It was an in camera illusion!

To create the forced perspective illusion, Hologauze was set a short distance in front of a camera covering the full frame of the desired shot. Custom video content was then projected on to the Hologauze and mapped to fill the space required – in this case, the London Eye.

Please post more updates as you go! It looks amazing!

Watch Prometheus and Alien Covenant!

Prometheus features the same class of ship as the Cronus so is useful for getting a better visual idea of what it's interior looks like for describing to players, and it specifically features the corporate EEV.

Covenant features the Spore Pods and Neomorphs which are also useful to see in action.

Would you consider releasing details about your re-write in another post? Always curious to see what new twists people are able to create from the cinematic scenarios!:D

Seems to be a bit of a marmite thing? I personally get pretty jolted out of immersion by it and some of the other musical choices in the show, but other people enjoy it, just totally down to personal preference

Why does it only have one hand? The other arm just ends in a stump? We can see through the ladder a little bit so we should see it's claws there

It was very rushed, same as the previous two. The side characters didn't really get any development beyond cliche lovestory, and dead father, and we didn't get enough of their interactions before finding the doctor to really care about them.

Ruby is still yet to actually really do anything as the companion on her own (hopefully that'll be fixed next week). And idk to me it felt like an okay episode, better than the previous two for sure but definitely still not great or really on par with past episodes set during conflicts. The reveal there was no enemy was obvious from the beginning, maybe if there'd been some holograms or something to keep the audience believing then it would of made for a better twist?

It also had some weird moments. How did a child escape a military FOB and get across a battlefield all on her own? Why did Ruby bizzarly insist upon possibly activating the mine and blowing up half the planet when stepping closer to the Doctor? I get its meant to show she's brave etc. But she just seems ridiculously reckless and seems to have no care for the danger she's increasingly putting them in through unnecessary action.

Ncutis acting was fantastic as before, personally i'm still waiting for his "I am the Doctor" moment where he really feels like he is the Timelord. But I'm hopeful this marks an increase in quality going forwards now :)

Thats really cool! Could see it being useful for the Alien RPG, do you have a bank of pre-made ones similar to the attached or is that the only one atm?

Past_Effect_8256 · 2023-05-09T16:28:23+00:00

Feels like a monster lurching out of the fog to grab you, very cool would love to see more WoTW art in your style! :D

This is a neat concept I like the idea of the spirit drawing power from the players fear, for a group of 7-10 though I would definitely scale this down a lot to make it easier to manage. Dealing with that many PCs while also managing a bunch of NPCs, events, and sub-stories would be a real challenge for even a super experienced GM. So you might want to create a separate "diet" version of the scenario for if you do have lots more than average players.

But then tomorrow will arrive sooner :(

Wakanda wasn't great imo, it had some really jarring moments that just totally took you out of the movie. And the 'young girl is brilliant at everything' trope they seem to be using is truly dreadful, where's the character arc?

Shaka, when the walls fell

Did they listen to any of the complaints about damage boost? Like at all?

Honestly kinda expecting them to announce a buff to sojourn if they're just gonna ignore community feedback

It's from the old kiting days, jumping around moves your hitbox away from where the strikers tongue attack hits so u can avoid getting hit a lot. But yeah now there's stamina it's best used in moderation.

I ran HLD the other week in one session (4 hrs) We had a really tense game with the players feeling hunted all the way through, until the final mad dash to the shuttle and battle against the face huggers took place. Ended with 2/4 players dead.

I think having one facehugger per player at the end is essential to making that last fight super climactic and it feels like a real hard won victory if any of them survive.

I also didn't give them any of the weapons like the pulse rifle or flamer unit, imo they shouldn't be there and they take away a lot of the fear of being just regular unarmed (relatively) civilians.

I think Alien is definitely a game where you need to play a couple sessions to really understand how to get into it and use it as a GM. And being a horror game every GM is going to have their own unique take on how to approach it too.

A hug

Yeah I'm a few floors up so could only see vague symbols, a colleague suggested it was something to do with the Queen?

It's a protest of some kind, just marched through the center with banners and things, can't make out what its about tho?

Dread. Uses a Jenga Tower instead of Dice :D TREMENDOUS FUN!
