I’m about to run Adventures on Dungeon Planet and wanted to see if I could make it feel a bit more like an action Scifi Movie. think Aliens, Doom or Starship Troopers. I have come up with a couple basic moves and some thematic elements that I think will work. What do you think? Any suggestions? Feel free to comment here or on the doc.

  1. Take ‘Em With You: Instead of rolling last breath, choose to die in a dramatic last stand, clutching a grenade, or emptying your clip into the wave of oncoming enemies. Roll + the amount of damage that killed you. On a hit, you clear the room of enemies for long enough to clear your party’s escape. On a 7-9, your explosive exit sparks a further complication (eg the grenade in Aliens knocking Newt down the shute)

  5. When you interrogate someone you suspect is infected by an alien intelligence, roll+WIS.

    • On a 12+, you definitely know who is and who is not infected.

    • On a 10+, you’re pretty sure you know. The GM will tell you more truths than lies (for example, two truths and one lie).

    • On a 7-9, you only have suspicions. The GM will tell you more lies than truths (for example, one truth and two lies).
