ALIEN RPG the NEW ALIEN CANON

I think this Canon is the RPG Games own Canon where it draws in Various Canon from the Movies and Modifies it a Little. 

And so in Context to the RPG Game then YES all the Events of the Movies had Happened... but this is NOT to say that within the Movies Canon, that all the Events of the Board Game had Happened.

THEY did have Various People work on a BIBLE for the Franchise... One was supposed to be being WORKED ON before the Change to Alien Covenant (at the Time of and after the Dark Horse Fire and Stone Comics) and then another was being worked on AFTER the Events of Alien Covenant as a Source for Future Movies and Games, Comics to work with.   These BIBLES may had been Very Different in some cases to the Andrew E C Gaska works.

But it seems that Games/Movies made within the Last 3 Years do Reference from his BIBLE.

Oh I thought he became the overseer of ALIEN canon

What are your thoughts on the ALIEN RPG?

It seems that in 2018 then Andrew Gaska and Paul Elliot went about to Produce the Concept behind the RPG Game, by coming up with some Background to the ALIEN Franchise, to FLESH OUT a lot of things..... it seems the Source Material for their Ideas that they Created has been USED for Comics/Novels from 2019 to a Degree.

And so their WORK may be used as a Reference Point from NOW ON.. but this does-not mean that any TV Show or Movies will FOLLOW what they have Explored/Explained to the BOOK/LETTER.

And so Producers/Directors of such Project have FREEDOM to go and Change anything they want..... although the Executives at Disney or WHO they assign to WATCH OVER any Projects will have the Greatest Input/Say.  So IF they agree with what Gaska and Elliot have ADDED then thats what will go into a Project but if the Director/Producer has a IDEA that something is Explored in a Different at to Gaska and Elliots Ideas and the Executive for Disney prefers what the Producer/Director wants to do then thats WHAT we would get.

David Giler and Walter Hill used to have a LARGE Roll/Say in the ALIEN Franchise, but they seemed to ALSO have their OWN Idea on HOW to Expand and Go Forwards with the Franchise that looks to be DIFFERENT to what Ridley Scott had seen as the WAY to go.

"What are your thoughts on the ALIEN RPG?"

It seems Interesting, however i have NOT read it, and i have not really looked in Depth into it.  Maybe ONE DAY i may Purchase it for Source Material to Read what FLUFF etc they have.  But i doubt i will ever PLAY the game.

I'm currently working on a campaign that draws heavily on the dark horse comics and video games, which shares the same universe as my fanfiction the AVPU

looks interesting, don't forget to share it when it's finished

Andrew Gaska remains the Alien canon expert. He is currently the consultant used for the books and games as well. Its not just the RPG canon. And its just my opinion, of course, but I would hardly call it "fluff," especially as Disney is looking to consolidate the lore going forward.

I'll take ALIEN RPG canon over what Noah Hawley and Marvel has in mind for the series

The new expansion is called of Heart of Darkness and by the look of its cover will feature the Deacon from Prometheus. The previous book, Colonial Marine Operation Manual included two lines of black goo mutants based on Holloway and Fifield

so the Deacon-line are now just called Protomorphs

I like the consolidated information. My only revision to the ARPG is switching the Facehugger's scientific name to Noxhydria manumala, which lets the Ovomorph take the sensible name of Noxhydria noxhydria, as genus Noxhydria can contain both lifeforms, while genus Manumala limits itself to only the XX121 facehugger, its Praetomorph cousin, and maybe the Trilobite.

I consider the ovomorph and the facehugger to be the same species as the rest of the xenomorphs as Linguafoeda acheronsis since they carry the xenomorph's genetic material just different stages of the same species.

I'm looking forward to see more Alien RPG content, I've been preparing for a two years to start up my campaign. Mostly out of procrastination, I have an idea for a story I just I need some more sci-fi themed maps. I have been borrowing some from Star Finder since generic sci-fi maps are rare; at least on Fantasy Grounds
