of character
Be sure to read and follow the guidelines for our forums.
Sep 27, 2024 2:20 pm
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 ?
Sep 27, 2024 3:15 pm
I'm gonna try to have the admins here add a new template for our character sheet. Ill keep you all informed !
Sep 27, 2024 3:41 pm
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.
Sep 27, 2024 4:27 pm
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.

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?

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 !
Sep 28, 2024 1:08 am
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 want to play the reprogrammed terminator, so you probably get to pick my PC's 'name'. I was leaning towards picking a leaner, faster chassis (pilot/driver, agility, ranged weapons &c.), though maybe I should change that depending on who else wants to play what.
Sep 30, 2024 3:56 pm
GM: Done slight alterations to the character sheet. Maze Navona has 400 in cash. And she is a good pilot. Need some placement data from the GM.

Maze Navona -- The reckless speed pilot
The stars are the limit, and they are limitless. You aren’t content to keep your feet on the ground, and on the Frontier, there’s no need to. From starfighters to dropships, freighters to frigates, there’s always something that needs flying - and some aerospace-stunt that only you can pull off. You aren’t in this for the money, although it doesn’t hurt. You’re a thrill-seeker and an adrenaline junkie.
Danger is the rush you live for but stay frosty. Otherwise, the next time you find yourself dodging through an asteroid belt or seeing the ground rush up to meet you might be your last.
Height: 5"6"
Weight: 145#
Age: 28 years Old
Hair: Straight Light Brown
Eyes: Hazel
Signature Item: Pilot Shades
Just need placement, Rival, & Buddy ? That and spend her $400 before she steals more!

Lets just say follow the rules from the book: You got to choose 2 item from your career list and more gear depending on how much cash you rolled. Since you start post Judgement Day, humanity doesnt use cash anymore... am I clear ?

Also, perhaps the other players have opinions on what kind of model would be, uh, requisitioned by this cell of resistance from whatever stashes of captured (and reprogrammed) models the resistance has.

Well Maze spent her cash all out for her third personal item. Fancy gun. I assume she has small personal stuff & backpack for her stuff is free.
Just need to do a background about her piloting. Armed forces? That and the buddy & rival area.

As a heads up, I am headed home from vacation today so won't be online on my phone for like 7 hours. (Just not paying for airplane wi-fi. Gonna sleep as much as I can.) Once I land, I can start actually typing out my character -- but I have it mostly worked out on scratch paper. Should have it submitted tonight or -- if I pass out due to my sleep schedule conflicting with time zones -- first thing in the morning.
Edit: Was meaning to ask... a fair bit of the gear from the Alien books is pretty future-tech. Terminator, as a setting, isn't so far flung. When it comes to gear should we limit ourselves to semi-modern stuff, or use the future stuff and just don't look behind the curtain?

Everyone, for the final touches of your characters, just write down a small background of happened on your life when Judgement Day arrived.
Also, choose one member of the team that will be your buddy and one that will be your rival.

Rather than create a bunch of new entries I’ve just been editing my initial character draft on page 2 of this thread. I’m pretty much done, just waiting for the other characters to be submitted before I pick a buddy/rival. Then I will update my actual character profile with all the new info.
Oct 1, 2024 7:27 pm
Yeah. Maze is an ex-combat pilot. Not gone long enough to be forgotten and there is plenty of need. When you need a pilot for a dangerous mission, her name is on that list now days. She prefers helicopters but she can handle anything that flies and does well with stuff that doesn't. Has number one hate for machines as they have done in too many people she knew. And she is a decent shooter.

Charles is a computer programmer in his 40s. He used to work for Cyberdyne System when judgement day came. He's not sure how he was spared, and he is riddled with guilt for his small part in the end. He has since tried to use his techical know how for the resistance. He prefers working in the lab, but guilt drives him to volunteer for fieldwork.

As for the Rival, I'm thinking some other actiony character (soldier or pilot) is a likely natural pick, just because of a partial overlap in specialties.
Unless sudden urgent work becomes necessary, I expect that I should be able to finish my PC in 8-10 hours. If there's any input before that, I'm open to reading it throughout the workday.

Hey, weird thing to notice but...
As I'm finishing filling out my sheet, I'm putting in my gear and I noticed there are two listings for the same weapon.
The M42A Scope Rifle has the chart, which lists it as a +2 bonus, +2 damage weapon -- but the picture lists it as a +1 bonus, +3 damage weapon.
Clearly, one entry is a typo but which one? So I'll let the GM decide which one is correct.

Should be everything. I mostly used the Colonial Marines Operations Manual for creation, so if there are any inconsistancies or anything just let me know.
My idea was the SGT. Hanson was already a scout sniper in the Marines before judgement day, and easily fell in with the resistance once the robots took over. He had seen action before the apocalypse, not just after it. The military itself may be a thing of the past, but he still goes by his rank as a way of holding on.

Should be everything. I mostly used the Colonial Marines Operations Manual for creation, so if there are any inconsistancies or anything just let me know. My idea was the SGT. Hanson was already a scout sniper in the Marines before judgement day, and easily fell in with the resistance once the robots took over. He had seen action before the apocalypse, not just after it. The military itself may be a thing of the past, but he still goes by his rank as a way of holding on.

Rolling the starting 'cash' (to be spent on gear if possible, which is probably what the terminator had on it when captured). This will be 'spent' on the cheaper of the pistols.

This is 'T8'.
A general-purpose infiltrator, expected to get into a human camp while posing as a 'civilian' (thus not carrying serious weapons), engage in sabotage of heavy equipment and/or use superior strength to overpower any guards, obtain weapons, and proceed from there. Got spotted early because one of the humans started hassling him about 'where he got some hair dye', and the back-and-forth attracted too much attention from the soldiers. And then one well-placed electric shock gave the Resistance an opportunity to fill their ranks with another machine.

Note: i'm generally avoiding getting ahead of the players of human characters, because it seems unlikely for a terminator to be 'chatty' with no reason. But if the pacing requires a post already on my behalf, do inform me and I'll make something earlier than planned.
