grandmastergm Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 Hello everyone, Did anyone make xenomorphs, yautja and colonial marines for HERO System? I'm going to run a Star Wars Vs AVP game, run like the way I imagined the movie to be instead of the horrifically lame movies from 2004 and 2007 along with a Star Wars that resembles the Original Star Wars + Rogue One + The Mandalorian. I would also like to see Ellen Riley and Dutch team up, so if anyone ever stated them out- that would be a big help! Let me know, Grandmaster GM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I found a few xenomorph and yautja (under various names) Hero write-ups, for Fourth and Fifth Edition Hero System. Links below.

I may poke around again when I have more time. Mathew Robert Ignash and tkdguy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Liaden Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 "Yautja" is what the officially-licensed fiction spawned from the film franchise has declared the Predators' name for their species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 There's a franchise? I thought that Danny Glover one pretty well killed any chance of more of those. massey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 Just to clarify: Was that sarcasm, or are you genuinely not aware of the successive movies around the Predator concept? (Not that the majority of them are particularly worth awareness of.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the third Predator movie, but I skipped the fourth one due to its box office flop, poor critical reviews, and devastating fan review. Thank you Lord Liaden for your finds!

Lord Liaden Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 You're welcome -- I hope they were helpful. By "the third Predator movie," I'm guessing you mean Predators starring Adrien Brody, from 2010. I enjoyed that one myself, enough to buy it on DVD. It was written as a direct sequel to the first Predator, completely ignoring Predator II which was probably a good idea. OTOH the most recent film has been almost universally panned by critics and fans, which was a surprise to me given Shane Black's directing credits plus his acting role in the very first film. Some online sources treat the two Alien vs Predator films as a separate franchise and continuity, which I guess makes sense. As for writing up an Alien Queen, in her immobile egg-laying form she's a plot device, stats not really needed IMO. For her mobile form she's essentially just a really big xenomorph. I'd take whatever basic xeno character sheet you use, add a Size template ("Large" would be enough, I think), increase her Killing Attacks and Defenses proportionately, and add Extra Limbs for her additional pair of arms.

Fair enough. How would you build the alien eggs? Would it be a barrier for the facehugger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massey Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 The egg just needs Def and Body. It's just an object. If you get within a foot or so, the facehugger can jump out at you. You saw how it worked in the movies. It doesn't need a game mechanic for that. "Summon Facehugger, OAF" is probably overthinking it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Liaden Posted March 17, 2020 Report Share Posted March 17, 2020 In the movies, once a face hugger latches on to someone, it's practically impossible to remove. In that case I might run the eggs as a Triggered Transform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
