If interested, there is another book in the games' series called The Series Sourcebook. It breaks down every episode of the TV show for all 7 standard seasons, going into great detail on the characters, equipment, vehicles, GELFs, and such that appear in those adventures. <br /><br />Really useful if you are looking to get the right feel but also expand the concepts with your own creations. <br /><br />If you do end up running a Red Dwarf game, please share! I'd love to hear about it.

I believe in credit where credit is due.<br /><br />As to <b>The Red Knight Chronicles</b>, that was originally created long before the <b>Alien RPG</b> was mooted and is more my spin on the original<b> Red Dwarf</b>.<br /><br />However, I always planned to introduce a "harder edge" to the reality of the game, as can be surmised from the range of influences I propose for the game.<br /><br />While <b>Alien</b> - and similar horror films - are cited as inspirations for the campaign (https://redknightchronicles.blogspot.com/2018/02/), it is only in recent weeks that I had begun to consider the possibility of actually blending the two games systems (as you would suggest).<br /><br />Please do have a poke about the site, it's one of my "campaign thought experiments" that I'm most proud of... which is why I keep returning to it.Tim Knighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845783872464372488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-11076464855149508382020-04-13T15:36:12.538-04:002020-04-13T15:36:12.538-04:00I can totally understand that.

With ALIEN a currently produced game from Fria Ligan/Free League Publishing, one need only grab a digital copy of the Red Dwarf game to have an awesome time three million years in the future. <br /><br />It's funny...InSpecters in a more than spiritual successor to the West End Games Ghostbusters RPG, but by combining the two together I've made a Ghostbusters game that's resulted in some of the best RPG sessions I've ever had. What each was missing the other perfected.<br /><br />I feel the same might be true of Red Dwarf and ALIEN. ALIEN would be the baseline system but perhaps a stat here and a subsystem there from Red Dwarf would create a game even greater than the sum of its already very impressive parts.

I'm really glad you liked the idea. <br /><br />Your Red Knight concept is interesting and I'm going to give it a full read through but from what I have seen so far it seems like it's a cross between Red Dwarf and Star Trek or The Orville more than ALIEN. Nothing wrong with that at all but I wonder if adapting a Panic Mechanic to Star Trek Adventures might be more in-line with what you're going for. <br /><br />Too crazy?Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-4971160566644925802020-04-13T08:11:10.965-04:002020-04-13T08:11:10.965-04:00You are correct, sir.

Red Dwarf is a perfect satire of science fiction horror, and I regret to this day that I delayed buying a copy of the RPG when it was in print.Gordon Cooperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12907319916602597979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-6173282311281169362020-04-12T18:10:16.305-04:002020-04-12T18:10:16.305-04:00I just can't believe this, I've been havin...I just can't believe this, I've been having the exact same thoughts on compatibility of settings.
