gregory blair it's an in universe tech manual, covering the weapons and equipment seen on screen in Aliens, used by the USCM. There is some supposition, but it's pretty realistic and fits plausibly. It's got cool illustrations, including photos of uniforms and equipment modeled specifically for the book.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
I just ordered Stay Frosty also, and I have a Colonial Marines Technical Manual too!
ReplyDeleteI remember coveting the tech manual when I was in high school. Flipping through it at Waldenbooks.
ReplyDeleteI have the tech manual. It has informed several of my projects; I even gave it away as a gift once, and found I needed to get myself another copy.
ReplyDeleteWhat is it, an in universe tech manual? Or an out of universe exploratory and background work?
