Daleks. They got a lot out of a simple design.

I've always been a huge fan of the sea devils- they are very alien, but not from a different planet, so I'm not sure if they count.


If not, then it's a toss up between the drashigs and shai-hulud.

Thank you Art. Yes, of course, Mongoose! I'll try that.

I was just listening yesterday to a podcast with the Mongoose guys talking about taking over the Traveller line... didn't even put two-and-two together!

It's always curious to see what ends up showing up on here as things get closer to the end of things. I feel like sometimes there are some big drops in the beginning. Sometimes things show toward the end. So even going through here thinking oh hey might be doing good with not spending a bit & then BAM stuff shows up. Gotta love the randomness of VFM time.

How could I forget the aliens from Babylon 5? They were all well drawn, especially the primary races of the Centauri, Narn and Mimbari. The minor races that showed up were interesting as well. And the Shadows and Vorlons were downright terrifying.

It's the Floran from videogame Starbound. They are a sentient humanoid plant-based race. Tribal and carnivorous. Prone to appropriating technology from other races - violently. And still debating whether meat-based life forms (like humans) are truly sentient, or if it's just projection by empathetic Floran.

Here. have what is ostensibly a review of a book about text-based video games, but is instead a deep look at how text interacts with games and how LLMs do and don't interact with that tradition.

Why isn't this over on VGG? Because it honestly has more tp say about the tabletop RPG tradition.
