To counteract this feature, you may choose the Terrified of Drowning negative feature. Even before the world’s rulers are revealed to be a race of reptilian aliens, your Conspiracy Theorist positive feature can help you penetrate the lies perpetrated by the establishment. In each of the three categories-physical, mental, and social-you’ll need a positive feature and a negative feature for your character.įor instance, in the mental category, your character may choose the Conspiracy Theorist positive feature. They also can give you an edge in certain situations, while holding you back in others. These features are what truly define your character, setting you apart from your fellow companions. Each character also has a number of features, both positive and negative. You are more than just your raw abilities and disabilities, however. These characteristics determine exactly what you’re capable of when the aliens attack, from understanding and operating alien technology, to convincing some other survivors to hide you, to defeating an alien copy of yourself in hand-to-hand combat! Unlike most other RPGs, Alien Invasion and the other titles in The End of the World offer you a unique opportunity-the chance to play as yourself in the midst of the apocalypse! Before the aliens arrive and start firing death rays, you and your friends make abstracted versions of yourselves by assigning points to six characteristics: dexterity, vitality, logic, willpower, charisma, and empathy. Watch out for UFOs, and prepare for close encounters with an Alien Invasion at the end of the world! An elegant, narrative rules system keeps the game’s focus on the story as you experience one of five unique scenarios, each of which features dozens of possible adversaries and encounters. Like Zombie Apocalypse and Wrath of the Gods, Alien Invasion invites you to play as yourself, in your own hometown, as an extraterrestrial attack erupts around you.
