We were planning on joining Hulu during thier end of year special to see Alien : Romulus in addition to a few others. We are Alien fans. In regards to Predator... We have seen the trailers for both the tv series and movie. Neither of them thrilled or excited us to want to see either.

Just a bloody amateur here,
thought about creating an own RPG back in the 80ies, after being in contact with DSA, D&D, AD&D 2nd, T&T, Rolemaster and several others.
It never came to more than intense thinking about it for several reasons:
1. Playing a given system (and tweaking it to some extend) is so much more fun compared to developing rules š
2. Comming up with a new idea only to learn, system XY has it already implemented.
3. Choice of dice/dice-mechanism. I could never figure out whether d20 or d100 is the right (main) mechanism
4. The idea of development of a whole world for playing is overwhelming and I would rather write a novel than develp a world and then have to write adventures in it.
5. Even with modern computer assistance it still is a heroic task. Back in the 80ies it looked like the horror.
6. With some home-adventures and semi-professional-adventures under the belt, I still feel doing a whole system is the horror š
Just my thoughts on creating a RPG, feel free to ignore it š
Ciao and happy gaming

Thanks, John! You're right! As usual I miss something that is probably obvious. š

I'm so glad we're doing this! I've been watching mostly trash/action/martial arts lately, so this will be a really nice change up.
