Making Aliens

[alex_greene]

So I recently picked up the Pocket Player's Guide and after a while of just looking through it I've decided to make my own campaign and well I've noticed that the book doesn't really have any rules for making your own aliens. So I was wondering if there is a book new or old for making new aliens, or maybe even direct me where I might find rules for it online.

With a title like "Making Aliens" my only thought is "Well, when a Mummy Alien and Daddy Alien love one another very much ..."

I'm only thinking $3-$5-ish, since it'll be less than 40 pages (unless I fill it out with some examples to bring the page count up to 48 pages). I might also make it available in print for about double that, if you wanted a softcover version, too.

At that price range for a PDF, I would almost consider it a must buy.

Then if I found it really useful, I'd probably have to invest in a print copy, for which price I would probably be willing to pay 4-5 times the PDF, depending on production values.

...they find a Tertiary Parent in which the mommy alien implants its ego into the tertiary parent, and the daddy alien fertilizes the egg through a five day ceremonial dance with said tertiary parent. The baby alien grows into the tertiary parent for five years before bursting out and eating the tertiary parent. Six years later the baby alien give rebirth to the tertiary parent and then it gets to decide its gender.

...

Sad part is...I made all that crap on the spot.

They have a blurb about it in the Aliens section of the full book first edition. Having never seen the pocket edition I can't comment.

Good Morning, All:

If there's still interest in this, I'll be releasing Flynn's Guide To Alien Creation this week. I'm working on layout right now, and then it should be done.

The PDF should cost $3.99 and the Print On Demand version should run around $8.99.

I'll make a formal announcement when all is ready.

With Regards,
Flynn

There is still interest, also in Flynn's Guide to Robots.

Does anyone else think that this thread has a rather Unfortunate title?

:shock:
