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.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Correction in comments, I'm still mad Ok, I found out the 5e allosaurus from Tomb of Annihilation was only CR2 and was outraged, so I made a comparison of a D&D character and allosaurus specimen MOR 693. Then I compared the allosaurus to a polar bear, also CR2. The bear has 5HD and the allosaurus has 6HD. So, I take it back. CR 2 is fine.
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?
