My gaming group is not a fan of the Year Zero rules, mostly because they're a bit too lightweight for some of the games we enjoy. Plus most of us are not fans of gimmicky dice sets (of which, Year Zero makes us of).
One of the group is a mad Alien fanboy, has been since the first time he saw the first movie. Bought the first Alien RPG, didn't like the Phoenix Command rules system it used so he made his own rules system inspired by some other games he'd played.
He wanted the Free League edition of Alien from the moment he heard about it, so much so that he got the special version or whatever it was.
When it finally arrived, he phoned me to talk about it because he was dead keen on running an Aliens game.
He told me the book was gorgeous to look at but the rules... the rules system was... lacklustre... he described them as "a hot mess".
He decided to run a Call of Cthulhu game instead.
