Thanks to all for this little gem..
I just purchased all modules and also the Futurstic Theme I found a beautiful pairing..
After playing 5e, Vampire, CoC I found a Sci-Fi style ruleset other than Starfinder (too heavy for my requirements).. so I checked this and BAAAAMMM!!! It was love at first sight so I purchased also the main module from the publisher (ruleboonk and CMOM)..
So I am here for asking some things:
1) Have you any suggestions for finding Dark Sci-Fi battlemaps and music (paid or not is the same)
2) I found at first sight some typo bug related to the new update (only misalignement and some truncated text) so please tell me where I have to report it and if you prefer a screenshot or a description..
Again thank you for this great work..
Last but not least have all a great 2020 year..

Hi redba,
Tabletop Audio and Syrinscape has great content for sci-fi and dark moods, I was using the first exclusively during Alien/Coriolis games I ran last year. Syrinscape has great for Cyberpunk, official content for Cyberpunk RED and other sci-fi stuffs.
Also I have found a lot of good content in Spotify and YouTube, where a search for dark sci-fi, synth and etc will turn out a lot of results. Really, a lot of stuffs.
For MAPS... now this is the problem. I used for Warhammer 40k/Alien map assets from Gabriel Pickard, there are a lot of gritty floor plans that suit the settings. For the rest I have been using google search.
PS: Send me message with the bugs you found, I will fix them asap.The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.

Wow! Thanks for adding to Alien RPG. I'm really excited to play this, and this will help when I do get a campaign going.
@redba,
Have you tried drive-thru rpg? I backed a kickstarter for rpg maps by a group called Loke Battle Mats. The kickstarter is over, but you can find starship maps and more at drive-thru rpg.

Check out Heroic Maps on DriveThruRPG... they offer a selection of futuristic maps that might be of interest.

The resource-databank channel of the Discord ALIEN server has many ALIEN-style maps. The look and feel of the map is very different than Heroic Maps. I love the ALIEN-style maps for playing ALIEN (they work better with the rules as written), but I love Heroic Maps for D&D. Heroic Maps makes a very good product.

It is time for update on the 3.0 progress and mainly the PC Builder feature! We are almost ready - gear filtering and sorting remains before we can release this small face hugger in the wild. The current features are now implemented:
- Ability to load all careers, talents and gear from all currently loaded modules and custom content from the campaign. Modules shouldn't be loaded/unloaded while working with the builder.
- Key Attributes and Skills are marked upon career selection.
- Automated tracking of attribute/skill points allocation, including key attributes and skills.
- Career and Talent links are automatically added to Character Sheet upon "Save & Close"
- Android support
- Display Career, Talent and equipment info while browsing
- Gear sub window supports three modes: Pre-Defined, Free-Form and None. Pre-defined is for official modules only and allows picking the pre-defined gear only as per the career page. Free-form allows picking any gear from the Close Combat, Ranged, Protection & Other categories. None does not populate equipment.
- Visual indicator for incomplete section
To do:
- Equipment from the careers added to Character Sheet
- Section validation before commit to database
- Documentation!!!
Attached are screenshots from the various panels, WiP.
I hope this will be nice addition to Alien and will be available in the other Free league rulesets upon their launch.The past is a rudder to guide us, not an anchor to hold us back.
